Anybody want to take any bets?

The noise is 99% of the reason to run track pads. I'd still run HP+ for a dd car over the ht10, having run both on the same car and same tires. HP+ have drastically better cold and panic braking and not much difference when warm. When HOT tho, the HP+ wilt and the ht10s STOP the car....though that really is only an issue with repeated high speed track braking abuse IME. For a primarily track car that gets driven to events I think HT10 (reay any race pad) is a perfect all around pad, but for primarily street use its (their) compromises get old fast.

Stoked to try the dtc-70.

God damn it BMW.


Invest in one of these maybe?

Thats the M42 one but there must be one out there

Unfortunately no. 2.93, 3.07 and 3.46 did but 3.15 was never in any E46. I'm in SM. I would have gotten a 3.07 had I had a choice but this one popped up used for a great price.

You guys are going to El Toro next week, right? I'm super jelly, Pro Solo looks awesome.

According to this chart, it came in the E46 325i. You can run it since they are on the same line for DSP.

I just want a BMW to start winning DSP locally, instead of that slow subaru lollll

Hey look at that, you're right! Cool. Wish there were more competition though ;)

[justint5387]

I am always right :)

Laguna Seca 4/3/13






Rally line!


(here you can see mismatched hood paint)



Didn't get any video.











Just kidding. Here's a little teaser from Bimmerman325i's car to give me time to edit the footage. It's still being processed, give it a bit.

Braaap braaaaaaaaaap!

Sideways seems to be a reoccurring theme here, ha.

[Wh33lhop]

Boom.

[Bimmerman325i]

Yeah I may have done a few of those... ;)

Yesterday was post trackday maintenance.

Here's what happens when you track 300 treadwear tires hard.



Pulling exhaust to inspect driveshaft... I've got a wobble on the highway



Holy shit that is clean



Giubo, CSB and u joints seem in good shape. Hopefully it's my diff bushings.



Draining trans fluid.. it was a bit nasty. 97k on the same fluid will do that. Remember to make sure to remove the fill plug before you drain the trans, just in case.



Pentosin MTF2 going in



Fill 'till spill



This $4.50 kragen "pump" is awesome and way better than the horrible $10 push pumps you find. Just make sure you get most of the fluid out.



Exhaust back in



Sayonara CDV!



You're history you little bastard



5W40 Lubri Moly. Yeah I tried the cool guy way without a funnel and made a mess. Luckily shop towels are aplenty.



Swapping back to stock pads... if you have a pry bar there is a very easy way to remove the rattle clips. Just pry against rotor and pull the rattle clip off.



That's it for this weekend. She's happy.

Eventually :) M54 is in great shape for now.
