Default Greetings & Salutations

Good Morning TR:

A quick Friday morning note to introduce myself and say "HI". Thanks for having me and my race prepped BMW M3. Hopefully, I can be of some use in here.

Turner Motorsports built M3 with a lot of goodies. Just needs a better driver. Here's a shot at Road America.

Thanks for the pic.
Car looks clean.

If you want to see a few member rides, or post some more about your own car,
here is a forum:

https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/members-rides/

And if you did some things to make it a fast car, we definitely want to know! lol

Here in flatland Florida, we would like to know about Road America, too.

How big? What kinds of curves? When do they race? I've heard the name, What is it near?

I like the weight saving items.
I had noticed some low circles on the rear window and I wondered if they were to let the air out.
The carbon fiber is not easy to see.

Are you one of the people who puts on Road Atlanta and Daytona in November and December?

The small circles on the rear and side windows are to relieve air pressure, keeping the windows attached to the car. All the carbon fiber (hood, front fenders and trunk) are painted to match the car.

Yes, I am MVP Track Time (MVP Track Time) and we will be hosting a track event at Daytona December 8-10, 2017.

Hello to everyone here.

The site suggested I introduce myself, so here it goes....

I'm Elton Hammonds and asked to join because I drive a 2015 Subaru WRX STi Launch Edition.

It's mostly stock and will likely remain mostly so since I'm not the racing type, but I'm intrested in tweeking and peaking it a little...

I've just ordered an Ingen Evolution air box and am eyeballing a couple axel back muffler delete options.

I've already installed the Whiteline rear bushings and have the RSE Yellow springs.

What I'm trying to figure out is if someone can tune my car for the new airbox and muffler delete without my having to buy a Cobb Accessport. (they aren't cheap...)
