M2 Track Day initiation - FBO & Pure Stage 2 - video
After months of anticipation I finally got to take my completed M2 on its maiden voyage. With the build and initial shake down complete I was still a little nervous how everything would hold up through a strenuous track day. Overall the car performed well and had zero heat issues. Driver skill was the limiting factor and I look forward to improving over what should be a busy track season

Amazing car and engine! Ain't you scared for the reliability of the N55 with these power mods on the track? |

I love the MP coilovers! I'm using their recommended street settings which is 40% stiffer than stock. Perfect out in the real world, and I didn't feel like they were too soft at the track. I'm happy

I have been wanting to try the mod, but I am just curious about the reliability of the big turbo with
Have you had any issues or the engine vibrating after hard runs/track. How about any transmission related error codes? |

I did have one weird drivetrain CEL about a month ago. Popped up, said it was safe to keep driving. I was on my way to work so I decided to check it out after work. CEL was gone when I restarted the car. I did a CEL check through the OBD and nothing popped up. Besides that one weird occurrence I haven't had any other issues.

Car sounds angry...in a good way. It doesn't look like that track really allows you to get the most out of the car....it is very happy with fast sweepers (100+) and hard braking (-100). Enjoy

Do you have the Akra downpipe and full exhaust as well? Did you hook the diagnostic comp to see what caused the drivetrain CEL? |
