tires and wheels Is It Christmas?

[gliding_serpent2]

the last weekend of August is my third BMW HPD weekend, hopefully the first with the Tii.

Today is a good day because at the post office is the following... I can't wait to get it tomorrow over my lunch break.

- IE tii strut bar and fixed camber plates.

- Esty carpets

- e30 6x14 bottlecaps (used)

- At my door today was a new set of 195/60/14 falken 615k's for the bottlecaps.

- In town I have a set of 185/60/13 R888's to get. (got at cost as they damaged one of my coker xas)

- just bought a set of used 13x6 et33 VW alloys for the R888's. Shipping today from Canada.

- just ordered some 4.5mm wheel spacers, just in case.

- just ordered potterfield R4-S front pads and rear brake shoes. Crossing my fingers customs does not hold them up.

- various odds and ends from blunt already arrived quickly and without fuss as usual. God bless Blunt.

- BMW has my new passengers side seat belt in... but oddly we are waiting for the driver side (makes no sense as both ordered at the same time). Without this, no track w/e in the tii.

Anyway, here is to hoping that all the stars align and I get to take the Tii to the track at the end of the month.

Don't fret too much.  It's all about having fun!  Once you get your car out onto the track and start learning a "line", you will really enjoy it.

 

No frills, no electronic doo-dads. Just you and your car.  

 

When's the last time you flushed your brake fluid??   Own a "legal" helmet?  Some HPDE/PDX events will not let you wear short pants...

This will be my 3rd track w/e with bmw, and i also spent a day getting my lapping license outside bmw... But it was all in my 328. If the tii is not ready for this w/e, i will do a lapping day with it in early sept.

Fluid flushed in may. Pads 2 years old with minimal use (3k). Bmw requires an inspection including fluid flush 30 days before the track weekend. I have some oem bmw dot4 ready as per cd's advice and new stainless brake lines from blunt.

I use a bell sport mag.

LOL....we were reminded of this the hard way....if you look at my last track video there is a passenger in the right seat listening to ZZTop.  on track...passenger gone.....that would have been jim.  right before going on track we got called out.  we both spaced on the shorts rule.

 

you have a busy weekend coming up with prep work GS!
