Did you drive it to Flow this morning? It was slick out before 8am.

I live out on the coast now. No more Flow..too much bs /shoddy work that I didnt want to be assosciated with. It was slick here too it was raining so I turned the boost down to 10psi:) You take the 316 out?

Didn't know you moved, enjoy the beach!

Yea, went to breakfast with the E30 -- it hates the snow.

That's got to be a lot of fun. What brake/wheel-tire setup do you run on track?

Mine is about the same...a bit less weight, a bit less power (hopefully to be corrected by a fixed wiring harness).

I had a fantastic sideways drive to work this morning at about 6:15. Spent probably 3.5 miles of the 4 miles there in full out drift mode.

Woohoo for 225 gForce Sports in the snow! :)

Right now I'm on E30M3 brakes (w/ my custom dual master cylinder setup and fully ducted using Harrison Motorsports brake ducts) and BBS RY's 17x8 w/ 235/40/17 Nitto NT-01's. Suspension is stock E30M3 sways w/ GC coilovers (custom valved Koni's with 500/750 springs) and Gustave's roll center spacers.

The car is really quick (3.46 diff), and it's first track day is coming in April. Full course at the Autobahn in Joliet, IL (http://www.autobahncountryclub.net/track.html)

^^^^Mike.B, out of curiousity did you buy M3ntal K3v's 5-lug 318is?

[Mike B.]

Yep, that's the one.

[e30_kid89]

Very nice...I can't imagine how wonderful that car must drive/handle with its suspension + the euro s50. I sorta was wondering where that that car went.

-The snow this morning was great... I didn't get to enjoy it until about 10am tho.
