well if you get fast enough then you will have to worry about a whole new set of things besides just tires. like biggie said more track days more problems.

Looking forward to it (them).

Next step is stop worrying about brakes. Sat in a buddys car with big brake kit and accelerating into cars that were braking much earlier and then hard on the brakes with some bbk - that felt pretty gnarly

My opinion of stock brakes plus pads being good enough has completely gone out the window. So has stock suspension. But suspension will stay stock until i get much much much better. I know it is still way more capable than i am.

What clear reflectors are those? Any more pics? They look great from that angle on white.

It will stay relatively stock. Its pretty much stock right now less track tires/pads. Guess for now it will just be all maintenance related. My problem so far is a damn exhaust rattle and some paint chip on wheels. Either have to fork up to buy new hangars or deal with it or find a creative way myself to get rid of that annoying shit. Diy wheel repair and exhaust alignment.

I'm pretty much stock as well with track wheels/tires and pads but I also have camber plates. I highly recommend getting plates even for the stock suspension so you can run -2.5 camber up front. It will save your tires and really improve your corners beyond what stock camber allows.

Yeah i forgot to mention that!

Which plates do you use? Need to find one that doesnt lift the front end at all and doesnt make noise. Rec?

1MOREMOD · 10-21-2013, 10:41 AM

i had the vorshlags on my e90 and thought they were great. very stout piece.

Yup, Vorshlags are great with no added noise and they seem very well built. I bought 1MOREMOD's used plates.

Haha oh yeah forgot about that. I'm getting a whole new group of guys hooked on modding. I really need some rehab. I built my e46, bought a trailer, got the x5d, and am doing more this winter, all this year.

pkimM3r · 10-21-2013, 01:50 PM

camber plates are easily attainable - as in "babe, what? I didn't add any other mods, you don't see anything do you?"

she will however notice 15k and yes she would notice sound and difference in speed because of course I would be giddy and floor it. I'll say damn that akra makes this shit so much faster! hahah

Drove on the Pacific Coast Highway to San Diego.

pkimM3r · 10-29-2013, 01:52 AM

Swapped my pads back to stockers. In dire need of a brake flush (pedal seems too soft). Maybe its just lack of pads.

Pay $150 or do myself is the question. That $150 could go towards camber plates though.

Ive done it on the evo. Just lazy to do it at this point. Plus $150 is not too bad (which includes brake fluid of choice). Since i have couple bottles of castrol srf, maybe itll be more like $75.

you should gift me the srf and just run it how it is.

Did some night driving on Saturday

e92zero · 11-04-2013, 04:28 PM

Got around to install and hooked up the gauges from IND on the center console. It's pretty cool but I don't like how the shade of white is different on all 3 gauge. I have oil pressure, water temp, and voltmeter.

rslavujevic · 11-04-2013, 06:05 PM

Washed and re oiled my green drop in filter. After 15xxx miles still looked clean with barely any dirt
