btw, BMW are equipped with long final drive for low rpm highway cruising... a shorter final drive would be more suited for track runs. but would u take the trouble to swap in and out the rear differential???
 
Small mattet Daniel. We'll be out there again come Nov. My top speed after turn 15 is no more than 170 also. Next time I will ditch the AS2. After 5 laps can feel it losing grip. The RE050 on my little CRZ was happy lap after screeching lap.

I drove with stability control off but at corners you see the light blinking. Does that mean its kicking in? I wonder.
 
The amount of pitted rubber threads from those racing slick is all over the track. My tyres look exactly like what tribena shown. There so much debris I got few of them stick on my wheel valve per the pic. Plenty of "rubber skid" mark on my bonnet from these flying debris.

Need to uprate my arb n brakes before attempting below 3m.
 
Its not crack, its the thread pattern but look like crack coz some of those rubber got deposited in between...right after the track run that crack was fully covered by the rubber debris...

Brother XXX....if that's the case, he has to pull in the next time he passes the pit lane entry......which would mean no fastest lap attempt! Nevermind, its not my trackday but just sharing knowledge.... :)

yes we went in after that...morever the redlight was not bcos of incident it was to show that our 1hr session has ended.
 
Thank you very much for the very valuable knowledge...

I went an extra lap when the red flag was out. Hahaha ... Somehow my mind went into YELLOW flag mode. Now I know!
 
Finally back in Penang again! This is a great and valuable experience for all.

I had my ASC turned on at the track and it interfered a few times by cutting off power. Without ASC and my high diff ratio the car would surely spin crazily. Even with ASC turned on I managed to drive off track :eek:

T2 is correct that it was an attempt to run away from the M5, how can a 4 pot goes against a v10?!

I only have 7 pictures for this, as tIANcI said, we are too excited to drive.. also turned off the carputer for no good reason (turning off the aircon make sense) so no onboard video too.

Cheers

Aidilj, why you burden your 4-potter with such a big wheel la.. :4:

Bro AB, I didn't, the previous owner did, furthermore they're actually for E60.. :burnout:
 
Daniel ... see you came late of not we have an E30-E90/92 set of cars for pics! Aaarrggghhh ...

aidilj ... terror gravel blasting la. The edge of my rear left rims kena also, I pun ada masukgravel trap sikit. Need to check on her, maybe can touch up. If not need to powder coat again la. Sad only.
 
Comeeee we go again......RM 300 is still cheaper than a 2 hour happy massage. So much adrenaline pumping. : ) Tianci, can TT anytime for photo taking session. i still cannot get over the feeling of the rear fishing out each time i floor too early before exiting a sharper corner. Car still not washed and tyres are full of black bubble gum sticking to it. Surprisingly the front road tyres wears off faster than the rear semi slicks. Both falken. Love it love it, i got the bug.
