- My first HPDE (High Performance Driver Education) track day! I did this with old rotors and pads that had 1/3 the life left since I wasn't able to get new rotors before hand. Because of this I didn't want to push too hard. This ended up being perfect though, since I was able to really refine my line and work on not letting my emotions get the best of me! I'm very excited for more track days!

bro rammed that bump IK Joel was crying LMFOAOAOA 5:50
2:53 if that was my car, his reaction wouldve made every hour spent working on that thing absolutely worth it
the m50 is a glorious engine that deserves respect in all forms
Imagine this thing with a sick wildwood brake set up, it would dominate.
Havent watched the whole video yet but seeing the comments, good call on the endless brake fluid. Its what i run as well its the real deal, as for brakes a good pad is all you need, since your car is as high power as it is you really should go with a super aggressive pad like a hawk dtc60 or equivalent. With a good pad your brakes will most likely be okay with your oem calipers but you will notice theyll get hot and youll burn the dust seals on your calipers and youll just generally wear your rotors and pads faster. A big brake kit will mainly hold more heat and be more predictable. Itll stop about the same with your limiting factor being tire grip while braking. Hoping to see you hit more track days the e30 is a sweet build id love to see more
True but this might only last for two laps or so before overheating. The car needs brake cooling. A simple duct instead of the fog lights with a hose on it does wonders :)
its crazy how much faster your e30 is then the m340i in the corners and straight only thing lacking is brakes. i think a set or slotted rotors and fresh pads and you ll beat them there too. and it was amazing to see how much you improved in only 1 day. love the content soo much, making me wanna make a a financial mistake
He's on race pads and normal rotors. I genuinely think he should just invest into some bigger calipers. E46 330I are a great bolt up upgrade.
Edit: Got to the part he said that he was on his old pads. Yeah those would certainly help.
@@sahzhree7757thats all he’d need! I run 330 calipers on my e36. with track pads, and decent track fluid I have A TON on brake on tap. never had fade.
@@sahzhree7757 yea, rotors are usually the last of your problems if they're not holding up especially in cold weather. def needs a bbk if he's running that much power, or a new set of pads if he didn't have some already. Pretty sure he put some good brake fluid so I doubt its that.
you picked up the line pretty quick, nice driving joel!
Atleast the instructor was okay, some of these guys can be cocky bastards lmao
E30 is insane!!! From delivering to track days, 🎉🎉🎉
Hell yeah the first time being on track is an experience!
I also track a turbo e30 here at VIR, though I have it 370 WHP since I'm stock block.
I fit 245-40's on all 4 corners with 15" wheels just FYI. Using some Falken RT660's the grip is UNREAL. Best tire for longevity and grip, there are grippier tires, but for the amount of laps you get out of them, there the best tire. and first starting out, track time over more grip is the way you want to go.
Love seeing another Turbo E30 out on track. too many NA e30's or there running SPECe30.
Keep out there dude, love the videos!
I was waiting for this video so much 😅
I always freak out when people start yelling at me at track, that tesla hit the breaks for what looks like no reason. I get that feeling of being so tired, because you have to work on the car before the event and wake up early to make the event.
I don't know about teslas in particular but because of the regenerative braking the car slows down quicker when off throttle, so companies make the brake lights go when ur off throttle if that makes sense. Seems pretty dangerous on track tho sending mixed signals and such
Sheeeeeeesh this video is awesome! I am so excited to get my e46 done so I can start taking it to the track like this! Very inspiring!
You need some 330d Brakes on that thing, and nice to see some grip action rather than drift build👍👍
Probably even something a bit beefier to be honest. Thinking of the weight to power ratio
Nice work bro! That looked like a lot of fun. 🙌🏼
Idk maybe it was just me but that instructor sounded like a complete prick.
Glad you went out and got some great content tho Joel!
He was pretty chill imo. Some brutal honesty at the end with 'you should get a low power car and learn how to drive' but he's 100% correct. Car has way too much power on 225s to let you get down the fundamentals of road racing without riding the edge of absolute disaster with how fast it is.
Makes me wanna cop a sim setup and git gud 😤😤
Looked liked a blast! Glad it was a successful trip!
LETS GOOOO
That is a lot of car for your first ever HPDE event lol. Just keeping it on the track is quite the achievement. Any plans to do more track days with it, or throw more track-oriented mods on the car?
Yeah, can't blame the instructor for not letting him get anywhere near opening it up on his first track day. My first track days were in an e30 318is, that car couldn't get out of it's own way if it wanted to in a straight line lol. But makes for an infinitely more forgiving car to learn in.
"Is it fast?"
"uhuh"
ROFL
Time to grab some mf snacks 😂🔥🔥
Bring the e30 to Watkins Glen on Oct. 4-6 with NASA NE. Lots of specE30 guys will be there too to get great feedback on track driving overall!
love the content man
Been waiting for another video! Nice!
Love the car 🔥
I will see you on the track 🫡
Yeeps, you can solve the counter problem by putting something in the connector between the wires. The problem is not with the counter box, but with the connector. I stuck a small piece of plastic between the two rows of wires.
would have loved to hear more of your coaches commentary during your runs but otherwise great video!
before i watch the vid i have to say your thumbnails always grab my attention 🤤
🎉🎉🎉
Thought the whole car flipped when the camera fell😂

