Love your personality! I have to agree a seat would help you so much with feeling what the car wants to do

Great video, I run 30psi hot on my e36 m3, on apex arch 8s of course! A seat will make a serious improvement, it’s crazy how upgrading a seat will make you faster!

these videos are so good, keep it up guys

Appreciate the love! ❤️

Great !! E46 m3 is awesome

sad to see another one become unbuyable but at least he's living his best days before the rust comes in :P

Loving this series so far! Keep it up. 1:56.78 aint bad at all!

Apex wheels have the best fitment

This is awesome! Would love to see a section at the beginning listing the specs like mods, weight etc.

@@apexwheels Do y'all find that the 18x10+25 requires any work to the fender, or is to aggressive for the street? Im debating between that setup and 18x9.5 +35

In back the 18x10" ET25 is a pretty easy fit. Up front however you will need a pretty large amount of negative camber along with a suspension that has good inner clearance. We really only recommend that setup for people doing a lot of track time. For the street, the 18x9.5" ET35 with a 12-15mm spacer in back is more ideal. Depending on the wheel model, the 18x9.5" ET28 is another god option, especially for those running coilovers the need more room up front (KW, Bilstein PSS10, etc.) Feel free to get in touch via email if you have any questions! expert@apexraceparts.com

Is your quick release hardware attached to the crashbar? great video!

I don't know how it's mounted myself, but you can ask Yo on IG at @yo_keutla. He'd be happy to chat! (this car is for sale btw)

The quality and direction of all the recent videos, including this one are on the up and up! A few thoughts/ideas for the future... - During your fast-lap attempts, the splicing in of b-roll was confusing/distracting, taking away from what might have been a much more instructional video. - Having some thoughts from the hot shoe driver directly may add more instructional value. - Overall I felt you opened the video with a premise of sharing more about the car's specific characteristics / build and you ended up focusing a bit more on the track itself and the car's elements became secondary. (my personal interpretation anyways) Perhaps there were some teething problems with cameras and mics (happens all too often), but keeping a greater consistency on angles/mounts and audio are the last 10% that would make the polish on these videos even greater. Thanks for putting in the work!

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! The lap talk through ended up being more a ride-along experience and I was hoping the B-roll would have added to that in hopes of being a more immersive experience. It has been awhile since I've done a talking lap review at pace, so definitely a little rusty! I already have some ideas to tackle some of the feedback you have, so I look forward to getting out again with the team to film!

what is better for a track - M3 or cayman 2009?

@apexwheels

Жыл бұрын

Great question! I've owned two 987 Caymans actually a 987.1 Cayman S and a 987.2 Cayman R. One really isn't "better" than the other as they both have their unique benefits/downfalls. Overall though, the M3 is the easier car to get up to speed in and be comfortable in my experience. The Cayman's mid-engine balance is fantastic but will take some time to come up to speed. Once you are comfortable though, I believe that the Cayman is a more formidable track tool and would be the faster all things equal. Can't go wrong with either!
