Should we try to get a meet in before the end of the month? Weekend of June 22-23 or 29-30?

Once it gets delivered it should be installed and corner balanced in a week or two depending on how busy the shop is. I ping Barry every few weeks. I am not in a huge rush or I would not have waited this long. I expected it to be installed in May so I am roughly a month behind schedule. I am very excited for it as I have never owned a fancy suspension before. I think most people on this platform spend all the money to go fast in a straight line and very little on the other bits which are equally important.
I don't want to turn the boost up any more until I can safely put the power down. The car feels all flighty and dangerous when it really gets going in 3rd. So basically, I am done tuning until the suspension goes in. Which means I can't get a dyno and see what I am making. My goal is north of 600.

I went with KW V2s. I didn’t realize how fucked my stock suspension was until I put these in. Massive improvement in handling and I haven’t done any cornering yet, need to get these knock sensor fixed and get an alignment first. Haven’t decided on corner balancing yet. |

I may just get an alignment and be done with it. Even if I did track the car a good deal I would bet my lack of skill is more important then the car being perfectly corner balanced.

Yeah that is exactly my point. A lot of money and I doubt my car corner balanced is going to make a lick of difference on the track with me behind the wheel. I'm 90% sure I am just going with an alignment at this point.

I thought you might like to see my Ohlins struts in the process of being revalved. Here is the strut tube being run on the shock dyno.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E21..._DcCLvbop/view Barry takes apart the Vorshlag kit, upgrades some of the hardware, assembles with Loctite 222. Even the dust boots get MIL SPEC cable ties. Looking to be a very well set up suspension I think. I'll get more pics up soon etc. Should be installed by the end of July so I can turn up the boost more! Just bought an N54 head for $350. Might have it fully worked and throw in some high lift cams over the winter. Be fun to rev out to 8200. Another 1000rpms should make a large difference + it can breath much easier aka top end gains all over the place. [IMG]https://bmw.***********.com/attachments/20190620_104621-jpg.27939/[/IMG]

After seeing the new Supra I knew I needed to add some non-functional door vents:
I was driving on the highway and a truck kicked up a large piece of metal debris and sent it right at me, unavoidable. 3 feet higher and it would have been coming through the window, so got to be thankful there. Going through insurance, there was damage to my front bumper as well.

Yikes. That's tough. Could've been worse though, right?
Once had to avoid a flying sheet of plywood at 80mph. Took a slight scratch on my side skirt, compared to the G37 behind me which lost its front bumper. |

Finally got my car back, she looks better than she was before! Shop took good care of me, interior was detailed and they even pulled the few small dings I had around the car.
Shop was 382 Collision on the Pawtucket/Providence line, highly recommend. Would post pictures but I don't have any yet because it's raining.
