Your car is looking great as always! I didn't see it mentioned in your thread here but what exhaust tips did you swap on to your car? Can you share a link to them please. I think they look perfect!

Thanks man I appreciate it. They were an eBay purchase believe it or not. They were supposed to be a place holder until I decided which direction to go with the exhaust set up. Unfortunately the pair I bought is no longer available but the search below brings up some good results - basically just a dual tip straight cut staggered set.

Some recent photos from the Motor Enclave Cars and Coffee over the weekend.

Car is looking and driving great. A couple of ticky tacky things I need to work on - most importantly the annoying plenum whistle. I haven't had a reason to remove the plenum in a while to address this but it might be time to just knock it out. While I'm in there I'm going to investigate my longstanding increased emissions code that is somehow related to the secondary air pump. Going to inspect the pump itself and make sure there's no obvious disconnects.



Winner of the show in my book - Hartge 5.0



Still loving how clean the front end is. So nice looking back and not seeing license plate holes

Haven't been on the track in a while. Went ahead and booked a track day this Sunday at the Motor Enclave here in Tampa. It's a new private/public car condo community with an F1 designed track in the center and extensive off road course. Pretty cool project and the track looks fun. Best of all it's about 20 minutes from my house vs 2.5 hrs to Sebring or the FIRM. Weather looks perfect and the car is dialed.

Finally got back out on the track yesterday. Weather was a perfect 62* and sunny. Car ran exceptionally well. My first time at this track so took me a session or two to get warmed up and comfortable. Was testing limits by session three and four. This is my first time tracking the car with the new brake kit and it performed beautifully. Full confidence into heavy braking zones and was able to put them through the paces. Braking was strong, progressive, predictable and sturdy. No fade. Amazing what a new set of tires can do for grip as well. Got props from all of the instructors on how the car is set up and the lovely noises it makes.




Had some good company out there. I gave the guy in the Touring props for tracking that thing - he's got bigger balls than I ever will. Said he wasn't even having fun though, was babying it the entire time (I don't blame him). That's what's great about the M3 - you can run it at it's limits and it shows you right where the line is. Even if you cross that line it's so manageable. Makes for a fun day.







I'll go through some of the GoPro footage from the day and post a few clips later.

Was also able to take the wife to dinner afterwards. Meaning I've got the car set up just how I envisioned - capable of putting it through the paces on the track all afternoon and still make it to date night
