Hi Donk

Your car looked mean and the ride height was spot on, looking forward to trying your suggested front camber rates.

Some photo's

Hmm, dunno about that mate. From the pit wall, I think Ant's Kumho E36 (the white one) sounded a bit meaner that the CSL's on the induction side. Scarily rapid too. I managed about 10 laps in it before turning green in the morning

Was fun sitting on Thorney's tail a few times too...

The new M5 sounded a bit normal - even down the pit-straight you couldn't really hear the V10.

Great day though, and weather turned out to be fantastic! I got home about 1 after putting Ants car to bed. Oh, and finding someone to make us a curry at 11.30

That X6 was wrong in so many ways.

Spat a belt.

Happened so many times he even has a drawing on the top on how the belt threads through so he can repalce it quickly. He always carries two spare belts with thim wherever he goes.

Answer your question?

Both the E92's (ours and AC's) were both running Acrapovich exhausts.

Driving slicks down to cords isn't to be advised and Donny's noise limit is about as accurate as a Govt WMD report. 100db in am with race exhaust, we added two extra silencers and they recorded it at 104 (roughly twice as loud in theory). I had to short shift to get round it and then they came up and said it measured a 97db then a 109db on the same lap

If they're going to have a system at least make sur eit works.

I seem to have no front brakes now, however, pads worn down to the metal!
