    If you already have urethane ones in there - which I think Lance does, then yes.

    Now if they are OE rubbers, that is indeed another story.

      My hill billy internet "high speed" connection sucks fucking dick, so it won't load the damn video. From the sound of things it sounds like you're having fun. I'm guessing it was an m3? Or was it a M coupe or roadster?

        It finally played. That looks like a lot of fun. Is that an instructor with you? How much does that cost you? Is it through your BMWCCA chapter?

          Yeah, my RTRS urethane bushings sorta failed. If you notice my car trying to jump into the grass to the left at Turn One that's the reason.

          Yes, the instructor is riding shotty giving advice on earlier/later/faster/smoother/different line, etc. ~$325-350 entry fee or something, plus hotel if you waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles it, tires, brake pads, etc. Buckeye BMW chapter but i had some local friends doing it as well.

              if you drive only one track your entire life, you tend to get fast at it :)
              Lance, go somewhere else for the love of God.

                As long as I don't end up in Chicago this summer, I'll be at MO with some 205 ES100s, new RTABs, and rehung muffler.

                If I do, may be a slightly different course of events.

                  Thanks for posting that vid, I enjoyed it! My suspension setup sounds similar to yours so it's nice to hear some good feedback.

                    Nice driving!
                    You either have shitty drivers out there, you are improving to where you are really fast or both.

                      Its pretty obvious the guys in the E46 and the Mcoupe were out there for the first time. If not... yikes.

                      As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
                      You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

                          The Coupe had about 4-5 DEs at MO and this was his first weekend at Putnam, although this was from Sunday.

                          I'm at Purdue, being my usual self as you know. You should come down and see a big engineering school... and certain social liberties the Big Ten has to offer. It's not that far. And I guarantee events in April will be fun (Grand Prix go-cart race among them)

                            Seems to me that in the CCA schools around here, a lot of the drivers are pretty conservative, even in the intermediate and advanced groups.

                            NASA events seem to be a little more "wide open".

                              They might as well go on a Sunday drive.

                                YEa, nice thing about e30s is you can go for shit...and frankly, well...although a lot is at risk at my car, I don't care. But, in all honestly, they're f-ing e30's - not a brand new 335i.

                                And, heeter, I might have to take you up on that! ;-)

                                I use a cruisecam too, but when my headrest falls down, you get half dash and half windsheild. lol
