Martin is the best at getting his car completely sideways and then recovering hehe.

Yeah those S2k's, they are fast fast cars to begin with and that track is not designed for heavy cars. Any time below 1:30 at Streets is fast. Amir the M3 driver, is fast and he has his car dialed in perfectly. Martin you will do 1.24-1.25 there no problem once you are dialed in. Streets is always a learning experience and can be a frustrating course, but they use it as a test track for a reason.

Side note: the GT6 simulation of Streets of Willow is pretty damn good!

Nice feature Martin. Do you have any photos that shows how you secured your front splitter to the stillen bumper? Or…if you are switching bumpers any chance you want to part ways with your existing splitter?

ENT-Z the splitter is gone, the braces I might reuse but I will snap some pics when I remove it as I need to build a new one with a new bumper.

The bracing is using 2 oem locations right under the subframe and also the crash bar and 2 more braces near the fender/headlight area.

Yeah some photos would be sweet! My crash bar is gone but I'll figure something out.
