For a track car, I did enjoy the rawness of the Vorshlag engine mounts. But the car is just a bit mellower on the OEM engine mounts. I don't really care about engine mounts that much. I just don't want to break/rip/damage them. Obviously, the supercharger adds to the degree of difficulty for the engine mounts. I've considered just going full solid metal for the engine mounts. When these OEM ones tear---and they will tear (maybe they have already), I may try that route, unless someone who has supercharged power can vouch for some other option. Anyway, enjoy! Let us know how things go! Last edited by dogbone; 01-25-2018 at 01:55 PM.. |

Someone get this thing and make a quick mount that can either use the oem wheel, or this wheel for track days... I wonder how the shorter radius would be...

Super happy that I set a new PB this weekend at Laguna Seca. Comparing to other E9x drivers' videos, it's clear I should incorporate more trail braking, continue to work on lines and fix my turn 11 approach.
Also ended the day with just 2-3mm of front pads left - time for new ones! If you want to see my mistakes aka opportunities for improvements, my PB session video is at: [skip to 13m:36s] Last edited by kyippee; 01-29-2018 at 05:33 PM.. |

Yup, I brought my water cup to make sure I drive smooth taking the tofu 'round the track. Yeah, the G-force meter seems to be broken when using lap timing with Waylens. I hope they'll work it out soon
Thanks! The feeling is great when there's a new PB, hopefully I can hone in further and get down to 1:46.xx or lower next time. Running pilot super sport in 265/35/18 and 285/35/18. Not much tire squeal, either they're quiet or there's more grip to be used. I'm getting squeal mostly on heavy braking and in middle parts of turns. I don't think I'm using the full traction available yet, so I'm happily whittling away the two sets of PSS I have on my wheels! Suspension stock ZCP too, nice to mod but I feel like it'd just be a crutch at the moment. |

Good stuff!
Its funny sometimes how setting a PB lap goes. I've often set them when I least expect it.... lap is smooth and flowing but doesn't feel FAST. Ive also often set them right after having a passenger for a session. Its amazing how the car works so much better w/o that extra load.

A few of my friends were there this weekend, they were in a blue GT4 (this guy is insanely fast) and a Sakhir orange F80 M3. Sorry I missed the fun but will be back with MVP Tracktime in ~4 weeks!

How do you compare the fz to an NT01 or re71? Have a set of 285 fz201 I'm waiting to mount up and anxious to see the feedback people are giving these

Don't be in such a hurry to get back to the left side of the road between 6 and 7. Take a gentler arc which will allow you to carry more speed/scrub off less speed there. You're not the only one that does this, but if you don't feel like you're going to fall off the edge of the track between 9 and 10 you're not pushing hard enough there. I saw what looked to be a lot of room between your R side tires and the edge of the track there. I have to remind myself to hustle the car between 9 and 10 every lap. GL next time you are out there!

The 6-to-7 is helpful - it scares me entering 6. With the 9-to-10 similarly I find myself taking a slower speed than necessary. Will continue working up getting comfortable with it. My friend's feedback as passenger last time was that I'm effectively cruising for a lot of the turns Last edited by kyippee; 01-29-2018 at 06:55 PM.. |

i do go, but i'm not competitive. i'm highest i've placed was 4th i think. lol my car is too heavy and the oem suspension just can't keep up, or maybe i'm just not fast enough (most likely the problem).
next track day is 03/09 at laguna seca with speed district.

in that 1-2 seconds of coasting before turn 9, you could take the car more to the right of the track, keep on the throttle, hit the turn 9 apex slightly late, and have a cleaner, faster exit. right now it looks like you tend to early apex 9, and you're using about 3/4 of the width of the track. this is one of the faster parts of the track and you have a lot of potential to shed some time there. i'm definitely not the fastest guy out there- just trying to share some thoughts. my pb at laguna is 1;43;025, but that is with nt01 tires. i still have a few things i'm working on there.

His PB is very respectable, and yours is even better roastbeef! ...and like both of you, I have a lot to work on at Laguna as well.

Just ordered two new sets of brake pads as my fronts are now worn down to ~2-3mm. I've been running the H2 pads which were like new, and they've been great but clearly get worn down quick. Did about 9,000 miles including 6 track days since installing the kit.
Given that, I decided to order both the H2 and H6, and decide next week which to install. Do you guys think the H6 will squeal like crazy in normal street driving? I don't feel like swapping pads at the track just yet. Quote:

i'm not familiar with their brakes at all. some compounds that don't squeal in the front will squeal in the rear because of the normal operating temp differences... its hard to say. i think if you go with a pad with too much initial bite or torque, you might have a frustrating time with abs once the street tires get hot.
