I must say, that wing is fantastic, and I hate big wings. That thing is all business and no Pep Boys like the GTS wing.

Sooo hot, want to touch da hiney!

Fantastic!

Thanks everybody - a lot of work, that we were too busy to post at the time, went into getting that car to its debut, but we'll post more features of the build as we progress thru the year in trying to optimize the car
Here are some on track galleries out there:

Sweet build!

I would of at least updated the rear tails on the e90 to the LCI ones!

Finished car looks awesome

Now that we've had a chance to put the car on the track and see how it affected the car, we're probably going to take an inch or two off each end.

Oh woooow! Amazing ...l

Can you elaborate on this? How did it affect the car?

You want to be able to make the car handle neutral with some room for adjustment. With a wing that large, it will be hard to get rid of understeer.

Here are some pro shots from the first race weekend

New pads for those StopTech GT-4 Calipers are over an inch thick

My brother and I attended the event at Chuckwalla and saw this beast first hand....and it is awesome. We were really pleased to see one of the club racers take on an E9X build, they are pretty rare at the moment.

I look forward to the next segment.

scottn2retro · 05-07-2012, 10:17 AM

We spent Friday at the LA Chapter track school at Cal Speedway and after Ralph did some laps, we had a special guest driver for a few laps - Boris Said!

He was at the school raising awareness for his new BMW dealership in Murrietta. He also had some good feedback/suggestions for us regarding the car setup.

Nice!
