You should swap out Jan's bigger header on your car. It's not doing anything on his car.

Have fun with your new baby for awhile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicely done!

I can see what you did all day at work

 

Not to get off subject here, but Jan back in post# 229 you mentioned upgrading fuel systems. That for me atleast has been a black hole with nothing but injectors to offer, where could I find a 255LPH pump, adjustable regulator and such?

LB check out my suspension thread, I figgured it out last night and not just that stuff but everything I am going to buy over here turns out to be about $14,000 in parts.

And Steve I put up a better pic of my exahust on my power thread, you said you wanted to see it

Sorry it took so long for me to join in again, I was on my way back to Baghdad.

 

Don't listen to Jan. There is nothing wrong with my suspension. The combination of running the car low, 215x35x18 tires, tight offset, my large 6'1" 235lb frame and Jan's fat a$$ in the car we get a little tire rub. No big deal. It only happens on the deep dips at speed with fatness in the car.

This car handles way beyond what most could handle and can be pushed well beyond excitable speeds on the street. I see these guys with basically track suspension on their street cars all the time. Why? For that one or two track day they do a year. Most don't even track yet they have 2K + coilovers. Whats the point.

I built my car for me. I wanted great power, killer handling and a nice ride. My goal all alone was to build an M3 type car.

Here is my suspending and brakes combo.

H&R street coilover
IE fixed camber plates
OMP upper and lower braces
ProMini rear drop links
Alta 22mm sway
Helix adjustable control arms
Poly control arm bushings
Poly trailing arm bushings
Poly engine mount bushing

StopTech front calipers and hats
RacingBrake front rotors
Stoptec rear rotors
Carbotech pads
Helix Stainless lines
TyrolSport caliper stiffening kit rear

Now maybe it's me but I think this is the best "street" set up. It does everything I ask and still rides smooth. And in the hands of a good driver the whole car is a weapon .

Sooo when ya going to let Ian take it to the track???

 

It looks to nice for the track. I'd be in fear of a rock chip! Track cars follow the 50/50 rule..... 50 feet away at 50 mph they look great!

 

Hey man, my car looks good close up. I know Kelly drives her Mini on the track and it still looks amazing. Just tape that thing up or get a clear bra in the front and do it.

 

Come on Ian. You drove Jan's garage queen. Maybe you should drive both at a Time Attack for them...................

 

Your not getting close enough to pick up a draft then...

 

You be the judge.

Anyway, tracking our cars for fun is a lot different vs racing pro. People let you pass once you get behind them and vise vs.

 

Hmm, there was an M1, is an M3, a Z4m, an M5, and an M6... guess the mini's can use the designation M2?

add a scrolling euro plate and paint your passenger's window toggle switch red and apply "ejector seat" sticker.

 

That's *FUNNY*! ! ! !

C ya,

Rock chip or two...or threee just gives it a bit of character, don't ya think?

 

Nothing wrong with chips
