swap them out man! 17s? 18s? In any case they're much cheaper to replace than 19s lol. Get like Hankook RS3s or something. Cheap and has spectacular performance.

19s lol

Issue is no one (me included) can find me a suitable 18in setup without me needing to change the camber/alignment.... the car is a DD 99% of the time so I don't want to alter stock camber and destroy the stock tires

RS3s are wide so I'd need more camber

Hey Sean, wadaya mean you don't see many Z4's on the track, I'm out there all the time with mine and you've seen me. I see you out there all the time just hanging out, but I've never actually seen you drive for some reason.

That's a great price for LS! I've never been to any of the Nor Cal tracks and would love to drive them one of these day.

I'm in different cars all the time :P.

If it's SOW, I hang out more than drive. Big Willow is "my" track lol. and I love button


I meant Z4s compared to E36/46/9X. There's like 3-5 cars max each time. while there's at least like 10 3 series.

180 for LS is CHEAP but it's too farrrr lol.

Maybe I'll make a week trip and stay in SF for a couple days. hmmm

DO EEEEEEET! No pressure or anything though

Just stay somewhere in Monterey. The pier is nice, with plenty of food choices. You could also visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium if they're open. That's always fun

Dang, Colat is fast! Try as I might, I could not catch up to you
And the black S2K was fast too, although it seemed like you were pulling away from him as well

I don't think Persian was there today?

I only ran a personal best of 2:11. I didn't stick around to check out the timesheets for my last couple of runs, but I doubt it was much better. Buttonwillow is pretty fun! A bit bumpy, but technical and fun. Too bad it's so far away from me

Ohhh I see. You didn't say hi to me
I think Colat did, and L4ZY as well. Can't remember. Long, hot, unbelievably tiring day (as I had to drive back to NorCal right afterwards)
