That is one mean car! Awesome wheels too. How did you like the 7 mile ring of Thunderhill?
Thanks Allot! It is actually just a 5 Mile Config of TH and to be honest it has been my favorite track to date. 5 100+ MPH straight segments and plenty esses!

Yeah, Thunderhill is really fast, though I was only able to barely touch a 100 in the main straight in my justa lol. Have you driven the 2 mile track? I've heard it's really fun in Miatas and Minis.

I have driven Thunderhill east (3 mile) and the 5 mile full. I have not done the 2 mile West track alone. I have footage of a few sessions on my youtube if you care to see me in action. Not the best vantage point to verify my lines but the most dramatic effect for final product.
This weekend I replaced my JCW(with red accent) & Runflats with some stock Black Crown's with Primewell Valera Sport AS'
As well I removed the hood scoop plug which the previous owner painted red.
So basically removed all red from the car, so now it's classic Midnight Black Metallic, with my aftermarket stripes 8-) I am please the way it's turning out so far. Next I will either be blacking out all the chrome, or taking stripes off and painting all the chrome Volcano Orange (the new F56 color)

I apologize, I meant the 5 mile in the original post, wrong stroke of the key haha. I have driven only the 3 mile myself. I've just checked your youtube, you're fast! What club/organization do you run with? I really want to give the 5 mile ring a shot...

Thanks... Im getting there... I usually run with NCRC but will also run with HOD.. .Just depeneds on how bad I want to do a specific configuration and if Im will to spend that extra HOD charges.. Hit me up in a message in you would like more info, I would hate to be the new guy that gets this thread to far off topic!
We currently have pictures of forum members new R56s scattered about the forum and I think it would be great if we could compile them all in one thread for future reference.
^^^^^ what wheels are those!?!? they look gorgeous! i have a 2008 MCS BRG/W and im curious...
Thanks. They are the XXR 530 in Chromium Black. The ones I picked up are 17x7 +35 offset. Paid about $550 shipped for 4 of them from a company called NLMotoring on eBay. I love them, especially the concave design of them; and the fact that they don't rub with the offset, Koni Yellows, and H&R springs with approx. 1.8 inches of drop front and rear. They're fairly light too. Don't know the exact weight; but they are definitely lighter than stock.
