    Hey Fabel.

    I "know" you from CR, but I don't think we have directly interacted.

    This place will probably be a bit more...receptive to your BMW's.

    So you took one of the best handling cheap cars money can buy and slammed it to the ground so that it now handles more poorly than my lifted Wrangler? Not understand....

    I guess it looks kind of cool though. I'll never understand this stance thing.

    hi Palmer & DigitalK. gotta say thanks to all of ya. but can anyone tell me if JTapper is a stalker?, because um . . . he posted more photos of my car than I did.

    & as far as handling, its top of the line on the streets. I just love when people think they know a car they haven't been in or seen perform. I guess that's just part of the aura of these damn cars.

    I'll post more soon enough, but JTapper already helped me out plenty, so anyone care to ask/question/challenge a specific area of the car first? if you wanted, you can also check out my quick intro here: http://eurowerks.org/showthread.php?t=35145 as I am familar with the crew & lurk on here ever so often.

    be happy pimps.

    Yep, I'm a stalker.

    I've seen the car on Stanceworks earlier this year.

    Lookin' good...post more BMW shots.

    I'd like to see it "handle" sometime... Stiff doesn't mean it handles well.

    glad to see you knew I was being playful with it, but if you seen it, then you should have commented (whether good or bad) punk.

    bimmers are coming at some point, but this chassis is just too much fun to leave alone right now. it's cool you even care.

    so much more mature than some others have commented to me before, but you're dead on & you're absolutely right to question my comments.

    stiff is often times ignorantly mistaken for great handling. on track at full compression & optimal transitions would most likely be subpar with some of my current settings, but I had stated 'street car' for a reason.

    I track bimmers & know that full potential of any car is usually not possible on the road so why act like it would be. I'm just playin' with the roadster & prefer to push the envelope in as many areas as possible where it can be actualized.

    on the street, pads take awhile to be up to temp; tires never & hitting proper apexes will constantly be compromised as well as the fear of police/pedestrian/cars/etc. transitions won't be able to supply their true fulfillment & momentum is constantly thrown away while being a wannabe race car driver on the roads.

    it's almost a waste to deny 'road fun' on a road driven car & so I'm currently dabbling in areas that I can maximize without ruining anything in the process. besides, on the streets it sticks in every situation I can possibly present.

    I don't see any flaws in the direction of my build. if you guys do, then help me out because I do truly care to make the most of this lil car.

    As much as I wasn't expecting to, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I figured you would just be another "it's really stiff so it must be great!"

    I'm sure turn in on this car is great, and let's face it, that's what counts on the street. So, continue to have fun with it! It really looks good too.
