Does the PCA not mind you driving a Bimmer at their Driving schools?

No ...most PCA regions allow any marque. Still own porsches also.

First lap; I love it how the Porsche gave you the point by when you were already alongside passing him.

It was gonna happen whether he indicated or not, lol

nice driving

I cannot speak for PCA, but I work for a track day organization and we do not care what car you have as long as you have a car and a desire to have fun. In these economic times, events are being cancelled all the time due to lack of registrants.

^^ yea the centerlines are starting to wear,and these were brand new(-one heat cycle)..pressure was fine (45 hot),and temps were damn good accross the tire..the fronts were very close,running 3.25deg camber,the rears were a little hot on the inside,but only running close to 2 deg (i think)..first time running the r888's.. i run hoosiers on the 944...at 2400lbs and a shitty 140hp to the wheel,my times (BEST 1.22 sec at RR) are alittle better than the E30,but not by much

This is true, I can fit 17's over the brakes, so maybe the 18x9.5 245/35/18 steam rollers need to go!


OP, finally was able to watch your vid. the car looks fast! How do you like the R888's? any centerline death wear problems?

That's without the driver!

Damn! Maybe its the 5lug stuff and the wheels that really add the pounds...

[Eric]

It must be the driver :rofl:

Ha. I think I got you beat on being pissed at my own E30 for being a fatty. 2730, with a 1/2 a tank.... sound deadening removed, AC removed, no spare, etc etc. :(

Is it the car in your sig? you still have interior, mtech kit. swap that out and you'd probably be under my gutted track rat.

[e30s50dan]

ordered a new fuel pump...Id be happy at half tank full,as long as its not starving

[craz azn]

That's pretty good, I wonder why mine is so heavy! it's 2630 with a full tank and all kinds of crap removed:cockbloc:

Very sweet! I got mine a little lighter, but nowhere near the hp. I would kill to have a 10:1 hp to weight ratio! I am stuck with 17:1:(

An accumulator can't be all that much more expensive. I can't say for certain as I haven't spec'd one out yet but I'd imagine it's a better long term solution then a "heavy" band aid. but that's just my opinion.

And I totally agree with your opinion ;) I'll worry about that after I wrap up finals!

the fuel cut off is a semi common e30 issue for later models with only one pump. early models had two, but you could go and get a secondary external pump to rectify that matter.

Yeh, I'm contemplating this...BUT having a secondary pump won't really change anything if the fuel can't be picked up from the LEFT side of the tank. I'm seriously considering an accumulator but then again, carrying around the 5 gallon jug that I had is also a cheaper solution. Only catch is that the car will be heavier...
