Who do you guys use for coaching on track? Would prefer Laguna Seca and curious to hear some reviews. Just found out from a friend he lined up a coaching session with Pobst next year for my 40th. We'll see if that really happens but that sounds awesome.

Anyway, yeah feeling like next step is some in car coaching and interested to explore that.

Took the M2C to Super Lap Battle - lot's of pics of it on track, in the garage, pit, paddock, etc - and came away with a couple of pics a local photog snapped of my street car there being my absolute favorites

Interesting to see that with all the resources the F1 team has, it still caught by surprise in real world condition.

Yeah this is nuts! Probably changes at each circuit too. Really excited to see this season and hoping HAAS, who is HQ near me, will choose to drop Uralkali livery the entire season. Let's go Max!

Removed race pads and brake cooling hoses today until next track day. Removing the hoses only took a couple minutes each side and everything appears to be in good condition. I was excited to see how much better the pads and rotors looked, especially the inside pads, from the extra cooling after an 80 lap day at Laguna Seca. Finally something I did worked! 😂

I am going to use brake paint this season to see temperature. I have 3 colors, each with its temp designation.

He's local to me in Texas but also coaches IMSA, Trans Am, and WRL. Has coached at pretty much every track you can think of. Also a multi-year national champ for NASA. I bet he would travel but you'd have to cover those costs too.

went to BW with my car super slammed 2/28 managed a decent pace with the BTCC set up, since im doing a work project also which requires my car to be slammed lol. since we are replicating cars from that era with modern day tech.

did order a couple spring sets for when i'm at my next event. it may be low on track, but it functioned decently enough for me to have fun again and it looked cool.

nah not the BBK, it's more in reference to how low the car sits right now.

we do want to run the BTCC spec bbk on our V70 wagon.

Finally got to put some street miles on the Turner solid subframe/delrin diff bushings.

Solid sub has been preached over and over, my feelings echo whats said. Rear is much more responsive, no more weird wiggling over bumps, just feels more connected.

The delrin diff bushings are AWESOME. I don't think they're that loud at all in a full interior car, even my wife didn't mind. Music easily drowns it out. Love how much easier full throttle shifting is. Definitely hear all the half shaft play when cold now at slow speeds, but at 107k I probably need a new diff anyways lol. Either way, I'd skip powerflex and go for these, I can't imagine those are much quieter and the turner rear delrin has a nice preload setting feature.

That's pretty slick, how do you pre-load it?

I can't find the pdf online for the m3, but this step from these instructions is the same as what came with the bushings.

Your car is 6MT? 6MT diff bushes are quieter than DCT. Delrin would be a lot louder on a DCT car.
