Heading For Mosport Tonight ... - ZTWsquared - 04-25-2009
I didn't want to drive around on the Azenis every day, so I waited until this aft to put on the new rims and tires ... so now except for headlight and taillight mods, I'm pretty much done.

Looks really good Ken. I was wondering how the grill would lookand as it turns out, it looks great. The wheels look good on it aswell. Just needs a slight drop and you will be rockin.

You mean another drop - LOL I've already put the Eibach pro-kit on it ... I think what you're seeing is the difference between the stock 225-50 wheel and the 225-45 I went with for the track ... but yeah, you're right - could go even lower. Unfortunately Eibach doesn't make the Sportline kit for Fusion - so my only option would be coil-overs.
Sticky - hell ya - picks up everything. Hopefully the track won't be too dirty.

Greetings from Oshawa.
It's the BMW Club of Ontario - 2 full days on the long track - I'm doing 3 weekends like this one this year. Apparently only 12 of us signed up for this one so I should be getting lots of track time.
All the info here

I don't see any smileys so I'm assuming this is on the level ... how many beers will this cost me ... or should I say how many cases of beer.
Just got back - awesome weekend. Technically we weren't allowed to take pics to I have just a couple from my cell phone. I will post up a separate thread.

May I ask why it is such a secret for them for people not be able to take shots? :blink:

The rationale they give us is that this is a "school" and not a competition ... and additionally there are people who don't want their cars shown on the internet ...
BTW - they are in fact a registered school and I get a tax receipt and everything ... based on my tax bracket, my $430 "course" only cost me $215 once I factor the tax benefit.
It seems kinda silly to me but they are really adamant about it and mention it often ... otherwise I would have used my new Vado HD for some in-car video ... but they say they'll kick anyone out who's caught taking video ... also the same for using any kind of timing equipment or g-force etc.

Kinda weird but oh well...at least you had fun.
How were the instructors? How did Fusion hold up?

[right][snapback]285897[/snapback][/right]
Instructors were excellent ... and they are all fast (we get 4 sessions with them in their car) ... the Fusion was frankly amazing ... the suspension worked great and the brakes were better than I could have hoped for ... having said that I think I was a bit under-tired - I should have gone for 235s instead of 225s.
I was really down on power compared to the other cars of course, but I was honestly faster than most in the corners - so with the passing rules they way they are I actually passed a lot of cars (if you catch up to a car in the corners, they must let you pass on the straight, even if they are faster in the straight) ... I definitely suprised a lot of the guys there and I had a lot of visitors checking out the car.

That might cause some plastics to melt.
Might.
No smiley faces.
