I bought the towing hook ages ago from https://auto-dress.de/. But since then there are a lot more sellers on the market (e.g. NexD, N-Techniks etc.).
On the Bilster Berg I attended track days organised by TC Motorsport and AC Bad Driburg yet. Both events were well organised. Can't really say which one's better tbh.
Not that I can say anything about the quality, but somehow I don't trust such a part for so little money. A simple Tow Hook from Sparco already costs 50€. And a Tow Strap from Takata costs 35€. Anyway, thank you for the information. Especially abaout the trackday organisation.
I know what you mean. I was surprised as well but I've never noticed any differences when comparing mine with a more expensive one. They looked and weighed exactly the same. Either way I always have a second one on the trunk
.Huge improvement compared to standard. I thought this was common sense
. Especially on higher speeds or (fast) curves, there's really nothing better to improve the car's performance.
Last preparations before @tcmotorsportevents trackday in @motorsport_arena_oschersleben - N coilover suspension powered by @kw_suspension turned lower and a bit adjusted in compression.
As @Bu11eT already mentioned in his thread post we've been to another track day last week on the Motodrom Oschersleben.
Below you can see what happened on the track in one picture: me in front and somewhere behind @Bu11eT
I had three things to celebrate:
1. Tested the new Racebox mini and generally it worked great. Since it does not have its own display, you have to use the mobile phone to display it. Unfortunately, during a fast combination of curves, it went into the footwell.
2. After several issues during the last track days with my uprated intank fuel pump I changed it back to the original one (410 € for the part) and that worked flawlessly.
3. I reached 50.000km on the odometer, 15.000km with the stage 3 upgrade and the car's performance still improves (well, I still buy new parts every now and then). The extra power compared to the other Ns in our group definitely compensated for a lot of my driving ability, especially on the straights.
Other topic:
Yesterday evening, we dismantled the front bumper, took it completely apart, and today we took it to the painter. After a lengthy and unfortunately unsuccessful discussion with my Hyndai dealership about what I thought was an improper paint job, I have now decided to find a solution myself.

coming throughA few days ago I received my pre-ordered data display from Canchecked (MFD32) and over the last days I played around with and finally installed it.
Yesterday I just did a little OKF ("local control drive") and took a quick picture. Lastly, we re-installed the newly painted bumper so that the colour matches the rest of the car again neatly.
Small update from today's bad weather session. Changed the spark plugs to
* HKS MR45XLZ
(should improve engine behaviour in low revs among other things )
* Airtec oil cooler kit (upside down, thanks to @Bu11eT 's feedback)
* Powerflex lower torque mount (from yellow to purple)

In preparation for the this year's last trackday in 2 weeks I swapped all tires to Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect:
I expect much better times on the track. Let's see

I have same time with Cup2 Connect with Michelin connect sensors in tyres, but big problem with Connect is degredation of the tyre, it is very bed tyre compared with Cup2
Everybody on my trackday with Cup2 connect on different cars have the same problem

Wow, that doesn't look right. Have you contacted Michelin about this issue?I have same time with Cup2 Connect with Michelin connect sensors in tyres, but big problem with Connect is degredation of the tyre, it is very bed tyre compared with Cup2
Everybody on my trackday with Cup2 connect on different cars have the same problem
Yes I get new tyres under warranty, and next trackday same sh... again, now I have old version again,
now I can't buy anymore Cup2 connect in my country only old version Cup2, but i buy N0 for Porshe they are better then normal
Installed new Tarox C83 discs and Tarox Corsa pads in preparation for this year's last trackday. Had to wait almost three months for the delivery from Tarox. Actually I've ordered Pagid RSL29 pads but they are still not available that's why I switched my order to the Corsa ones.
