    I love your last video - the music and the feel-good factor of sharing the event with your wife is awesome (I've shared it on my FB ).

    Can I ask a couple of questions - have you switched from an intercooler to a charge-cooler?

    What size and make slicks do you run and what size and offset are the wheels?

      It was the feel good factor of a Nürburg trip I was trying to show in that video, so seems like I did something right

      Yes, I changed to a charge-cooler setup last year. Got a package deal with simpson on the built engine and a old ESS supercharger kit, so I sold the supercharger kit I had and use the old one on my car.
      Works very well this kit also.

      I have 9,5" ET 35 Apex wheels with 15 mm spacers in the front and 10" ET 25 without spacers in the rear.

      Run 265/64-18 Pirelli slicks front and 27/65-18 Michelin slicks in the rear.

        Loving that lap, what a buzz that must have been. Have you had much tuition or just lots of practice on your own?

        My favourite bit was when you passed the Porsche just after Flugplatz, the speed difference must have looked genuinely insane from his point of view:smokin:

          Thanks mate! Glad you liked it.

          No I haven't had any tuition, don't feel I had that much practice either. Been to a little over twenty trackdays now and participated in 6 raceweekends. Feel like my driving are getting better and better, but there's still alot to learn and experience...

                          They say it takes 50 laps to learn your way round and then each lap after that is honing and getting braver with corner speeds. I would say 20 trackdays and 6 race weekends must put you somewhere around 500-750 laps?

                          I had a Huracan pass me on laptime-setting pace while I was driving a diesel Discovery Sport. I think I know how that Porsche felt. :hahaha:

                          Hopefully we'll meet at one of these trackdays at some point in the future, I really need some more laps under my belt, for various annoying reasons I've not been on track there for just over a year now.

                            Oh you where talking about at the ring... I thought you ment total track experience. I've been to four trackdays at the ring now. Done about 80-90 laps total.

                            Yes, would be cool to meet some more forum members down there. :beer:

                              I think I touched the curb on the inside going over the crest cause the front left corner got a little kick and wouldn't come down as it usually does. When it did, the car was pointing towards the rack so I had to do a little adjustment, but it sorted it self out mostly. Gave a nice little kick though...
