Got an official answer from GC - the adjustment bolts should be torqued to 15 ft/lbs

Auto-X’d yesterday - was an absolute blast and an awesome way to feel out the limit and intentionally send the car over the limit. Spent the first half of the day working on lines and speed and riding the limit, second half going over the limit and power over steering, drifitng, and working on corrective inputs. Must have gotten at least 30 laps in

Agreed, great way to safely develop car control and limit expense as well. In my experience, the dedicated autocross guys who cross over to track days are usually quick, find time in technical track areas. Perfect way to get started in the hobby. it's how I'll start my son in a couple of years for sure.

I can't stop thinking about that E90 now... after driving it the way I did over the weekend the experience is seared into my brain. It was just so damn enjoyable and such a perfect compliment to F8X after doing the back to back thing. My eyes are definitely now peeled for a cheaper/trackable E92 in the next few years when, hopefully, prices come down from crazy-town

As for various M performance driving experiences sticking with you, E9X isn't the only problem. Don't make the mistake of driving a track-prepped, lightened E36 (or E46). You'll end up needing one of those as well. Gratuitous E90 power oversteer shot. That car coming out of a 2nd gear hairpin and sliding onto an exit curbing... That's a wrap, doesn't get any better imo.

A tank slapper is when the car over steers one direction and then over rotates to the other side in a slide, sometimes from lifting off throttle. Not a good thing.
A car chassis with good stiffness will allow a car to oversteer and then slide back into track with the correct amount of power.

Had my first hot track day at ECR yesterday, was about 95 degrees. Car felt great other than boiling my brake fluid earlier in the day running GTS MDM. Turned off traction control and was able to keep my brakes cool the rest of the sessions until pitting. But the car also felt more natural! I didn't have any unwanted braking/cut in power I was sometimes getting with MDM. Started tracking the car last year and am feeling more comfortable so will probably run with traction off unless it's a wet day.
Going to flush my fluid before the next event since it's still going to be hot, am using RBF 600 now will probably go with the same with the expectation to flush mid-year. Some cool pics I took

MDM/etc will overheat brakes and generally create a false sense of security. As an instructor, I encourage my students to disable it early on in their learning process. It is a lot easier to catch mistakes early on than have to correct it once the student is faster. Basic good habits like unwinding the steering wheel as you go WOT are really important, but running with DSC on can completely mask mistakes and make you feel like going WOT while pinching the wheel is a valid technique.

And great point.. When I first started I felt like I was kind of throwing the car like a brute and letting MDM catch me. I have about 6 track days since starting in October and my focus has been primarily around finesse and good lines. With everything off the car communicates well and the feeling when you just get it right through a turn is addicting!
