Looking good! Can't wait to see what you think. You're already pretty tail happy, are you sure the baby wing is enough? ..unless you want to having it sliding around.

What kind of apr splitter is that? You said it replaces the undertray? I got a apr also, but it is way to short to replace the undertray. My undertray is in shit condition from all my off roading events. I want one that replaces it too.

Haven't checked in here for a while. I bought an external mic for my GoPro hoping my car would sound as epic (maybe just a little more Honda-ish since it's an S54 ) as M3 Number 86's but it doesn't, unfortunately.

I also purchased a set of Apex Arc-8s in 18x10 E25 from a member on here. $890 shipped! Can't wait to get my NT01s mounted on those.

Got it from Eric so maybe it was made for him? It goes all the way back and has the square opening in the middle where the undertray does as well.

Always liked the rhythm on Mid Ohio.

Tension arm monoballs are in. I really love the way they tighten up the steering feel. Feels very precise like a scalpel. Got rid of a little bit of slop/shimmy in the steering wheel. This was a very good investment!

It's a great track! With it being pretty technical, it's always interesting.

Where did you place your mic?

In the first video, I have AP headers and SS Race exhaust. Much was placed where you see it in the photo.



In the second video, mic placement is where the blue tape is. It's centered and higher up. I'm also using a more expensive mic without a wind buffer. CPI stepped headers and SS Race.



You could also try to capture intake noise.


I've been trying to hunt down a bit of brake, intake, exhaust, and diff noise but haven't been able to, so I'm just going to place the mic in the spare tire area to capture 3 out of the 4.
