    Another w/end of HPDE action in the 318iSlow

    The car held up beautifully with the newer radiator and the tires were awesome as well. It pays to have good instructors - can't emphasize any better!!

    Ely - WOT much? :D Your car's neatly sorted out - come out for some more fun next year!

    It was an awesome w/end indeed and I can say that I learned a lot this w/end as well. Traffic was nowhere near as bad as last time around. I think at one point I got 5 or so consistent point-bys enabling me to get the some very smooth laps. My instructor just sat quiet. As to the point-bys and people not lifting for the 318iSlow I don't think that issue will ever disappear 100%. I would say it was 80% on Sunday but I can work with that.

    The highlight of the w/end was when the s50 325iS was behind the orange-ish colored LOUD Porsche and was given a point by on the straight going into 10a

    Here's some action pics of my 318iSlow :D

              Thx guys. The pics were taken by a pro. who's on site. They burn a cd for you and send you another one later on with a couple more pics.

              Car plans: oil change and 2 more auto-x for this season. Same for next year. Full auto-x season but 3 HPDEs minimum rather than 2. Only mods will be s.frame and t.arm bushings along with basic maintenance.

              Car setup: Hawk HPS pads. e30m3 5 lug hardware. Stock Balo Rotors. Falken Azenis 615 205/50/15. ATE Super Blue. 600Front 650 Rear GC semi-coilovers. Koni Single Adjustables. Rear Swaybar Delete.

              2002 Maniac. Here's the Azenis Tire config I am running: Cool w/end so optimal tire pressure was 40psi cold and ended up around 47 or so a few mins after pulling into the paddock where my stuff was. I wasn't taking them immediately so it's possible they were a bit higher. I tried 38cold but that didn't seem to do me too good so 40cold is what I stayed with.
