Nice! I’ve seen some local guys, doing the top parking deck. I haven’t done it YET though.Quote:

Hey now..
Without Oil Drillers help, that Beemer you have won't be making any curves.
Strip Miners are for Teslas.
Took her to my first track day at Charlotte Motor Speedway yesterday. Car was great, the new suspension really paid off. Feels pretty much perfect. The new weak link are definitely the tires, especially running stock staggered sizes. 245 square would be ideal. It also felt like it really ran out of breath past 4200rpm, but maybe that's just clogged cats and the bugged MS45 tune (haven't gotten the DISA knock fix yet). It very slowly crept up on a R33 Skyline on the oval which has 250hp I believe, so I don't think the car is down on hp. I'll have to troubleshoot more.

Nice! Yeah tires and brakes will be your weakest link - I found the HPS pads are okay to start but if you do a lot of events then you'll wear through them very fast. Tires as well - my Conti ECS did not hold up well with extended use, the heat was just too much.Quote:

Also jealous of your ability to take nice pics. And the fact that I've extended storage of my car until end of April - just too busy with school so might as well save a bit of cash, and parts hoard
I've got the HPS pads too, I used to have Cool Carbon ST pads, but they are borderline useless on the street. Took at least 10 60-0 slam stops to get them to bite. The HPS also squeak like crazy, but at least cold bite is OK. For my next set I want to get Carbotech or PFC, which my SCCA friend says are the best options. You might want to check those out too.Quote:

As for pics, all it takes is strapping a $20 vintage lens onto a big ass sensor and the rest takes care of itself. What you should truly be jealous of is this Spec E46 that only weighed in at 2600lbs. The guy said he has to find ways to increase the weight because it's too light for the class spec now.
