Buttonwillow 13CW 07.20.2013 - 2:07 in 100% stock form
Just couldn't stay away from a track much longer, so went on OE PS/2's, stock brake/pads, etc.
Ran only 2 morning sessions, and got my fix.

Nice run, especially being bone stock. My car was as loose as $5 hooker on Sunday at BW so I started at 2:25 and worked my way down to a 2:17 by dropping the tire pressure 2-3psi every run group (I should be doing sub 2:10s now and close to 2 once I have enough seat time). I was down to 25psi cold and 30-31psi hot by the last session. A lot of guys went off on Sunday and throw dirt/grave onto the track which had my traction control going off. I'm getting the suspension dialed in this week and replacing the front tires which are almost bold.

Nice driving! I was there sunday and ran a 2:09.
2010 6MT PSS 245/275 MS airfilter PMU gfour brake fluid Your car looks a lot more planted than mine... I was running 35f/38r psi. I probably should of lowered the rear for it to oversteer less... Anyways DCT seems faster haha

Yeah, lower the pressure. The more you lower, the more the tires sag, thereby giving you more tire contact area with the track surface. Of course, you don't want to lower it too much 'lest sidewalls roll over. Also, smoother driving (i.e. less weight transfers) translates into more grip.

Yeah, things sure do get easily dramatic at the Off-Ramp. Quote:
Yep, fun indeed. Yeah, tracked a buddy's BRZ at Streets of Willow last year and 'twas fun. But, add coil-over to the M, put some NT01 or TD's on, and the M has a ton of grip too.

There's a 90% chance that I'll be out there on Sunday...look for a white GT3 with an SC plate so if you see me there come say hi. I'll probably be there with a buddy who'll track his 2011 M3 that went into limp mode on the drive up this weekend (a throttle body sensor went back I believe).

After that, there really isn't an event I'd go to, 'til my car's back to track setup by end of August or beginning of September. So, I just want to run RS-3 one day - or, half a day, since it's still very hot.

I had a viper go 4 wheels off right in front of me on the warm up lap after cotton corners on the first lap, an E92 M3 went off going into riverside on the 2nd lap of my 3rd run group, and looked like an RX7 blew his engine accelerating out of off ramp right in front of me on 5th session. I wonder if me tailing them made them push a little too hard but I'm glad I kept my distance (I'd only pull up closer in the passing zones to make the passes). The 4th and 5th session I was doing a warm-up after followed by two hot laps then back to a warm-up lap.

I noticed that some of the M3 don't like the heat very much (both the E46s and E92s). I'm surprised how well the GT3s handle the heat...I was running just a touch above normal...it can take the heat a lot better than I can.

Yes, ZCP wheels. Quote:
I alternated between hot and cool-down laps. Seemed to work well for the stock car in this heat.

Ok, registered for Sunday. Will probably run the morning 2 sessions, though. Still too hot to run all day.

My coolant temp light was lighting up every 4-5 hot lap per session this sunday... I had to do 2 hot lap and a cool down lap so it is boarder line not lighting up.

I never tracked with Speed Ventures before...if I'm going to do a 2:15-2:20 (hopefully I'll run faster with a fresh pair of front tires and tightened up suspension) should get in the Purple group or the Black group? Do they allow you to move to a higher group if you are running a time low enough to get into the next higher group (I'm gonna get a transponder)?
