More 135 Track Photos

asv · 05-02-2008, 10:45 PM

Some of you might remember the track photo thread from earlier this week. The CD with my additional track photos arrived in the mail today. All the full photos are available in this full rez gallery.

Here are some of my favorites.

Thanks for the pics, the gallery was awesome. At my local track they rely on traditional whitewash on the window, an easy to remove sticker would be a tad handier to deal with.

jeremyc74 · 05-02-2008, 11:00 PM

Nice shots.

The little beast looks down right mean when it's squatted in the turns, and the back tires really look large for a car this size.

Bizall · 05-02-2008, 11:14 PM

Nice pics, very nice. I can't wait to get out there myself.

Disasterpiece · 05-02-2008, 11:18 PM

Wow! Awesome pics! The car looks great put there. 135 seems right at home on the track.

jeremyc74 · 05-02-2008, 11:19 PM

Does this car still have the factory suspension, or have you lowered it already? What about tire sizes?

NovaBimmer · 05-02-2008, 11:48 PM

holy crap, is that a ford taurus in the back?

topvega · 05-02-2008, 11:56 PM

Seeing these pics just makes me love SGM even more... The number one compliment I have gotten on my car is the color... Car looks bad ass on the track... how anybody says this car is ugly I don't know... I love the body design.. nice pics

There was a group of great guys with heavily modded SHO's there. That Taurus was pretty quick.

Very nice. I can't wait to get on a track one day myself.

aesthetect · 05-05-2008, 03:34 AM

awesome, probably my favorite 135i picture to date!

smarm · 05-05-2008, 05:35 AM

Interesting track

Lots of trees but no armco barriers!

Awesome shot above this post though!

chef_geek · 05-05-2008, 06:08 AM

Looks like a stiffer suspension would help take those turns faster! Nice pics!

Haha! Same reaction I had.

Sorry for the dumb question, but what's with the blue tape on the headlights and such?

atr_hugo · 05-05-2008, 06:47 AM

The last thing you want on the track is busted 'glass' - and since a lot of drivers get eager clipping apexes, rocks have been know to be thrown back towards other vehicles. (In fact their was one grand prix driver (at least ; -) that was quite proficient at chucking rocks back at challengers.)

The m3 has the blue tape because he doesnt want rock chips, notice its on his rear fenders also, he prolly has a clear bra in the front..

I tape up everytime i go back down to S.FL, but this weekend im getting the clear bra for my new VCSL front bumper..

Hows the 135i performing out there with the M cars?

I had no problem passing e46 m3's, but I was in the beginner group. It would be interesting to see how it faired against the m3 with equal drivers, not I'm Kimi.. yet
