So here is the comparison between Stock map and St2 93OCT v5.8 map. Disregarding the right edge which is wrong data i think, at 5800 the difference is 381 vs 417 hp. Its quite consistent 30-ish hp difference at the higher RPM range and much better at lower RPM.

On 23rd we had a national holiday so i could go to the last trakday of this season on the Pannonia Ring. It was a busy day, the first 3 session was interrupted with red flags due to off tracks and mechanical failures. In the 3rd session a Subaru Impreza went off track while i was following it so i managed to record it.
![]() Previously i installed the Porsche GT3 brake cooling scoops to the front axle too because i wasn't satisfied with the ducts. They were rubbing. So my experience is positive with the scoops. Although the air temp was 10C colder than summer time but after a 30 minute session with 1 cooling lap my disc temp was only 230 C and caliper temp was about 150-170C which is significantly lower than without extra cooling like i posted previously. And here are my videos from this event. Now i made records with my phone's camera too and created PIP videos.

Winter is coming, so today I installed The Automotive Passion's CF Arch guards. They look neat, I like them!

Another winter preparation is the rubber M-Performance floor mats.

Do you use that bike pump for your tires? Why not use the air compressor the M2 comes with? It's a smaller item and works well.

Camber Plates
Was wondering if you have any noise or vibrations after your Camber Plate install ? Did you keep your OEM Springs ? What, if any difference on Public Roads ? Am considering Camber Plates for my M2.

Today i received the dreaded cracking and popping sounds from my speakers, so i guess my HK amp is dead. I pulled its fuse because it screamed even when the ignition was switched off.
Now i started to look for a second hand HK amp to replace it. Damn it! And recently my I-drive keeps restarting. Its quite irregular from couple of minutes to longer periods. I hope it wont fail too.

The stealer doesn't replace the vent but installs a splash guard which I also ordered to install myself. It's the item #8 in the ETK. I also made a picture about the amp and it's visible there are some stain marks on it which must came from the vent next to it.

Beside the mentioned problems I had another project this week. I managed to buy an used Akrapovich cat-back exhaust set for a good price so today i installed it. The install was quite easy and the result is great, I'm very satisfied with the sound. I made a short video but the audio got quite distorted so i will make another one from a bit bigger distance tomorrow. Here are some pics.
Today I also installed a Pipercross drop in air filter and I replaced the gasoline tank ventilation hose which is connected to the intake pipe after the MAF sensor because its plastic lock was broken.

Today I continued my project with some internal cleaning, I updated the HU with UPD09042 file which I downloaded from BMW website then recoded it. Maybe it will solve the restarting problem.
Also I installed the Schroth Quick-Fit harness which I will use on trackdays. I wasn't satisfied with the factory belt because it doesn't hold well in corners. The install was easy and it holds well as i tried out. ![]()

Scroth Quick-Fit Pro
I was wondering why you would not have gone with the Quick-Fit Pro model which can be used with a Hans device due to the shoulder straps being closer together? I will be getting one soon. There is a thread in the Track section on this.

Well there are some reasons. I don't use HANS, it is cheaper than pro version, and it is comfortable at the belly lock. If i will use HANS someday later (usually most of the tracks i go there is no helmet compulsory in a closed street car) i would get and keep the straps closer to hold the HANS.

Today I installed the factory amplifier splash guard (#:65152715205) I bought recently. It's been installed in cars since spring 2019, so earlier car's owners should install it to prevent water getting to the amp causing it to die. Its a cheap but working solution.
Also my new Motorsport Hardware nuts have arrived, so i will use them on my next trackday in March.
