looks good, I see that you found a solution to the bilsteins vs camber plates.

Had some great fun at the Ring on Monday. It was wet and raining all day, but it was very quiet. I took it rather slowly, to get used to the new suspension setup, and to feel what the car was doing. It did great actually. No *ss shaking when going over bumps in the wet, no weird noises, NO TYRE RUBBING, quite a lot of grip on the rear wheels in the wet.

13 laps, 2 Brathwursten, 2 Redbulls.

Looking forward to the next trip, not decided on the date yet.

Appointment set with Ringracing tomorrow for corner weighting/balancing and shakedown. I will plan on going Sunday for a full day when the weather permits.

Anyone going to go?

Not me... Weekends are a bit difficult for me this season. I spend too much time at the shop, and on Sundays, I need to be at home, to keep the lady happy.

Like they say... If mommy isn't happy, nobody is happy. Believe me, I understand

...the Sunday weather forecast for the 'ring is 15+ and sunny , as if you could depend on a forecast that far out to be accurate

If I can get away... I might...

No more Sundays Fits?

Well, I can't blame you, too many goofballs/cars anymore...

- - different question - what kind of transmission fluid are you using? ...I'm considering changing mine out, help the shifting action, maybe that and some other things at your shop this spring...



OH, and speaking of the shop, have you considered a 'spring barbeque' meet/getogether or something like that?

We could get the M guys in the region to come out, bring the ladies/kids to show it ain't all bad, we are actually sick about the cars and not a mysterious redhead, toss down a few, terrorize the neighborhood, woof down some ribeyes etc - - and you could invite the local press to exploit the event for advertising and tax purposes - ha

Might be a fun idea.... ?

...or, just a few of us and strippers


(I always got a kick out of goofballs like me, that come up with ideas to have get togethers at someone elses place... )

Mark, I'm trying to look as if I'm working. Quite difficult while reading your post

I have to admit, I've been thinking about an event like that. Well, apart from the strippers then, but I like the idea Not sure what I'll tell the lady though.


I'm sure I'll be at the Ring on Sunday a few times this year. It's just, when I want to go on a weekday, I just tell the lady: I looked in your schedule. You don't have to work on Monday, so I'll be at the Ring. And then she says: OK, fine.
That story is slightly different when I want to go on a Sunday. But if all you guys are going on a certain Sunday, I'll try to make it too.


Regarding the gearbox fluid, I use Castrol ATF TQ something. Not sure what the last part of the code is.
