Who's doing the 1/4 mile at santa pod?

[dips346]

i will only have 1 week to get a car done from start to finish ready for santa pod so will have to wait and see

[cliffybabe]

[cliffybabe]

I wanna put my car on a stand i dont know if duffs or az will have ago, I think az will wait till next year once he's finished playing

[shazE30]

just to say m3ben05

thats sum funny shit on that link..........

anyway if me and my mate come down to santa pod were thinking of doing a head to head in our cabs looser sells their car

as we both have practically the same car.....colour engine etc etc

lets hope he dont put his seats down

my old tech one sport was pushing about 180 bhp and 50hp of nitrous so a total of 230bhp, however due to the nature of nitrous ging a 50hp increase through put the rev range it was faster than an engine tuned to 230 bhp car if you follow !!

that used to run 14.7 on a regular basis and the quickest was a 14.5. By droping the rear diif ratio to a 3.91 from the 3.64 would have probably given me regular 14.5

the M3 with 265bhp and 315ft-lb and 50hp nitrous ran a 13.5 once but the qickest recored slip which i have shows 13.9, again ths was with long gearing, 5sp OD bod and 3.25 diff, if i changed the diff to say a 3.64 (which i will when the car is done) i would be closer to a 13.3

my aime is to be in the mid 12 next year !!

what distracts a lot of peopleon the 1/4 srtip is the car next to them, you want to beat them !! i always launched my car when i was ready, i never aimed to beat the car next to me, but to beat the clock. you reaction time will be longer, but the acutal timer for the run will ot start till YOU leave the line , you could sit there for 5 seconds, but that wont affect your time.

only in true competition do you have to launch as as close to the ocar text to you to win, in real racing you could launch first, but still not "win"

any way, i'll run the IS for the hell of it !!

[Cotty]

I fancy having a go on the strip

[Kedge]

My 2.5 Touring I estimate would have been high 15's.

Can't make my mind up as to whether to take it up the strip or not!!

[miniblob]

I thought I read if u wanna show ur motor on the E30zone bit u couldnt get on and off the stand so u couldnt do the 1/4mile.

Didn't know that!! I wanted to do both!!

I wanna have a go at the strip though!! Just interested to see how mine compares with any standard 325's!!!!

[Davenotouring]

There's no reason why not, I don't think you'd hurt it.

It's the same as nail it off a roundabout onto a motorway for example!?

Give it a go mate, it's quite a buzz.

[dark_sounds]

i wanna take it! i challange anyone with a IS!

[dips346]

like you car aint going to fall apart first anyway the front is not exactly aero dynamic and I don't think your exhaust will breath properly with your ck under pants blocking ............lol

[panesar_e30]

[E30BeemerLad]

my 325 with air filter, cam, FSE, remap & scorpion system only did 15.9, it was a blindingly hot day and the car was running in full street spec, the boot was even half full of crud.

I was disappointed personally

Ali tak eone of the bugys instead it will last longer mate

[oguz327]

lol ali

i am not too bothered about showing my car which is just as well as its a tech 1.

just wanna socialise and have a go on the 1/4 mile for the experience of it, not bothered about times too much but it would be a bonus to get a good time on the go.

do we get to do burn outs to warm the tyers up

[oguz327]

[Andy335Touring]

I'm not expecting to be very quick TBH, do you think i'd be able to do it in 15ish ?

[Kos]

burn outs allowed !!

[oguz327]

burn outs allowed !!

does it actualy make much difference on a street car kos?

[dazleeds]

count me in for this

just gotta get the tech 1 running properly then your all getting spanked

[Kos]

i kinda warms them up, but on street rubber its debateable! there are a few tricks you can do to help traction !!

[oguz327]

be interesting to see how there gonna organise the runs, on the website its saying 4 cylinder, 6 and v8 categories.
wonder if there will be sub sections for e30, e36 etc

[E30BeemerLad]

yeah, other than giving them a brief spin up to get any crap off there's little point doing a standing burnout for 20 secs on road tyres.

Dropping the rear pressures a bit helps off the line traction, but don't go nuts as the flip side to this is more resistance when actually going down the 1/4. 15psi or something in the rear is prob enough. Make sure you or someone has a foot pump for the journey home though

[dark_sounds]

lol dips,,, ok fellas,,, fair enough.... but might as well give it a go! and hope my clutch dont go poof!

[Kos]

i'll run the IS for the hell of it, i know that !!

[iil325i]

will it be RWYB as well or will it be just bmw's running

[bigkev]

gonna see if i can take a few 2,5 scalps

[iil325i]

BMW-only Run What Ya Brung competition with prizes for fastest 4, 6 & 8 cylinder cars, BMW-only showcar competition, Jet Car, club displays, traders and sideshows! All BMWs welcome- race cars, show cars, modern, retros and classics.

take that as a no then haha

[gareth]

if my car is ready (debatable at the moment, may be there in a diesel pug 406... ) then i'll give it a go! would be rude not to i reckon!! especially as my baby brother has the fastest 1/4 mile time in my family in his polo coupe gt. this is cos he's the only one to have done a 1/4 mile yet!!! time to dethrone him!!!!

[bigkev]

my mates taking his VR6 golf down and we're gonna go head to head if possible so i have got to uphold the beemer badge's honour so if anyones got any tricks up there sleeve let me know so i can whoop his ass in front of a big crowd (already taken out the sub and spare wheel)

[dips346]

its only bmw mate

[Cotty]

I just want to have a go, with the auto the times will probably all be the same each run so only need one shot.

Doesnt matter about cutting a perfect light as someone said as the timing beams only start once you start moving to break them.

[Simon13]

f**k the times just worry about beating the person next to u!

cotty i'll race ya in battle of autos!

mine will be wearing wide rubber on the back to cope with all the power 2.5's have too
