Great to meet some local family, including Tripod06, Hermes, Marcus, William, Tripod06, Jeff, and Jared, and... and I forgot 1 or 2 names. Sorry I had to scoot early. Here's one of the two videos, with footage of James' restored M6 and Jared polishing the right rear door of Tripod06's car.

I thought you were going to say, "You missed a spot!" Also posted a shorter video of Jeff polishing a different door.

Edit: And here's one reason I didn't detail my car yesterday... because today I took it to the "Streets of Willow" for a track day. Every time I was down the front straight (which made my car feel more powerful because it's a downhill straight), I was thinking "Better shift before 6100 RPM!" You can see photos of my car on the track photographer's web site here:

I zip-tied a plastic pumpkin to my roof rack to make it easy to pick out of the photo thumbnails... and to scare any slower drivers in front of me. But most of the drivers in my group (lower intermediate) were actually faster than I am, and when I did a guest stint in the next group up (high intermediate), EVERY other driver was faster than me, at least all the ones who got timing.

Great video. Interesting technique.

Nice! How did you like the DAS?

looks like some bigger sway bars/coilovers might be the next mod for you

[LivesNearCostco]

Yes, still on stock springs and getting a wee bit of body roll! DAS seemed to help a little but I don't have an apples-to-apples comparison. For that need to go back to AutoClub Speedway on a warm day, run the Roval config and make sure my camera can see the speedo.

[Hermes]

Just FYI, the guy that had the fastest time this weekend at Qualcomm only had intake and coilovers on his M3 ZCP. He was 16 seconds faster than the ZHP that ran but I'm sure driver had a big part to do with that. I'm sure the ZHP could've been at least 5-6 seconds faster (I was talking to the car's PO who now drives a M5)

[LivesNearCostco]

M-mod or Gold class? Coilovers suggests camber plates also.

[Hermes]

M-mod. Gold is the instructor class. Yeah, I'm sure camber plates too. I was just trying to say no real engine tuning, just a bolt on intake
