    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    So I had my M3P at the track this weekend and tried running without regen to see how it impacted battery temps. Well, the battery seemed fine, but in a few laps I got a warning that the brakes were too hot. I'm running the MPP BBK in the front and upgraded rotors in the rear with track pads all...

    Seat Back Strength - Racing Harness Ready?

    I looked at it after realizing the QuickFit Pro wouldn't be allowed at some events, but haven't gone any further than reading on their website. I'm concerned about the seat collapsing as well and feel like I'm trading safety with being held in place. Ultimately the right long term investment is...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    Agree with you. I hope and assume everyone is well intended and it is #1. In which case, great, let's get the safety side sorted out and other tracks can adopt the best practices.

    Coronado Destination Charger

    That's super strange. I used plugshare as well and when I zoom in on that location using the map, I see nothing (screenshot below), thus I wondered if it was gone.

    Coronado Destination Charger

    There used to be a destination charger at the Coronado Island Marriot. The Tesla maps no longer show it, but the hotel claims it exist. Can anyone confirm either way? Thx

    Cooling the Performance Model 3 On Track – An Overview of Our Modified Heat Exchangers

    Interesting, I run full regen, left foot brake and haven't noticed any lift off oversteer or nervousness. The regen was difficult to get used to as I had trouble judging the deceleration rate going into a corner and would end up using the throttle before the apex. I'm running at 50:50 and still...

    Which tire is faster - frivolous debate

    Wasn't clear about this in the original post, but this is on an M3P on a track, but it seems to be converging on the 3R.

    Which tire is faster - frivolous debate

    Was thinking about this while shopping for track tires based on the availability I saw. Which would be faster, a 275 supercar 3 or a 265 supercar 3r?

    Strange sound from wheel/suspension

    To follow up on this. I retightened all of the major suspension bolts, including the shock nuts and while nothing appeared to be loose, the sound has gone away. Maybe, to one of the responses, something was just slightly loose.

    Strange sound from wheel/suspension

    At a recent track day I started hearing the sound below from the front suspension. I noticed it under braking and turning and was able to reproduce it occasionally going over speedbumps, as the video below shows. It sounds like a twang, like something you would hear from a spring, but who knows...

    M3P Lug Nuts

    Thank you, I had just found the titanium ones and that seemed like a silly expense.
