@jfritz7000 thanks man, the car is setup really well. 1:08 and I missed apex on T7 a few times! My AiM said my theoretical best was 1:07.3. If I throw brand new tires on rather than my scrubs I'm thinking 1:06s.

You RU-vid videographers you need to get a second person to hold your phone or the GoPro while you’re trying to do your demonstration it’s very hard to show how to do something when you’re trying to hold a camera and do the work you’re trying to do or if you can’t get a person put your camera on a tripod it would make it a match easier job for you to show mechanical work if you’re not trying to hold the camera and do it at the same time

At the time of this video it was 5spd zf trans mission with a oem rear differential (oem lsd too). Remember the 5 and 6 spds have the same gear ratios as 6spd just missing the 6th gear. We swap the trans for weight savings not gear ratios. Now the car has a 4.10 rear , cams, intake and tune. I'll be at RAtl this coming weekend. We'll see how the times differ

Igot this from a buddy of mine......."People can be talking about one of two things. Any E46 M3 MK60 unit can be recalibrated to match the CSL parameters. There are also a subset of MK60 units that can be used for Race ABS applications which requires a bench flash of a map specifically set to your chassis. Any ZCP/CSL unit can accept the Race ABS programming and any E46 M3 MK60 who's computer number ends in 813.3 can also. Please see below how to tell the difference and note that BMW does not consider the 818.3 and 813.3 units to be different part numbers. So you'll need to see the exact unit you're buying to be sure."

Thanks for documenting this looks like a PITA. Perhaps I'll masking tape and then duct tape over it for strength? Just upgraded my 997.1TT to a stage 2 tune and EP-2 exhaust the stock clutch doesn't like the extra torque. So shopping for a replacement and effort involved. may just go back to stage one after watching this. Indy wants $4K for a stock clutch and coolant line pinning.
