E46 was handful though. Heel-toe and match revs was no easy task. The one thing I like alot with my E90, is that I can trail brake alot. When your heel-toeing, it was hard for me to trail brake. The E46 is more responsive than the E90.

First track event was in 2000 at Las Vegas Speedway. My car was bone stock. Since that day hooked on tracking.

Thats awesome. Very rare to see someone head out to a track with a bone stock car. Most love to mod and try to correct things before they even need to.

i'm 20 haha

for some reason, i had though you were in your late 20's

that is an exciting life imo!

SpecC · 10-10-2008, 02:36 AM

right now, i can only wish that i have the time and money to invest in a track machine

when i do get an STI though, i'm going straight to the track!

LOLrance · 10-10-2008, 02:36 AM

i need to find a reputable shop to weld my stock section 1 pipes back in before we go to Fontana though.

There's a new track one hour away from Las Vegas. Harold from HPautowerks said its a pretty cool track. Make a weekend out of it.

Purple All Sectors · 10-10-2008, 02:42 AM

why did you take off in the first place? More HP? And why before Fontana? Too loud?

Well, i got sponsorship from RR since my car was going to be in a video feature for SEMA and part of the video was to dyno the car. So they wanted to see how it would do.

It sounds amazing actually, like stock but 10x louder. The only drawback is i get this stupid rattling like a clamp is loose or something everytime i start to push it. Long told me its this exhaust mount thing that holds the 2 pipes together, but since i got aftermarket pipes, they are bigger then stock so the mount gets loose and rattles when pushed. The rattle will go away once i remove the mount but im just sick of dealing with the rattle, not to mention once the dealership sees you dont have cats, they will refuse to work on your car and deny your warranty
