IF they have track insurance, get it. If it's an SCCA Track Night they should have something through Hagerty

I plan on it. It's a 'Track Night'  event, I'll get pictures if I can. I'm planning on changing the brake fluid prior to the event, and I a new helmet and all that jazz. I'll be running Sport mode first, and then move to DSC off when (if) I feel more comfortable.

Your car has intermediate "DTC" mode for the stability control. I recommend staying at that level until you are truly at ease.

To fully disable DSC you need to hold the button for several seconds.

He then went into shock and bought a Kia Optima in a fugue state. That part of the story cured me from wanting to track my DD.

Ha ha. But track day accidents are really quite rare in my experience. (Knocks on wood)

I am on a plane to Mexico City to take the GT4 tomorrow to a TD. It's been a while since I went six months or more.

Thank you. I like them, but they aren't wide enough. The plan is to upgrade to Apex FL5s (or at least have them as track wheels)





Man I want FL-5s for my car.  Congrats!

Maaaaannnnnn - I love this car and I don't all at the same time. Interior quality is a step down from my E92, the headliner fell despite it being in my garage, and the screen is delaminating.

But it's fast.

The Motor isn't as smooth as the N52

But it's fast.

The wheel offsets are goofy and make it difficult to fit wide wheels.

But it's fast.

How do I add pictures?
This was in March




378WHP SAE in the "comfort" map instead of "sport"

I went back again for a dyno tune - larger diameter exhaust, Cam "lifters" Race intercooler, Front Mount intake - and my injector failed.  Herp derp.
