    Last Day with my swap car

    A sad ending but it's time to move on. I finished the build about 4 years ago and have been driving it regularly ever since. The last 2 1/2 years it was a pure HPDE car. I was doing about 10 - 14 track days per season. I had multiple drivers on the car at many events -- including 3 drivers for a full 3 days at Road America 2 summers ago. We put 1000 track miles on the car that weekend without skipping a beat.

    The car was fast, fun, reliable, and a bully around the race track. I sold it to a local guy in my region that loves the car -- he is already on track day number 3 today for the season -- he is also the chief instructor in our region so it'll see plenty of track time.

                  I love this car. Are those the old Eibach Comps on the car in the pictures?

                  "Bully around the racetrack." I like that!

                    nope, sitting in my basement waiting to go back on my m3.

                    It's on current TMS J-Stock springs and shocks.

                      How much oil pan clearance did you have with those J-Stocks?

                        Enough to make it on and off a less than perfect trailer, never hit it on anything in 4 years
