went autoXing this pass weekend- what a blast. my car has no shifter bushings so rather than missing gears i just stayed in second the whole time. here's a video link and pictures.
first lap did a 74! it was so bad cause i was going way too fast coming into corners and also got there so late i couldnt walk the course and i was guessing! last run was the fastest at a 66.645 0.205 seconds off a 97 porsche 993 TT!!! not bad i guess! fun stuff! sorry the cars so ugly- it sat since 89!!!

If you put the 320i calipers on say "Welcome to Street Prepared"
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH STOCK BRAKES. Porterfiled pads and rebuilt calipers and you will be fine I PROMISE. |

QUOTE(Joe Ricard @ Apr 23 2007, 01:04 PM)  If you put the 320i calipers on say "Welcome to Street Prepared" Sorry there Joe, but bimmer brakes aren't legal in SP either... Say "Welcome to PREPARED or STREET MODIFIED" QUOTE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH STOCK BRAKES. Porterfiled pads and rebuilt calipers and you will be fine I PROMISE. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) People bad mouth the stock brakes, but truth be told, a set of stock brakes in good working condition (this is the important part) are just fine. Not only for autox, where stock brakes can often be better than "big brakes", but even for limited track use. Really, if you can lock up the tires, you have enough clamping force. If you can modulate the brakes to threshold, there is nothing more you need untill you either suffer brake fade at the track (where cooling will make a WORLD of difference), or you go to really big meaty race tires and can no longer lock-em up. Then, and only then, would I consider going to more brake (if the rules allowed it). -Josh2 |
