Like everyone else said, please do something about the front plate...I'm still trying to wonder why you placed it there and the only reason I could come up with is that maybe you do not want to drill holes on the front side of your carbon fiber bumper?
Also, are your front wheels wider than the rears? Either it's an illusion or are your front wheels more concave than your rears? I'm having a hard time adjusting to that. |

Offset issue is my guess.

Wheel Sizes
The wheels are indeed reverse concave - meaning the fronts have more concavity than the rears - but the tires are the exact same size - a few cars need this since there is no room for tires in the front - 135i, GTR, etc.
I am running 18" x 9.5" wheels all around - ET 62 offset rear - ET 35 offset front I have tried two tire sizes - 275/35r18 and 265/35r18 - the 275's rub in the Carousel at Summit Point so I only run the 265's there - but it is a very close tolerance - when i say rub i mean against the fuel filler neck - my rear fenders are rolled so much it is completely visible from the outside of the car Let me know if you have any questions - the front plate was on there because ambient temps were 50F, it was pouring rain so I did not have a chance to cut off the zip ties on the front plate - but I was also having blowby issues with my brake master cylinder - so I was running at 5/10ths I am a knowledgeable car person as you can see by this build - all done in my garage myself - so i understand the importance of intercooling Anthony |

nicely done. Have you done a weight balancing on the car yet? seems like you've lost a lot of weight on the front end with all the carbon fibre. any idea how much weight you've stripped from the car in total?

Anthony is a nice guy and he's got one mean track toy. Saw the car up close when he came down to summit point but I must say wasn't crazy with the fit and finish on the add on pieces. Car looks sick in pics though

Final Event of the Season @ VIR
Here are some shots of my final event of the season @ VIR
VIR with the Audi club - I am running in the instructor run group - I had the slowest car bar none - look at the E46 m3 race car and two R8's What an awesome HP track - fast and I hit 145 mph with a stock 135i in the back straight - simply amazing Now its time to ski - return to the track in April |
