went usc got me wonderin how u guys run @ 1/4 mile strips. i struggld 4 grip

my bests 16.1 sec @ 85mph in my 325i se 5dr

Dave got 14.7 in his VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVTEC monster.

I got 15.9 all day long at York recently.

Was disappointed with it, but next time i'll actually bother to prepare the car such as removing rear seats, clearing out the boot, lowering rear tyre pressures, take out passenger front headlamps

If I sorted my reaction times a bit I am confident of being in the late 14's

yeah i need 2 prepare car 2. i ran mine with loads a crap in the back. tools n all sorts. shud b fun.

14 seconds dead is my best so far. Mind you that was at full road going weight complete with full interior and my sub box etc.

With a bit more practice, and a bit of weight reduction, it would probably drop well into the 13's.

gonna have to consider a 3.5 conversion, just wish I had the $$$

Santa Pod is way too far to go for me, would have to be like a Zone meet or something to go that distance

At least you beat the Cooper mate!

cheers pitty it didnt get my 16.1 run. doh. i startd pissin myself at the tort o runnin against a new mini cooper in my 500quid bmw. te he. cant wait till next time on a strip ill hav spent more money by then on guddies

9.7 seconds in my rover sd1 4.2 with noz but never do it in my bmw

15.05 in my sport with a chip and stainless system

18.5sec in my 323i. Well I haven't actaully tried it but that's what it feels like. You guys have just made me decide that I want to have a go at this now, or at least a 0-60mph. I have a G-Tech thing so now I just need a road. I could go to drag strip but the closest one is an hour away and people there would laugh at myself and my car.

If I can find a way of hosting it I would love to share one of the videos I got from Santa Pod last year... I went to watch my mate in his corsa (Dont laugh... he got 14.4s... bearing in mind is a 2.0ltr 16v) and I saw an e30.... then I felt the floor rumble and it rocketed down the strip and about halved the time of the crappy civic it was racing... this was the first time i saw a 335 in action, but this was a 335 with a difference, 3.5ltr m30... with the biggest nirtous system i've ever seen and NO excess weight anywhere, its an awe inspiring video! hehe

Was that the pink coloured one?

I've seen the vids if it is, in fact I think I have them on my work PC.

My best time is 15.42 @ 96mph, but so want a go on the strip soon

I sold it a few years ago and I've just heard a rumour it's recently changed hands again for 28k with a complete monster engine and box in it. Sub 10 sec street car !!!

Yeah loads... All my friends are into still in a very big big way... I'm not sure if my mate Pete is still looking to shift his 54 Oval. RHD. It's had new frame head, both heater chanels. It still needs floor work (nothing to bad from what I can remember). I know it's got doors, correct oval bonnet and W lid and rear lights. No wings or interior. Still got the original non sync gear box. He was after about Ԛ£650 for it. I'll find out tonight and PM ya tomoz.

Ԛ£650 thats a great price-pity its not complete, cos thats almost what i'd like

i'd rather get something that was complete and maybe needed some work for the MOT??

thanks mate, PM me the details anyways
