Got some photos from the last track day.

Decided to try to start doing time trials in my car. So I’ll slowly be doing all the bushings and some new arms as well.

The clubsports are being rebuilt so the car so should feel great after that.

With the nasa tt3 record at homestead only being 2 seconds faster then what I’m currently running why not give it a shot. It’ll mainly be for the experience.

Note to people buying parts from people on these forums. Never trusting someone again.




Signed up for a night event at sebring! Can’t wait to see how these coils really feel.

Installed kmp diff bushing and new motor mounts.

If anyone is interested in rebuilt kw clubsports 3 way. I’m putting them for sale. I need to run 2 way.

Have all receipts of rebuild.


And here’s my last track day at sebring. Most fun and scary track experience I’ve had. The go pro made the track
Look brighter then what it really is. You literralty can’t see the upcoming apex or turns. Wild experience.



Managed to PB as well

Finally got a set of daily wheels for this car to stop streeting my track tires.

Have road atlanta signed up for Feb 17th. First time heading there.

Going to drive 700 miles from Miami to Georgia and make this a road trip in the F80.

Only changes to the car will be a fresh set of 295/35 re71rs and switching to endless brake fluid for science.

Manage to run a 1:41 first time at road atlanta. I under estimated how steep the elevation changes were and blind crests. Can’t wait to come out there again.

Installed some goodies on my car. GT4 canards, and ap racing bbk. Manage to snag first place at my local track at a FARA time attack series.

Ap racing brakes are insane. Had to learn the car again and still managed to
PB.

Yes. Definitely curious to hear what makes the MCS setup custom on a typical f80. Is it custom spring rates and a rear divorced vs. rear coilover? Gtmore front eye strut and BW offset camber plates? Which MCS damper is used in this custom setup?

I also have an AP Brake kit. I have been using Fedoro DS3.12 which I find wear faster than my stock setup with Pagid RSL29. What pads are you running?

Sebring event this past memorial weekend. Shaking down the car. Didn’t have a chance to dial in the suspension yet but I managed to PB with a 2:26 with scrubs and 100 degree weather. Car has so much more time in it once I dial things in and grow some balls.

https://youtube.com/shorts/D0QeoocSg...mSFP9nwC4dnvnM

After my second session my cars oil would sit at 250 degrees. The weather cooled down a bit and after 5 turns my oil would shoot up to 250. I can feel the influx on heat from the engine going into the cabin. Not sure if something is failing in my car. Or it’s just the heat outside.

Basically yes. True rear coilover. The kit was built by RWE in California.

Great thread Jlaflo

I might have missed it somewhere,... Do you know what your spring rates are front and rear?
