Holy crap! Nice spot. Thanks for the shots. Were you on your way to Englishtown? Driving that car is so nerve racking. I lost one sideskirt to NJ and was determined not to loose another. I need stiffer springs up front.
As you can see the car is on the road. Drove it up to Englistown but didn't drive ECB. Instead I ate pancakes and watched F1 at my friends house. Painted the hood vent temporarily so it doesnt stick out. The engine runs great but the suspension needs a lot of attention. LCA bushings are done. Alignment needs to happen after that too. The wing makes a massive difference. I still need to add the diffuser. Might be too much downforce then.
Ruiz promises to get this thing on the road this summer so we can whistle at biddies.
On the way back from a wedding on Sunday night I smashed into a raised manhole cover. Impossible to see. Construction area with no signs. Glad this was the only damage. I may try a different lip. This is the 3rd one I've been through and my 4th or 5th bumper. Ive lost count.
Memorial day I met up with a friend to get something from him. We ended up doing a tiny bit of streeting.
Somehow ended up in FDR watching these guys.
Some werk.
I've been rolling paint colors around in my head. I really wanted to do a dark purple like Jonathan Prem has, but I may do a metalic flake black. Im not sure. Purple and red wheels might not look right but it may look amaze boolz. All I know is all the hard work Ive put in will not show until this thing is painted so that is my next big goal.

I took the M3 to Lightening at NJMP with a friend. They tried to fail me @tech for the stretched tires with the letters rubbed off, and being too low. But I jacked up the rear and they let me on. Car is faster than I give it credit for. Fun day. But before that I had to do brakes on both and bushings on the SC.
Ball joints were fine so I left the arms on the car.

Took a break to do a temp fix on my bumper.

One of the tires didn't bead and leaked out so I had to get it remounted and new tires for the back.

The owner Collins daily.
Lightening is much faster than it looks. Fun elevation changes and hard braking. Great time. The instructors were very friendly except one dude who absolutely hated my car and wasnt afraid to let me know. Out of all the HPDE's I've done this was probably the best group. Although there was lots of slow moving traffic.
I lost a sideskirt on the drive up. That's two sideskirts lost to NJ.
Riding shotty in my friend Yao's Z4M. This thing is a rocket and Yao is an excellent driver.

The next weekend was SC airtime. I drove it to work for a week to make sure all was ok.
Rich Whitebro's beast behind me.
Even when I spin I make no smoke. Hat's off to Richman for not t-boning me.
If you don't get this, go one yourself.
And then...
I crashed.
