no complaints about boost buggies here in STU.... it's the stupid ST Civics :D
Cams in SM?
Not sure for the M3, but in SM I can swap cams, turbo, and all sorts of other stuff.
From Glen's M3, I'm pretty sure you could go FI in SM if you wanted to... in addition to cams.
You'll have to get real r-comps to be competitive though.
Put the stock exhaust back on yesterday. It's so nice and quiet now:D. No more ear plugs.:D
New tires next.
For the people thinking about exhaust next year don't forget about the new 100 db max :D rule in SCCA next year at nat. events, about time. I don't know if we will have a local limit.
I agree and I look forward to seeing how my new exhaust registers. With my current exhaust, I was the quietest car in my class at Nationals. My new exhaust is the same as Sammmy's, so it should not be too loud.Quote:

My left ear still rings from being in the wrong place when a 3 rotor Miata started his car in gird 2 years ago.
Screw cams in SM just do the Active Autowerks Supercharger then you have 500hp.Quote:
