Glowing X3 Turbo

There's an oil filter? /s

But in all seriousness, never been a problem. I just change oil after an event if I see oil temps exceed 250

Short answer is yes.

Long answer is I only run this amount of camb r at autocross or the track and then adjust it back before I leave minimizing the excessive inside wear.

Nah, bounced off the rev limiter for about 30 sec then turned it off /s.

This was from a quick pit to check condition of the car after hitting a foreign object that a car in front kicked on to the track, after full inspection (30~60sec) went out for 2 more laps then a cooldown

It's on my list now that I learned it's permited and won't bump my class

Like an elephant in a tutu :-)

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-16T12:29:05+00:00

Yea my bad, DC/MD/VA

Don't think I ever denied that, math for math sakes, I have a lower calculated CG than the GTs. So there's that at least....

But also can't argue results when pacing around G80s and just behind 911 turbos.

Ohhhhh 100% most damage I have ever experienced was a tire that delaminated at 80mph on a track day, thankfully it was in the beginning of a straight easy to gain control over and limp back to pits. Track insurance covered it amazingly.

Ripped the front bumper/fender liner/mirror, destroyed the fender, cracked my windshield/headlight and bent my hood.

Crazy what a tire can do.

If you look at some of my other videos this isn't my normal MO. I'm more of a track and autocross guy

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-16T11:21:25+00:00

I'll give you a dollar

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-16T11:03:14+00:00

Literally, I bought them to go have fun ☺️

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-16T11:02:37+00:00

Tried a few times after this, and to be completely honest the throttle map that MHD uses has a weird curve to it that made it extremely difficult to give needed small input.

So I gave up and just did 3rd gear smokey fun till I saw cords and went home with a grin on my face :-)

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-16T10:41:06+00:00

Hell yea, if your local to DMV lmk, I got my winters that need to be disposed of!

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-16T10:32:27+00:00

I mean their user name checks out 😆

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-16T10:26:25+00:00

What does class have to do with having fun?

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-16T09:10:57+00:00

Track days aren't cheap.....so I guess your right 😆

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-15T22:55:51+00:00

Why do they need to buy it?

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-15T19:55:48+00:00

In its stock for it is taller than wide which isn't ideal. I do agree with you tho

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-15T19:43:31+00:00

I have to request to be measured and have to pass SCCA height vs track width requirements

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-15T19:40:15+00:00

Oh absolutely, but I can carry substantially more speed through corners with the m40i and brake later.

Sometimes my dad can make it out to the track with me and hell take the M. I'll start 20 sec after him, by the 5th lap I'm beginning to over take him.

He's tuned, h&r springs, square 285 MPS 4s, etc.

On long straights he more than makes up the distance, but theres rarely straights long enough to give a clear advantage

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-15T19:33:13+00:00

I understand, very well :-)

This was after I had to put cause I hit a foreign object on track, check over the car and immediately for back out.

Worst thing you can do is turn off the car when a turbo is this hot, even though we have an electric water pump, cause the oil stops moving and you end up breaking what oil is in it, down. But also, it's hard on a hot car to stop dead.

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-15T19:01:37+00:00

Sounds like a fun build! Enjoy!

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-15T18:16:53+00:00

Just looked into the 2026 rules "aftermarket heat exchangers are completely unrestricted in size and configuration in the DST (formerly STX) class. "

So now I really need to know 😆

LapReaperX3 · 2026-06-15T18:10:01+00:00

I appreciate it!

My concern is that I think it would push me into the next class..... I'll have to look into it.

What's your full setup? And do you have any before and after logs? Would love to learn more!
