PCD: Last year's version
Bish, people be talking to you about suspensions but the problem is you don't be listening. I told you try putting the stock bars back in and see how that works. All youre doing with that stiff bar is transferring more weight to the side that already has the weight. But i agree Aaron needs to come out to the track...

Was the place you guys ate dinner at Tim B's pick and was it called the Dizzy Rooster or something?
That's where Reading Tim, Tim B and boberto all ate when we were up there. The burger was pretty sad.

crazy hectic day at the track today. was late trying to get the car together for first session, came out on track in the back and had to work my way through traffic and couldn't get a clean lap. because i couldn't get a clean lap on first session, my grid spot wasnt good for second session and i had to work through traffic again. but after 3 hot laps, i wasn't make making power, looked down at the boost gauge and only saw 15 psi. pulled the car in, found that one of the nut for the mani to turbine had came off. walked around the grid looking for a M10x1.5 nut (not a common size for cars). found one and put it on but still only making 15psi. i was like wtf now. looked around and saw what i thought was a ripped coupler hose from turbo outlet, it's a 2" to 2.5" reducer, not a common size either. walked around the pit looking for one, which no one has. called STM which was 1.5 hours away and they didn't have one in stock. so i decided to take the coupler off to see what i can do. turns out it wasnt ripped, just popped off. so i rush to get under the car to get it back. i had already missed the 3rd session running around looking for parts, and was in 4th place at the time. so with the car back together, i was hopping i can finally get on track and put down a decent. i pull up to the grid and dark clouds rolling through with some sprinkle, i was like wtf, azn brother can't get a break today. and to top it off, they try to put me in the back of the grid again since i miss 3rd session and didnt get a time for grid spot. i was like hellz no ****. i know i can run 2:06, so put me behind 2:06 guy. luckily they agreed. i went out and did two hot laps, fairly conservative on the braking. the on the 3rd lap, decide i can be more brake and compress the braking zone a little more. did half lap and had to slow down for caution flag. so i crap that lap and the next lap was going to be ballz to the wall. got about half lap and the car stalled exiting the Toe. looked down and i was out of gas. wtf.
turn out i ran 2:05.5 on the second lap, good enough for second place. 1st place was z06 that ran 2:04.1. i think i had time left on track but not 1.3 seconds i need to get first.
i also corded one front tires on the passenger front. the wheel is lifting and spinning on exit. so i'm going to move that tire to the rear to try to get one fast session on tomorrow for time.

Between the incident on Saturday and then what happened today its almost like your car wants you to stop tracking it, lol. BTW, did I hear rumors of two e36 m3's in your future...
