What are you complaining about, that M3 only has like ~400hp, better brakes and is easier to drive than your car. You should kick his ass!


I don't feel like changing out wheels, how about everyone show up on street tires?

Are you instructing me? I'll be there in group 1. Looking forward to it but damn it's been an eternity since my last event (May).

Installed the gendron bar last night. Still need to set the pre-load and I'm not quite sure I understand how, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

I may need to tap into some of the track experts tomorrow morning. I finished up all my track prep today and took the car for a test drive. When I let off the brakes I sometimes get a weird noise coming from the back. Unsure on how to explain the noise and it doesn't happen all the time. Doesn't seem to matter if I'm pressing hard or light on the brakes.

I took the brakes apart and everything looks seated properly and in the correct position. I rebled the brakes and did get a little air out of the system. I'm going to head out earlier than expected so I have extra time to troubleshoot tomorrow. I'll probably be there around 6:30.

hey,
I wanted to know what the volume is that I need to replace for brake fluid? And also for the clutch fluid? I want to know how much I should buy before I drain all the fluids?

Sounds like you may need to grease the caliper pins, or a caliper is sticking. It could be many things though and I am sure someone can help you there.

You should be good for a complete flush with a large can of fluid. The clutch only needs a couple ounces (suck the old fluid out of the reservoir then fill with new fluid and bleed).
