I always wanted to get a lip/splitter, but it wouldn't survive my occasional offroad/rally excursions.

I will be doing a mild APR front splitter when I start doing track days again. I feel like the performance rear deck lid spoiler is actually functional, and I want to try it with a little more help from up front.

"mild" We all know where this is leading too. Next it will be, "the car doesn't feel quite balanced now. I think I just need a 'mild' APR rear wing to give it a little more help in back."

I'm already watching for a spare trunk to drill into.

I've been looking for used wheels to hold me over until their next group buy. I think an 18x9.5 ET35 is the way to go. I want to do an 18x10 ET25 but I don't know if it will be any easier to fit than the 18x9 ET26 we have now. I'm guessing the tire may sit a bit closer to the strut but I'm not sure.

Dammit. I'm not ready for this GB.

Sorry, I think I created some confusion.

It is my understanding that:

NT01 > RS-3 > NT05

uh huh……and we all know what's next---a supercharger for some mild horsepower, coil-overs set on mild settings, slicks set to mild psi, race seat with mild neck restraint, carbon hood for milder temps in the engine bay, ….you know---the standard, but done really mild.

[roastbeef]

Some mild JRZ's are on the list... Just need to hit some financial goals first.

ah, i see, so there's a whole mild list……yup, you and your financial goals are screwed…..

I was looking at aero after I read roastbeef 's post. Found out my friend is selling soon so it might actually happen. I want to modify the splitter so I can push/pull in/out for track/street use like the m4 GTS one does.

For the rear wing I'm going to go GTS wing for "mild"

I'm at Mid-Ohio this weekend. My ride height is 13.25", my camber is set to -4 degrees and I'm still rubbing. I don't know if I have time to wait for this group buy. Need to pull the trigger on something soon.

[silvergray545]

Here's a short clip of the cluster fck that happened today at Mid-Ohio.

I got my new mic set up but had trouble with it today. I'll get more videos tomorrow.

Had my first track day with my M3 at The Ridge today.


Tons of fun until my front right inner sidewall...


Missed the last two sessions of the day and had to get towed home because of it but things could have been worse.
I wanted to go to 255 wide anyway, guess this just pushes up the timeline

PSS?

[andrewmega]

RE760 Sport. For some reason the previous owner put 235/35-19 but they still looked to be in excellent shape so I couldn't justify just replacing them. Figured I could do a couple days with 'em first but hey, guess not.

[Jive]

Gives you a reason to get some real tires!

Makes me think you had a flat and didn't realize it.
