I keep missing out on these events. Last year I had the M3, which needed a complete engine rebuild, this year my 330i had a coil go bad. I guess it’s not meant to be for me. ---

But explain to me how your car was .3 seconds slower than a fully caged evo on Omlins and Rcomps with 375awhp, and a very skilled driver behind the wheel? Its because S2K’s are better on the smaller and tighter tracks. I’ll get faster and better the more I do it. My times dropped and dropped all day saturday. And with better suspension components they will drop further. If you upgraded your suspension, your car would handle better too and your times would drop as well. Your car is just better in stock form than mine for this stuff. Plus youre a better driver. There is no question. ---

You’ll never get it. I don’t want to run faster only because of parts that I paid for. I want to drop times by improving myself as a driver.

There is no question. Wait a tick… You mean to tell me that as you gain experience, and the temperatures rise outside (allowing for more traction), your times will drop? That’s just blasphemy! New “upgraded” suspension does not equal better suspension. You’re a noob and like to think that though. There’s much more to “better handling” than bolting something on the car. When’s the next Edinburgh event? As long as there’s no conflicting events, I need to go see this idiocy. ---
