derbo Yikes - thanks - I'll see if I can get a room not facing the freeway. I'll be doing a 2-day event there and driving up Friday, so it's not practical to drive home 4 to 4.5 hours each way

Super8 might be better? I never been there but I heard better things.

They even have showers on the backside of the bathroom building. I took a quick dip on Saturday before leaving the track all sweaty

A boss, nope you didn't hold it high enough , pull wheel forward and bam scrap all the wheel weights off via brake shield .

Studs
Unbolt wheel, take sip of beer, slide forward .

This ^

If you don't have a back of a 20 year old, you will appreciate studs.

I always was in the opinion that studs are for a wanna be racer, until I started to switch left to right wheels in the middle of track day, and all 4 when getting home after getting up at 5am to go to a track day.

At some point the bolts get old.

I sure hope that Future Classic 14mm hubs and MSI studs are good enough. It would be a bummer to start dealing with yet another solution. But Core solution is very neat. I would think the rear Future Classic is good enough. The front are easy to replace with Core press in studs if necessary.

Looking to find a virtual coach.

I am looking for references to a virtual HPDE coach that and analyze videos and AiM lap data.

I appreciate pointing me to someone you know.

Have you guys never used one of those wheel hangers? I used it with my Audis back in the day, shit made things so much easier. LOL

Ximian · 05-26-2020, 08:35 AM

My Apex EC7 wheels line up easily and stay balanced on the hub unlike the 359 wheels. The downside of studs is when your wheel rusts against the rotor and you need to kick it from the inside to loosen it until it drops on the studs.

If you need studs, you go to enough track days that minimize the issue

I have two of them. They work fine, and only take a few seconds to insert and remove.

Robby Foley is a current IMSA GT driver usually partnered with Bill Auberlen in endurance BMW's, has experience in cars like yours, and is currently doing coaching.

He's currently based out of Florida, but like any racing driver, is sortof everywhere all at once.

If I were you, I'd hire directly. It looks like his offical profile DM's are open.

Here's an example of their standard offering. A few of my buddies have used them. They were already fast and got even faster.

Yup I use wheel hangers. Takes about 5 seconds to install the hanger and 5 seconds to remove per wheel. Been using these https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben.../003335sch01a/

Hey M3P track guys - I sold my E90 a few years back and have had an E46 m3, c6 z06, SS1LE, and am now back to an E92 m3 that I plan to build into a full track car. I bought M3MPH1S's (member on here) m3 and it was inexpensive enough to pull all the interior out and not feel bad about it!

The SS1le was an absolute beast and fun to drive but just lacked the soul that these M3's have. They are also pretty heavy and are losing value FAST. I sold it due to a lack of driving it. I wasn't planning on getting another car, but when I saw his I could not pass it up.

Just wanted to say what's up, and really nice to be back with an S65 as i loooove this motor. Always been a 6 pedal or no pedal guy, but went DCT this time around, seems like the faster trans around a track. I've spent a bunch of time driving in champ car, nasa TT and doing some shifter karting the last few years. I have become friends with a couple of pro IMSA drivers (the Taylor brothers) and have learned a ton from them on our karting days. So i'm excited on being back into this chassis and seeing how it performs after way more experience behind a wheel.

Welcome back! Since you're going DCT, you may want to get this ahead of time. Solved my DCT laggy shifting and eventual limp mode due to low pressure. (codes reveal it)

Oof, that's a kick in the nuts price-wise lol. I'll definitely look into it!

kyippee · 05-26-2020, 03:56 PM

Who knows.. maybe the car already has it? Maybe just try tracking the car a lot and see if it's needed!

Could be, need to get it on my lift and look to see all the aftermarket parts i've got. Was definitely planning to do the GTS tune.
