Love the guys at SlipAngle! Yes, Firelaps is very cool and will be an incredible resource as they continue to release features.

[hsaguirre]

Will look into it. Very interesting!

No you didn’t. It’s not an app but a website.

DOWNLOADED.

i thought it was hot lap lmao.

[hsaguirre]

“Downloaded” as well and have no idea what I’m doing. Do I plug in Garmin data or aim data? And I’m guessing it’s not mobile friendly.

Pretty sure it’s not garmin friendly, but supports AIM files.

Since I’m keeping my E92 I’m starting to look at “what’s next” for the build. I’m pretty happy with how it is but would love some input on what real aero would be a good move.

Thinking either Bimmerworld splitter + BW Carbon GT Wing, or 9L Wing. Or something like an APR splitter + wing, or something different altogether.

Also thinking about doing carbon door cards and some other trick interior pieces.

[1FastSicilian]

first couple of warm days here in NY and I noticed driving around localled my oil temps are probably 210-220... Last year I was pretty much always under 210.

I want to reduce this before my track events.

Debating either do88 or CSF oil cooler. Any recommendations?

Also, I'm running redline 5w50 oil.

I don't think you need different aero right now, the bimmerworld setup skews toward understeer, your rear aero is probably fine for now. I'd put my $ toward weight loss.

Good point.

Only issue with weight loss going forward is it’s going to really make the car more terrible for the street. Not saying I won’t, but it’s the facts. Door cards, AG battery, front carpet, nav unit etc. may lose another 100lbs but at what cost? Still may be the way though..

I'm pretty picky when it comes to aero cause I still factor in looks before function lmao.

zebulon is my number 1 pick due to it meeting criteria for me.

pros:
1. aesthetically pleasing to look at
2. functional

cons:
1. expensive AF.

then my friend amir at RSfuture

pros:
1. aesthetically pleasing to look at
2. functional

cons:
1. expensive but cheaper than zebulon

but you can't go wrong wit the Bimmerworld front lip + GT race wing

pros:
1. aesthetically pleasing to look at
2. functional

cons:
1. not much other than wait time

id probably opt the wing for a Voltex Type 3 tbh. just for my personal taste..but 1 year wait.

do plastic 4 performance rear quarter windows for a easy $200 weight reduction..

light weight battery if you haven't

kmp wheel? is a nice touch

karbonius plenum?

partially gut the car?

[slcook54]

If you want a NLR wing shoot me a dm, I can help out and save you some money. Same with the bimmerworld items

What are these 305s you speak of?

[spxxx]

Haha no idea, just messing with him... Don't even know what sizes A7's come in, I try to avoid tempting myself with purple crack by looking at them online.

[Evice]

I thought I'd update this thread with a video from VIR. Stock engine, @ 3235lbs. Not many changes from last year. Electro-hydraulic PS pump and rear wing.

Purchased a sequential and ECU but I didn't have a chance to get them installed and tuned yet.
