That's why I'm not going to do my IM. I'm worried that halfway through I'll hate it and not want to finish.

That's awesome, congrats! Post some videos, what tires are you running? Keep us updated :thumb:

Mercer

Took it to the track this weekend, ran 13.8 at 108 mph, thats only 8psi of boost on street tires, for the next event i will have slicks and alot more boost aswell, but overall im pretty happy with the results considering its my first time ever racing.. better numbers in the future

Si Speed 317
07-23-2012, 11:34 PM
Nice! At that same boost level with slicks, I'd say you'll hit mid 12's with power-to-weight ratio in mind. If you want any input on slick psi, tips on launch, anything - post up. Tons of gurus on here. :thumb: Can't wait for the next run at the track!

Mercer
07-24-2012, 05:27 PM
I will for sure, August 31- September 2 is the next sport compact race event near me, i will have slicks and be up to 16psi for that for sure, on the hunt for 11's :pray:

Looks SUPER clean man, congratulations! Almost exactly how I would want to do mine. :highfive:

Mercer

Thanks! I have an OEM lip that needs to be painted to put on it, will give the front end a little more character but i am overly impressed with how it turned out :thumb:

Si Speed 317
07-27-2012, 11:49 AM
That would look great! OEM lip kit is always best :thumb: You make me want to run purple lugs instead of black, it's such a hard decision!

Mercer
07-27-2012, 05:15 PM
You have purple accents you might as well get purple lugs while your at it ;)

I have a red Wilwood BBK to go in this week, so I may just leave the lugs titanium color, or PC em black. Idk yet. Too much ish going on in my head to get this car show ready.

Your car is down, so take em off and get em powdercoated. Or ban. :giggle:

What offset are you running? You might be able to pull off the TL-S Brembo upgrade for cheap if you piece it out.

Mercer
07-31-2012, 04:15 PM
16x8 +20 offset with 5mm spacers in front

Me too! I bragged to by buddy that I went with about the power I put down, and with my radials I would have such a sick warm up run. He told me his 335i does 12.9's all day but makes less power and weighs more, so I had to show him what's up. First time ever at the track for me, he's very experienced. He said he'll try to launch his (it's rwd) and I'll launch mine. We do the burnout, we line up, light goes to the last yellow, we both launch, no red lights, we're good! And I won!! I was ready as ever to see my time slip, like a dog waiting to go out for a walk. Got my time slip - 14.8 @ 99mph.

Turns out I spun all through first and a bit in second because I had 25psi in my radials, and I was heat soaking like a mofo. IAT's were 125*, I was putting down ~240whp. He just spun because he launched. Lol

Oh yea, every time I race someone on the street it's the same thing. I get the adrenaline shakes. That's why we love speed and competition!

LMAO that might've been Spaz, he does that every track day. :rotfl: :jelly:
