Hey 2000UZJ, I had been meaning to comment in post #142. Depending upon the resolution of the original image or the file that you have, the photo could be worthy of a crop. Snapfish and others could then send you a cool glossy photo worthy of framing and putting on a wall. Maybe a 11 X 14 would look nice.
I did a quick crop of your photo. It pulls the car in, but does not lose the sense of motion created by the pan shot. Apologies for messing with your photo.

Cal,
You are more than welcome to crop/edit the photo. Send me your email address. I have a few with the front rotor turning red/orange. That would be a cool shot to frame! From what I can remember its a large file, I'll get the resolution off my computer in a little bit.
Washed the car. Then immediately went off roading. We took a wrong turn and ended up on a washboard road for about 20 miles. Airmatic raised up and in comfort mode we were able to keep a good pace.
I had the underside of the Carlsonn CF lip refinished, wet sanded and clear coated to remove the scrapes and rock pitting. When they washed it I guess they sprayed a cleaning agent on the hood and it melted the rubber logo. I realized it was just a piece of rubber and peeled it off. Looks much better .
I was unable to get to Road Atlanta today. I need to finish up my brake conversion. 2pc rotors, Carbotech pads, SS lines and Motul fluids. I am also going to run R888's on the stock 18's that I have. I want to get them refinished and powdercoated bright silver. I am trying to loose a little weight on the unsprung side for the corners so I have Niche Essen 19" on the way as well. Wrapped in PSS
I have the DTE Pedal Box, not the Sprint Booster. It changed the car dramatically and eliminated the rubber band effect when trying to find the right amount of throttle coming out of a bend. It's more predictable and responsive. I drive in Sport 3 and haven't changed it since. A little sensitive in the wet. It's nice to be able to put it in Eco mode when she drives it, really makes it hard to get the power out of it. Feels like a 4 cylinder in traffic
which model number of the pedal box did you get and where did you buy it ? I've been thinking about this mod for a while..
Began laying carbon fiber over the old wood. This will be quite a project. I'm going for a super natural low gloss finish. Clear coat so thin you can feel the weave. I don't like the high gloss plastic look. A few pictures of the weave.
Carbotech's installed and full brake job done. Should allow for some more stopping power!
Awesome man, I still think it's cool to see ya track the E55. Once my ARH Long Tubes go on the E55 I'm leaving it as is and will start to focus on my track toy. What is your full exhaust set-up BTW. (I see ARH + E63 mufflers).
I have ARH LT's w/200cell cats and plan to source a stock resonator to run again with my C63 mufflers.

It's a really fun car to track. It's a little clumsy around the corners but the ability to swing the back end out at pretty much any given speed and pass any car on the straight makes it worth every bit of the struggle.
My exhuast setup is ARH Long tubes, de-cat, 3" titanium piping all the way back into a X-Pipe and then into CLS63 mufflers. I heard the E63's were too quite and the C63's were way too loud. They have noise restrictions at the tracks here and my car just barely passes leaving turn 1 at AMP and turn 7 at Road Atlanta.
It's a car that I find enjoyable to drive to the track at 80MPH, thrash it all day and not spill a drop of coffee
On the downside to running it "track prepped", or whatever you guys want to call it is the Carbotechs have turned my rims black in 2 days with brake dust. It'll be interesting to see what they look like after a few hot laps...
