thats great it wasn't damaged too bad and that nobody was hurt. Looks pretty srs in the vid.

Is this the same Kyle who bought a black E46 M3 all done up from some 'shady' people a while ago? do you even know what I'm talking about...?

 

^ don't know nothing about that. he doesn't post much on his FB. this was the first post he made in a while.

 

you don't know cause you be using FB for all your news... holla at Jordan for the story, its pretty interesting (if its the same guy).

Speaking of Jordan, he just signed up as an instructor for the event. You want me to have him sit with you so he you can teach you the AWD TT line

 

In case anyone is interested, Jeff Jeske sent me a message last night saying he has a set of 255.40.17 NT01 for sale. Tires apparently has only 25 track miles on them. He's asking $500 + shipping.

 

that fool dont know the TT line cause he don't TT, he did like 2 TT last year. he best do more TT this year or imma drop kick him in da nutz

imma teach him the no ABS line, since he flat spoted his tires pretty bad at monticello. i'll also teach him the don't run into your dad's car on track line.

 

you got selective memory, foo. He did the NARRA TT with us a Monti and if I remember correctly his street tire time whooped both our times... so I think he'll be the one instructing chu!

You can instruct his pops though on the non-contact cool down lap

 

^ who's competing on street tires? only retards does TT on street tires.

 

parts buying dilemma of the day:
1. koyo 53mm stock inlet radiator $400ish
2. used CBRD 2" with straight shot inlet for $325 shipped and have to figure out how to refit the intake snorkel
3. stock?

 

Why change something you currently have no issues with?

 

get the cbrd straigt hose inlet. shouldn't be much work to get the intake snorkel to fit.

 

Did you guys get the email from TrackDaze with their 2013 schedule?

Doah in May... hopefully that event is a couple of weeks after WGI and I can do both. I would like to instruct for TD at the Doah if possible, hopefully some of you guys will want to go...

 

^ no competition, no care

 

plastic rad sketches me out in a track day situation. that and guaranteeing best cooling efficiency cant be too bad, as well as some weight off the nose.

but i have said that exact sentence to myself at least 100 times

 

Not to echo Chu, but are you having cooling issues currently?

I'm going to the doah in May and probably going to do the NJMP event in June as long as NASA doesn't have half a dozen NJMP-L event prior.

I will also be doing a VIR track day with them this year... just haven't figured out which date yet.

every DE is a competion, foo... just that the other drivers don't always know they're competiting.

I agree the plastic end tanks are a lil iffy, but on the other hand I haven't heard of them failing. I have heard of some aftermarket units causing issues on track though. Back in 09 when I lifted my head running 27 PSI my coolant temps spike into the 260* degree range, basically maxed out the OEM temp sensor, and the OEM rad held up fine. Still have it on the car now and just rolled 125k this past weekend.

Also, I believe stock is the lightest option out there, so you're not going to remove much if any weight off the front end with a bigger, thicker core and more fluid.

with that said I'm sure you can get better cooling than what the OEM rad offers, but with question is do you need it and what will the trade off be...

 

I'm down with VIR this year, we just need to coordinate when. As far as the NJMP event, I'd do it again if I was instructing. I don't see myself paying to run at Lightning except for maybe NARRA.
