Message: <blockquote data-quote="minivan" data-source="post: 187616" data-attributes="member: 3775">I do track in my humble old EF, not my beemer, as it would take A LOT more money to do track in a beemer. My EF's b16 engine is solid as a rock. I've been to at least 8-9 trackdays thus far and i've done nothing but change oil and oil filter!! And yeah, the brakes pads and fluids have been changed quite a bit to. Other than that, its some basic suspension upgrades and a good set of tyres (AD07's in this case) and you're pretty much ready for a whole afternoon of fun. I'm no hardcore racer, just hobby for fun thing...I dread to think what i would have needed to change if it was a beemer. It would take a lot more to prep a Beemer for track. Even the everyday ware and tare of Beemer is quite a toll on the wallet. I guess Jap tech takes beatings much better that German tech...My fav corners... Long sweeping 3 braking into 4, than long sweeping and understeering 5 and 6 leading into 7 and 8 where its two corners taken like one big corner... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  Turn 12 and 13 just sucks my balls in each time. They say these corners seperate the men from the boys... i guess i'm still a boy when it come to these 2 corners.. super fun none-the-less...But my EF will probaly have to go soon. Financially, the money is needed elsewhere. But at least i can say i've been there. If money permits in the future, i'd definately be back... fingers crossed its a DC5!!! I love Beemers, but u can't take the Honda out of me either... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
