Hey guys its been a while so i thought id bring a treat here is a video of some of the action i had at my local raceway in my 1uzfe powered BMW E30, My freind and myself in the car, He is busy talking to his mum at the start haha, The track was bloody cold and a light drizzle as you can see but it was good for making power
I tried to edit and put more bits and pieces of the action in but i suck at this computer stuff, oh and for some reason youtube have dropped the quality of my recording big time!!!!!!! buggers.
PLEASE VOTE 5STARS FOR THE VIDEO or I wont make another one.........................for a while
Enjoy I hope

Seems pretty impressive in a straight line. How heavy is the engine as it doesn't seem to make that many apex's if I am honest. Does seem to want to scrub the front end on a bit, but the weather could have had an influence. It is hard to tell from a video.
The noise is clearly sexual.

I wouldn't have thought a lexus V8 is much heavier than an M20
Good work Riley

Its quite light really, its about 20-30kgs lighter and sits allot further back. Its more me not making the apexs, was a slippery/drizzly day and i was going fairly easy with passengers.
Cheers

Thats good, I assumed the weight and distribution should be quite good with in being two inline 4's basically, but I thought it a little rude to suggest you should aim for the apex's I'd also be taking it easy with passengers if it was wet and I had 340bhp in an e30.
