same here...

Not sure i'd call my e90 a track rat earl... lol.

For years I told myself with various cars they had to be at a certain level of mod or have certain parts for me to track them and I came to the realization this was a really stupid train of thought and being on track has confirmed this.  You have to get out there with what you have!  For fucks sake, there was a guy with a new, completely stock Acura TL out there!  Im glad I did this on stock suspension so I can test my limits and a level closer to my own skill and make an informed decision on suspension mods instead of what I read online.

TL;DR:  RUN WHATCHA BRUNG!

I guarantee I wouldn't have that fun of a time with my coupe as is lol

Throw some stock wheels on it and raise it.  Done.

[Earl]

Too much work for one day. Plus it drives much better now than it did when I had it raised and on stock wheels lol. I think my stock wheels are all bent

Finally getting some of the pictures from my track day!

Love the last 2 shots. Your car corners flatter than I would expect for stock suspension. Unless all the pics are from the out-lap/cool down lap [emoji14]

It did feel pretty flat but I definitely felt the heft in the turns, especially on the carousel.  I could feel the weight pulling the car outside as opposed to tossing the body.

Are you talking about turn 3 or 3D,  I struggled coming out of 3D and 7 without visiting understeer city. Everything else was great though. 

[patsbimmer1]

3 I could feel the weight when I pushed it harder but I was still carrying good speed.  Coming out of 5 and 6 I had quite a bit of understeer.

I raced a boosted r6 tonight from 65 and smoked him.  No contest. #fastestn54

Nice. Is your signature still up to date? Just downpipes and a tune? No ethanol?

[B C]

I believe it. Nothing like a good rage-roll. 

I remember he said he put new injectors in sometime last year.

[patsbimmer1]

FBO, i've dabbled in ethanol.

[i_love_cars]

there is a Meijr that opened up in Sussex that has E85 on pump. That now makes 2 gas stations within 5 miles of my house that have E85 on pump. I love ethanol.

[Rowleym]

Man some days I wish I lived near a city... I used to daily drive on e85, closest pump being 30 miles away haha.

Stock fuel system, or stage 1 inline pump?

Let's meet up soon! I want to see how the cars compare.
