My 99' Hellrot intro

[m3f_Nate047]

Thanks dude. Doesn't feel like quick progress from where I'm sitting haha.

[m3f_westopher]

Welcome to the club.

I have owned mine for 4 years this month and it's still about 5k from being where I want it. The same as it was 4 years ago haha.

[m3f_Nate047]

I feel your pain... Projects are fun but they're never really "done," are they?

[m3f_M_Parallel]

I feel your pain... Projects are fun but they're never really "done," are they?

As it should be. The moment there really is nothing else to do anymore, is when the love ends.

[m3f_djjvr]

Wow, the car is looking great. Makes me miss my E36 quite a bit.

[m3f_Texaz3]

Nice shots!

[m3f_nholmes]

Nice man. Haven't heard of SpeedSF, I was thinking about trying to get up there to Laguna Seca sometime this year though. Honestly I am thinking I will avoid the 105db day because my car is nowhere near that loud and I don't feel the need to be on track with GT3 cars all day lol. June 17th might be perfect.

I think it's a 90db day with SpeedSF. I know the owner and staff of SpeedSF, all really good people. They mostly do NorCal tracks, but Buttonwillow is on the menu from time to time.

DAT ASSSSSSSSSSS



Some nice pics for sure

[m3f_M3Dom]

LOL



Hope I can make it up there, looks like I might be shooting something with the wife that weekend. Here's my master list for the year lol. I'm down for the count until end of May at least so I removed those.

Watkins Glen is in NY

[m3f_Double E]

Right and NJMP cannot be too far away.

Was just at Watkins Glen...laid down a 2:16.6 I'm pleased. There's more in it but that's not bad.

[m3f_Nate047]

HA that thing's tight. I like the headlight covers. More pictures?


Nothing new to report with my car, it sat for a few weeks while we were shooting a couple projects. Drove it around a bit today and yup, still like it.


Heading over to Germany next week for my 5th year at the Nürburgring 24H, so I don't expect I'll have anything to post here for a while. I'll dump some racecar porn on you guys when I can.


Going to Streets of Willow for a KW Suspensions track day on May 18th so that should be cool.

[m3f_Double E]

Pics? OK...









Road Atlanta in Feb...

[m3f_Nate047]

Does that splitter work with aluminum underpanel?

It can be made to:

I actually have a new never installed Motion Motorsports under panel that I bought without knowing that it will not fit on the GT/LTW bumper (trimmed to make room for the splitter brackets = nothing to mount the panel to) so LMK

[m3f_Nate047]

Went to Buttonwillow Tuesday because there's a fine line between "self employment" and "unemployment." But it was awesome! No gate fee on week days lol Managed to set a new PB time on CW13 of 2:07.34, so only about 3/10th faster. I'm feeling like I've hit a proverbial wall and I think I am going to look into some coaching. At this point the clear weak link is my driving; the car does exactly what a full interior, off the shelf coilover car on street tires should do. I've watched lots of video and it's not like I'm on the wrong line, but I am braking early and not staying flat in some areas where I should be. The car could *mayyybe* use a bit more front end grip, but I can probably address that with extending the splitter and going full stiff on the front bar.


TLDR ---> I'm being a *****


Regardless, was fun as hell and I am glad I'm at least consistent within a second or less on clean fast laps. California also looks pretty excellent this time of year. Had to snap a phone pic of the hooptie in track mode on the drive home.
