Fighting for second place is already hard enough without throwing that monster in the mix.

c'mon, 1 turbo or 2, it's just 300hp...you can take him.

Seriously, autocross isn't about horsepower.

Yes, the 135i is twin turbo 6 with 300hp and yes it's in H.

Will be going from 245/45/17 & 275/40/18 to 295/40/17 & 315/35/18. Can't freakin' wait to see how those hook. Now if my senses can handle it and react quickly enough. Watch out Tim...I'm gunning for you this weekend.

Jeepers...I make due with a set of tiny 275 street driven Nittos... I would imagine you will have a couple of tenths on me if not half a second at SPC especially if you take into account all the sponsor stickers you've got!



Drew: Looks like a nice course layout-cool!

LMAO. Just hope these used kumhos still have some good life in them. I'm afraid I'm going to get addicted to them too which will probably be bad for the ole wallet, but I guess they'll prolong my street tires. Yellow_Colorz_PDT_02

I just realized that I raced these guys in H class back in November. It looks like Jacob beat me by two tenths and I beat Stephen by one tenth. So it was pretty good competition. I guess I better bring my 'A Game'.

Oh...November was before I installed my upgrades (exhaust, shocks, flywheel, clutch). It is on!

Bring it 135i brothers! Yellow_Colorz_PDT_02

All right, do I have a problem when days before the event I'm dreaming of the course layout and can already picture driving it? :shock: That last switchback was tuff.

I set the course up on my computer racing simulator and have been doing laps all week.

Just kidding... maybe.

Oh snap. That iRacing? If they had it for the mac, I'd be all over it!

Star Specs are ON!

I'm starting to get itchy. . .

It's Live for Speed. I haven't played in a long time, since my logitech pedals broke.

Normally I'd say don't be afraid, as I just spin. and spin. and spin. But with this new surface at SPC, I can't wait to put some of that power down

Shhhh...don't tell him he's driving it backwards....

Nah, Jamie, that's me...


Hey - if anyone would like to download the registration and liability forms for SPC, here they are:
SPC Registration form

SPC Liability waiver

If you do, please print them back to back on one page. Saves paper, and easier to keep track of at registration.

Well Tim, looks like you'll be safe from me for another month. With a 40% chance of rain, I can't chance running on the kumhos. And without a way of getting them there just incase it's clear...I can't risk running them this month. Time to get a hitch and start looking for a used tire trailer... :shock:

they make a cream for that...

I'll be there. It looks like the clutch is holding in 2nd gear as long as I don't let the full boost hit, so I will probably try a few runs. Maybe I can run it all in 1st? Maybe I'll just take Bill up on his offer to drive the S2k instead. Yellow_Colorz_PDT_01

A new clutch isn't gonna be cheap but it'll definitely be correctly spec'd for my output.

Offer is still open. The S2k is running real smooth and seems to have more throttle response since I switched gas brands a few months back.

All my vehicles seem to like Chevron. Even the generator in the RV which had a gummed up carb is almost clear again! Must be the added Tecron.

What is this "throttle response" you speak of? I swear you guys are just making stuff up.
