Andy,

This is a problem with Hotmail, and we haven't got to the bottom of it yet. Steve is working on it though. You will get notifications if you have them sent to somewhere other than Hotmail.

Cheers,

Ian.

it's due to the change of address from co.uk to net save www.e30zone.net as one of your safe addresses and they come through

wELL as most Londoners would say, your car is TONK!

Very well done on your conversion and you can easily better that 1/4 time! could do around that time in a fwd vr6 with only about 230 bhp at the fly. would have thought you could get high 11´s or low 12s.

[Jhonno]

dunno.. fastest N/A e30 at pod this year was Karan's 3.6 M5 lumped thing with a 13.5..

[buster]

I hit a 13.5 at york this year so it will be quicker at the pod as you can get grip,unlike @ york

[Gunni]

Excellent work,
S50´s are amazing things.

I've always found exactly the opposite Andy. York tends to give better times. Santa Pod is like an ice rink some days.

not yet run at either, however from talking to mates that have this is what im lead to believe also

[billgatese30]

the thing with the pod is somtimes it can be too sticky.....depending on how well they've prepped the track (depends on the event), you can bog down at the start, and then there is alot more rolling resistance as the track is glued the entire length

york on the other hand is only glued on (and shortly after) the start line, i have seen loads of people get better times at york, other people with loads of power get better times at the pod, but they do loose a few mph at the end of the 1/4

[just2zang]

Smaller rims, wider tyres and larger profiles with some of the air left out of them with softer suspension settings and almost bald tyres should see that time improve massively! Going on diet usually helps , im 13 stone!

[brian325i]

hi buster did you rr your car yet?

[buster]

I haven't ran at the pod ,just that the guys I know which go to york have all ran faster at the pod.I will have to try it for myself some time.
Brian,
Yes i did have it rolling roaded ( cue list of excuses) but,My car had a bad misfire (does it when its been raining a lot)
Also there was doubt that the rolling road was ran on the correct settings .
Anyway, it put out 285hp at 282 LBft

[Gunni]

282lbs?
That sounds well in excess of what a 3.2 is supposed to do.

[Jhonno]

Also there was doubt that the rolling road was ran on the correct settings

what is factory torque for an 3.2 and 3.0?

[ric325i]

for the 3.0 its:

Max. output: 284.8 PS (281 bph) (209.5 kW) @ 7000 rpm
Max. torque: 320 Nm (236 lbft) (32.6 kgm) @ 3600 rpm


actually i also got

Max. output: 295 PS (291 bph) (216.9 kW) @ 7000 rpm
Max. torque: 323 Nm (238.2 lbft) (32.9 kgm) @ 3900 rpm

but thats for the 3.0 GT dont know what thats about?

i dont know what it is for the evo but i have seen busters car running and it runs well

285bhp i thought was a bit gutting but i think a little play with the exhaust was the plan?

[brian325i]

well 285bhp is nothing to cry about,more than two iS's

do you think its due to manifolds.I understand it cant be avoided but do you think thats why?
ps great car,and looks stunning,and goes like shit off a shovel,top work

[glenn]

do you think its due to manifolds.I understand it cant be avoided but do you think thats why?

i've managed to get mine in with no modifications to the manifolds other than the one collector box that fouls the 'lolli-pop' wishbone bracket.
being lhd helps

285bhp 'aint too shabby'
especially on a suspect rr

well done andy!

[buster]

thanks Glenn
I dont think its the manifolds though.It had a horrible missfire.i blame that.

[old_skool]

Sweet - 285 eh?

Mines in for as session on the dyno next week so we'll see what happens! Hope you're well mate, haven't spoken since the dreaded floods

Go steady.

[buster]

hi mate.Yeah long time no speak.Did try and call a few times but couldn't get through.I didn't want to pester you as i knew you had a lot on your plate.
Hows it all going now ? The house sorted yet ?

all the best,
andy

[Gunni]

Again,

282lbs torque.
can you post up the dyno chart.

[buster]

no.I wouldn't know how to.Unless i take a photo of it i suppose,if i can find it

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

buster that looks wicked,what wheels are they?

how wise are they at the back and are you using the E30 M3 suspension set up?
