Glad to see you are keeping Violet nice and clean. I love the new wheels! Those CHR's look great. I think Lar and Violet have the class record at Thill, you must come up and defend her honor....

Dont touch the decals, the white gold looks great on there. You should pick up those forgelines in white gold he had on there as well! Congrats on the stunning purchase.

Forged vs. cast I believe?

Yeah, I'm just not a big fan of Streets or Big Willow...I much more prefer Buttonwillow and Chuckwalla.

No way I'd do CF on the lip, that'd last all of one day. I do like the white gold accent color though.

I wish the 19s were lighter too but they are cast instead of forged.

Yeah, I like doing that as well...sold the white GT3 to an RL lurker and sold my E92 M3 to a bimmerpost member (I bought it from another bimmerpost member). It's good karma to keep it in the family.

LOL...I have PFC dimpled rotors upfront and Turbo rotors in the rear with Endless ME20 pads & Endless fluid (I'm going to the MA45B pads soon though).

Yeah, I don't know if I'll be able to do his time but I am planning on coming up for the July 12/13 PCA GGR event at Thunderhill so I'll do my best. I'll most likely be running NT01s front and RA1s rear. I ran a 2:08.5 with the white GT3 last Labor weekend on NT01s with only having 7 track days under my belt with the GT3. I guess the goal will be a sub 2 minute lap.

The car came with the forgelines that have the white gold centers, that's what Lar had on the car when he tracked (see picture below). The BBS wheels are my street wheels.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are cast.

The color reminds me of the purple/violet color on the E36 M3...can't remember the name of it right now.

Yup, they are.

This car looks more Techno Violet to me. In pictures they almost look the same, but Daytona Violet is more Barney-purple; Techno Violet is almost purple-black.

Daytona was only offered in 1995, whereas Techno was offered from 96-99
