Jaffster Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 FINALLY after waiting what seems to be an eternity, I was able to get some time at the track ti test my E46 Turbo Race car, and it was at Monticello Motor Club. Test went VERY well, only two small little things came up, but they did not stop me from running. One tiny leak (pressure line on Elec PS pump), and the main battery ground came loose...need to secure it to chassis better (just needs a lock nut). Otherwise, out of the box the car handled fantastically! Extremely neutral, great entry bite, great mid corner grip. The car felt VERY hooked up, even at the 70-80% I was driving it at. Basically had the track open to myself for over an hour, so I got a lot of testing done and only use 9 gallons of fuel! This thing is getting pretty good MPG funny enough! I drove on and off line, took the car through some funky routes around the turns to feel out how the car reacts in many conditions...hug turns tight, hug turns high, basically just felt out the car's behavior. Water never above 180 (88-90 ambient air temp, probably 105+ on track mid day)...cooler temps make this car MUCH faster, its pretty substantial. Oil temp never went above 200.

Members Eric W. Posted August 31, 2010 Members Share Posted August 31, 2010 Are you going to race this in GTS Challenge now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffster Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Looking to run this in GTS4/5 depending on boost level... Might have to wait until 2011 season, but we'll see how the end of the season winds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
