I think the basic rule of thumb is: "ALWAYS bring an extra set of pads"!!

...and check them EVERY session at CMP.

Just back from the long drive home to Boston. CMP was a great experience. Building up to no lift at the kink was my accomplishment for the weekend. Sure beat the weather in Boston.

BTW, what times are typical for E36 M3's for CMP? I was running 1:58's until running into reduced engine power on the right-handers.

have you looked into the second fuel pump kit from bimmerworld? I had problems with fuel starvation even over half a tank. I would highly recommend it, not good to be running lean on right handers.

Glad to hear you had a good time.

This time it doesn't appear to be fuel starvation - I've had that at below 1/2 tank. This was a nearly full tank around 5-6-7 and 8 the engine just didn't want to accelarate until close to track out - ie. pointed straight. Similar problems at 12. Someone suggested my motor mounts be checked, fuel filter. Not sure where else to go.

yeah i used to get fuel starvation on the straight right after a right hander. It was never during the turn. Like i said, way above half tank. Can you get a wideband o2? that way you could find out if it's going lean if you are not positive
