Haven't updated in a while but finally made it to Thunderhilll West (2mi) on Saturday for my first 2019 trackday with more than 3 laps completed.

Haven't had this much fun in a very long time, wasn't even timing until the later sessions. This tiny 2mi track has ~10 turns and made me realize how bad I need to install the M3 steering rack though...

The car ran 5 full 20 minute sessions without skipping a beat. The car ran a low 1:25 (2nd time at this track) ____ for reference, there were some good Nasa drivers in fully race prepped E46 M3s that were fully gutted / legit aero / multi-way shocks which were in the 1:23 range ... That made me feel better 😆

Looks like these mods combined are sufficient for heat management with our N54s on track!
- 18 row tranny cooler (depending on trans)
- dual 25 row oil coolers
- Distilled water / water wetter
- Additional airflow to coolers / hood vent

Hoping to get to Laguna Seca this week for my birthday. This weekend demmmmm remind
