CO: HPR Winter Track Day March 13th

[Bishop]

Interesting twist, David text me.

[Bimmerman325i]

I'm going too. Experiment has been called off due to new class requirements BS, so I'm just going for a more relaxed track day. Edit-- going to register tonight.

Boulder/Niwot/Louisville area people, convoy? I need to figure out how to haul the dunlops too. Hrm.

[Cloudbase]

I'm def keen on going. I'll sign up tonight. I might not use my HP pads as I'm planning on driving pretty slow. I don't think they will fit an e30 though.

Plus if there's not enough participants, no go....

[blefevre]

dang just saw this. i wish i could go. too bad my car is down atm.

there will be another one. A lot of our cars aren't ready yet.

[Bishop]

What's wrong with your car and how have to not been more active locally? Especially living in Longmont

Does anyone have a spare set of HP+ or better pads? I tend to overthink / get paranoid about various things leading up to an event such as this Sunday, and my current paranoia is not having enough pad left on my current HP+ pads, in the front at least. I'd imagine the rears are fine..... Does anyone have a pad I can possibly "borrow" JUST IN CASE I run out of pad on Sunday? My fears will be confirmed or squashed on wed. night or thursday for sure when I can get my car in the air and pull off a wheel to see...

Ride along with me on the way down? Also, when can we get together and swap rear shocks?

Didn't we already go over this?

[Bimmerman325i]

My car won't be ready but I still might attend.

Don't worry about it Roland, we will get it sorted out. If I can find a way to power bleed the ABS it should be good. Do shops use a computer to do that or what?

The dealer used the GT1 to do mine. Not sure what would be the SOP on doing it with the E30.

A computer with a carsoft cable can replicate most GT1 functions, the dude in Longmont with the black E36 4 dr has one.

It sounds so easy!


But expensive...

I'll happily cough up half the price since I wasn't able to get it perfect, and you compensated me very generously. Let me know. Or swing by on Thursday and I'll give it another go on bleeding.

fwiw: Schomp charged me $120 to do a bleed, and after that, my pedal felt the best it ever has.

Downforce, I'm not sure. I'm tagging along with David's group.