First! Love the videos man
FIre as usual
samiir ur breaking the car xD
Love this track. We used to drift it. Pocono is a dope venue.
I was going to say, putting around like that isn't helpful at all. Keeping it under 100 was bad advice. The brakes would have been fine!
He needs to turn it way down for track days. Can't blame the instructor when he doesnt know how well Joel can drive, he's in the rookie/first timer class, and is driving a 500whp, 2800lbs rocket ship with 225s, no cage, and brakes that didn't feel confidence inspiring lol. That track has so many areas to get way in over your head if youre driving hard in that car. Better off learning in something with stock power so you can push the car to it's limits without having to be doing mach 3 to get there. His e30 is badass, but 500whp on 225s on a road course is not the combo you want when you're learning/getting comfortable.
@jooooohn401 Agree, he def needs to turn it down. Hard to find instructors that know when to be quiet and observe then give good advice and critique vs. being overly controlling and critical. He said he came from driving a Miata, so I don't think he was a good match for Joel and this car. Dead giveaway when he advised him to set up his E46 drift car for grip.
you need to try nordschleife with misha in this thing

Maybe I'm trippin but I think you would have done just as good or even better If you just drove your car without the coaching. At least with minimal coaching for the first few laps to get comfortable in the new environment. We've seen you shred on the street and we know you love that car enough to not tear it to pieces on the track but it seems like you were thinking too much to enjoy it at first. Either way I'm proud of you and what you have done so far.

such a slept on channel, love what youve been doing with the vids. keep it up fr
pin me!?
definitely get a roll cage dude.
No way, the cars beautiful with its full interior. Maybe another build, but this one still needs to be able to doordash :P
@@ngige3617 if he's gonna be tracking the car more often then YES it definitely needs a cage. Most cars on track that make that much power run a cage especially if they're gutted
@@ngige3617 If the cage is super tight fitting (3d scan + CAD design would be easiest for this) it will be very low profile and you can also upholster it in black leather, have removable door bars, maybe also removable cross bar on the main hoop. The point is not to have something NHRA spec but it's so you don't unalive yourself doing a pull. See Noble M12 and TVR's and how the cage is invisible inside of the A pillars.

Hi, very cool trackday ! What tires did you use there ? it's look great !
MENN IM SO JEALOUS

how much do you think it cost you to build this car?
Pretty sure he made a video on the engine build cost. Also, a fuckin lot lol.
Was literally parked next to that red trailer where you were. Upset I didn’t get a chance to meet u. So annoying, the weather messed up that day smh
Shift the car, what are you doing .
The instructor told him to keep it under 100mph for the day. So he was probably stuck cruising in 3rd all day
@@SlowBoiGang the beginning of the video with his friend, no tach it looks like, he was good for the rest of the video….. motors don’t like that.
@@SlowBoiGang most instructors are so extra its annoying. That was horrible advice. He would have been better off in the car alone figuring out what he was capable of.
@@obeewon1598 I agree
why did you constantly top accelerating on the straight?
