Im getting my car ready to conquer the Nurburgring. As of now I have cold air intake, full exaust (they dont require CATs here), 150 shot and a wicked tune. I just ordered Pedders Track II, some DBA 4000 Series XS Premium Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors, and some ROH Drift-Rs 18x8 in front and 18x10 in the rear for wider rubber, and BMR drag bags.
Can anyone else think of something I might need to put on to give these M6s, M5s, and M3s out here a run for their money?
Im not sure, the guys that built my car (HPE in texas) are supposed to be the best in the houston area for tuning LS model engines. I just call it a wicked tune.

Don't see that happening either with a tech inspection on that course.

a little over 8 miles open to the public. I think 12 total. I guess, ill just save the NOS for the drag strip. without it, I cant compete with the M5s and M6s. Guess Ill just have to gun for the new M3s.
Lose the nitrous. It's pointless. You're better off putting a mild cam in the car and having "all the time" power. I hope you have a set of dedicated race pads, fresh racing brake fluid, and decent tires too. Check out the road racing section for more. The Lounge is not the place to figure out if your car is ready for the Nordschliefe.
Be prepared to throw another set of rotors on the car too. Depending on how aggressive you are, your DBAs may be toast by the end of one day. I would not run a car around any track, especially a track like the Nurburgring, in street trim.

Leghumping is a great way to make yourself ridiculously unappealing. Think about that next time a girl posts.

Agreed on the fluids. Make sure they are fresh as well as brakes being in order. Good luck and be safe, such a fun place. Most of it will come down to the driver. Know the course, keep your lines, and drive within your limitations. You aren't out there to win money, and you sure aren't going to set the course record, enjoy your time.

Where did you order the ROH drifts from? I have them on my car and rubbed a curb so looking to find them but have had little luck since they are no longer produced.
