Just curious in the 12 years you owned the car how many times did you change the diff fluid?

1. Serviced the wiper motor 2. Finally managed to get all the air out of my brake lines on the 2nd flush attempt. 3. Fitting new tires for track duty

E85 M, depending on tire sizes yes. Fronts will likely require tad camber.

Got the rare opportunity to test out the new M2 Racing. What a fantastic race car. Stating the obvious but nothing comes close to a factory race car. The car didn’t have the fastest straight line speed but it was so well composed. You couldn’t tell it was 4 cylinder turbo. No lag, no heartsick...

Had the intermittent wiper issue where it would stop mid-way. Not fun discovering the issue during a rainstorm. Inspected the wiper motor out and cleaned off the excess grease, fingers crossed. And yes managed to break 2 clips from the cowl, one of which happens to be on the far end so the cowl...

For something that could be easily detached, lost, etc CF seems silly. Plus the plastic oe ones weigh nothing.

I couldn’t be bothered trimming the sides on the 2nd iteration either 🤣 Re exit tunnels, just make sure you have really good bracing (i.e. chassis mount). Re DRL, I tried a few but it’s either one of these 2, don’t recall where I landed but if I had to guess maybe the first...

I run both 18 and 19. All else equal (e.g. same tires and overall rolling diameter), no real downside imo. Potential cons: tires are more expensive, ride might be slightly harsher, brakes may look tad undersized. Yes 19s weigh more but so do 18” tires. So the weight difference isn’t all that...

I used cheap garden edging trim. Version 1 Version 2 (extended splitter)

Thanks everyone :)

Got it…. Unless you’re getting error codes for faulty ABS, I’d bet you got air in the system and need to do a proper bleed using ISTA.

Straight swap. I should clarify the 3.73 must be from a roadster auto, coupes with auto came with a 3.64 iirc.

@D.Bryce I must’ve missed this but what’s the brake issue you’re experiencing?

Running on low (e.g., <=5mm thickness) pads will bring way MORE heat into the pistons and transfer to fluid. No ducting will help in that scenario under heavy braking corners. Better off swapping to new pads midday or dialing it back a lot and avoid any serious threshold braking imo.

Not that I had any doubts but this kit works. Did a recent track day where I was able to test the brakes ability to go deeper/further on the main straight where I typically hit 140mph+. After repeated laps, pedal remained firm. After coming home, I inspected the pads and calipers and confirmed...
