translation: as I have thought about with Jess in the same state, I want lots of race cars, but she'd probably kill me, so I'll settle for one. :lol:
Hehehe... It wasn't quite that bad, but I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't phrased the initial question to her without some idea of what would and wouldn't fly 8)
We were going to go down to OG Racing to try on helmets yesterday, but didn't get around to checking the website for directions until 2:15, and noticed that they close at 2:00 on Saturdays. She wants to do an HPDE later this summer, and will need a helmet that fits. Who am I to discourage this kind of behavior? Incidentally, we'll also need a track car. Like, for example, an E36 M3. Thread is now back on topic. Thank you, thank you.
Another question (or statement): Drivetrain flex and the infamous overrev. I haven't read anything definitive one way or the other regarding a fix for this vulnerability. Stiffer tranny/engine mounts? Shifter replacement? My first modifications to an E36 M3 will be to mitigate this issue as best I can. Discuss.
