How much louder has the Fabspeed made your MPE? Also, what size R7s are you running? |

I'd say that it's marginally louder but a mellower and overall more pleasing sound with the Fabspeed DP. The R7s are 275/35 18 square. Would like to try the Pirelli's that arudeone is running next. |

M2 brake cooling
I have taken my 2017 M2 to Chin Track Days at Sebring 14 times since I bought it in Jan 2017. That is about 35 track hours or so. Somewhere between 1500 and 1700 track milea out of 8000 total on the odemeter.
I have been through three sets of OEM front rotors and two sets of OEM pads and one now have Hawk Street/Track pads on third set of OEM rotors up frint. I have just replaced the rear pads but the rotors are still 8n spec (barely). This weekend I again roasted the front rotors after only 3 1/2 track days. Prognosis is Hawk Pads overheated OEM rotors. Brake lines have Castrol React SRF and ECS steel braided brake lines so heat tolerable. BMW in Tampa recommends more airflow as M2 brake cooling ducts are mostly cosmetic. I have found Pegasas but not many other brake cooling duct kit vendors for M2. Any suggestions? Appreciate 0 |

DIY brake ducts
If you look up my post about DIY ducts ( I am tech slow so I didn't post the link), you will see my home made solution. I have tracked my car at Road Atlanta, Sebring, Barber, AMP, NCM, etc using PFC08 pads and Motul 660. I also use temp strips on the calipers and flush/bleed after every weekend. After 50+ track days (lost count) I am ready for my third front rotor set and the second set of rears look great. I often run slicks and brake hard, but caliper temps stay below 450, on the outside. The brakes are amazing and the wear rate for pads and rotors is excellent for a car this fast and heavy. I think my low tech ducts really make a huge difference.

I when though my front rotors in 15 track days, some not full days. The rears were still fine although I replaced all of them as I am trying PFC 11s from 08s to start the year off. |

2:11.7s at VIR this weekend. Both in traffic with points, I definitely had faster laps but they were blocked. After reviewing the video it appears I am over driving the car a bit as well. The car certainly has much more!

2:09.13 ds1.11 pads camber plates Pirelli DH Slicks Best time for day 1 and was looking at 2:08.5 predictive when I blew my left rear tire to start day 2. Did some juggling with a friends mostly toasted 305/660/18's and got them mounted during lunch and salvaged the day...but they were a little to fried (or maybe I was) to better my time. Next trip. |

First track day of the year yesterday with BMWCCA at Lime Rock Park. Trying a new setup with Apex wheels 18x10 and Nitto NT01 275/35 square. Running 3.2 degrees of camber, makes it look pretty mean.
The temps were very accommodating hovering in the 60s for most of the day. Car felt good and the tires have more in them than what I pushed. Happy to be in the 1:01s at the first track day of the year. Last edited by dvas; 04-15-2018 at 07:09 PM.. |

I was disappointed with the video in terms of perspective and exposure as I just assumed that my last settings were going to be carried over and didn't check. The GoPro is a Hero 3. Microphone is a basic lavalier microphone that I have wire out back through the trunk and taped to my license plate. Helps get the exhaust sounds rather than the interior wind noise. |
