hahah how can you not count that pig? thats one nasty looking car. I wish my dad would do something with his car instead of just washing it everyday.
is there anymore pictures of it in action? you can pm them to me or put them here.
Does the FC have a hydroboost on it?
Hydroboost?
And no Moses was working the event and didn’t really get a chance to run the car this weekend. Hopefully he’ll be tearing it up in July.
Power brakes assisted by the power steering pump (Im guessing from the lack of a traditional brake booster in the pics)
Looks like an awesome time.
Dan
^yeah
IIRC it’s just manual brakes.
MPD, no where to be seen
no love for De Turk
Yeah, B group gets no love. Hopefully I’ll move up in a few events.
Another vid from me
Same run as the previous just unedited.
the PT vinyl cracks me up every time I see it

That vid is top notch

And some more photos from my buddy Ryan @ TunerIcons
So yeah, when doing an event I always figure out my expenses/what it took to get me there. Spent two days at Innovative (thanks guys!) getting the car ready, took a nap, left my house for ClubLoose’s East Coast Bash 3 at 2am (got there at 8am), many hardships :roflpicard:, etc. So yeah, got down to Englishtown and got promoted to “A” group which means you run the full course, you do tandems, 5 car trains, the whole 9 yards. I was pretty pumped for it.
So we went out for our first run and did one set of solo runs to get fresh and then head out for tandems. I unfortunately was running a bit to much tire pressure (48psi cold) in the rears in an attempt to allow me to use 3rd gear a bit more. It did… but I also completely destroyed a set of pilot sports (245/40/18) in one lap and a few corners and had to run back in for more tires.
After that we started doing tandems. Other than screwing around in the snow in my old e30’s I have never done any tandem sliding so I started in a “follow, just don’t hit shit” role. I started out by following two guys in S13’s who were pretty damn good. My lack of ebrake allowed them to really kill me into the first corner but by the end of the lap I was starting to close up on them nicely.
Following two guys who are good is pretty interesting, you drive based on the timing that you think you remember and spend a ton of time letting the car neutral slide or left foot brake while staying on the power. You also tend to look through their smoke to try and see where they are apexing so you can drive basically blind to that point and then search for more reference points. Honestly it was one hell of a challenge and I REALLY enjoyed it.
So we did some more tandem laps and I was starting to close up on people I felt comfortable driving with fairly nicely.
On my last lap of my first session though, I came through the sweeper after the banking (3rd/4th gear corner depending on your car, I take it near the limiter in 3rd) and dirt dropped pretty hard. Didn’t feel anything wrong, initiated the next corner and felt something wrong. I THOUGHT I had just lost a tire but didn’t hear anything grinding so thought it might’ve been just sitting on the bead with no air. I limped the car back towards the wall since Group A was done and watched the driver’s faces in B group looking at the car. Still, even watching reactions I thought it was just a tire… Not so much.
Slight damage to one of my wheels, broken camber link, broken lateral link, slightly bent sway bar drop link. :banghead: That was 6 laps in, on my first session, after spending two days not sleeping getting the car together. :picard:
Oh well, shit happens. Bing is setting me up with some camber arms to test for him and I purchased spares of the lat links so this WILL NOT happen again. Next event is August 8th at Etown and then I’ll be doing the DMCC ProAM @ Downsview Park in Toronto.

Sadly, no video this time as I usually don’t turn the camera on for my first run group. Allows me to concentrate on driving and getting smooth rather than dicking with electronics.
I say the second most expensive, because I think some people here remember the built gearbox on the Porsche letting go after 3 corners at Dunnville one time… that was… fun? :mamoru:
wow, what wheels are on the m5?
Looks fucking sweet. Sucks about the links. Tell bing to sponsor you some.
the Project mu brakes on the 350 are insane!
Yeah, that car with the Project Mu stuff was very very clean. He and I tandem’d but we both spun, so it looked like shit 
On PT’s car? Cargraphics, IIRC one of 4 sets in the country for an e39.
MMMMMMM RED FC3S
ban for gigantic ass pic.
Looks like a cool time. Are front clips optional at blown euros?
