Guesstimate tomorrow's 1/4 mile time

[95s52]

So I'm heading out to the strip tomorrow. No new mods since my last few times out which both pulled the same exact best times. (13.834, both runs where done on fish's azenis) The traps where very different, 99 and 101 mph..

So guess, or better yet, tell me what my car "should" run with my existing mods.

95 m3:

Obd1 s52 (s50 headers/mid-pipe :()
m50 manni
#24 injectors
ss exhaust
3.5" HFM
euro intake
Turner software

I will be taking off spare/jack, rear seats and possibly the pass vader. Fuel will be at 2 gal even. I will also pull the left headlight for the "ram" intake action:buttrock I will make sure to weigh the car at the scales there.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I mounted 245's in the rear on my 7.5'' rims. Much better traction, but I get a slight rub on tight turns.


I will be mainly focusing on my 60 foot. The 13.8 runs where done with a 2.3 and a 2.2 :rolleyes. So I'm looking to be consistent in the 2.1's and possibly hit a few 2.0's ;)

Any criticism and advice will be greatly appreciated.

[s50swapped]

Whats the altitude at that track? Thats a horrible trap speed for those mods IMO.

You should be making ~250whp. I know damn right well I would be running 13.4-13.5 @ 103-105 all day.

[dEfUsEd]

Seems about where you should be. If you can get those 60's down around 2.0, you should pick up a couple 10ths in the end. That MPH is decent.

In my camaro, bone stock I ran a 13.998 @ 97mph. I've been dying to get the M3 down to the track. I actually went last weekend and I guess they were close because they thought it was going to rain.

Good luck, and be safe. Hope you got a helmet too. :P

[Eddie916]

Not too sure about the race thing, but I was wondering if you knew a guy with a black 95 m3 in the area, on non-e36 rims (possibly e46 sports or even e46 m3s). I saw him over here about a week ago and I thought it was you, but upon checking your sig, I found yours was white.

Nope. You wouldn't even get close to that in an E36 with an S52. And I doubt the OP is making anywhere near 250WHP.

[Tony Soprano]

13.7@103 with a 2.1 60ft.

[GG///M3]

I'm guessing 13.499 @ 104mph :D

[djervin]

Get your 60's under control, and I would say 13.50ish. You should be under a 2.0 60' Shallow stage and run right behind someone with big ass slicks.

[95s52]

you can get a 13.65 out of her at 102
good luck

Sticking behind your original guess? I'll trap 103 just for you ;) and who is this bag of douche that you speak of?

With his mods on a s52 he should be somewhere between 240-250whp i would think. Which track do you plan on going to?

[m3j0n]

i dont know the amount of gas you were running in the previous runs, but i would say that shaving up to 0.2 seconds would definitely be possible.

I would think at least 245whp. My s50 made about 237whp, but it did have a AA trackpipe 21.5 injs, 3.5 inch hfm, and a nice AA tune for those mods. What are the temps supposed to be over there tomorrow?:cool Good Luck

I need one of 'em "nice tunes." I get stupid rich at WOT over 4.5k.. Oh and I made the thread yesterday, so I'm off to the track in 3 hours. Its going to be 96 out there today :( Hope it cools down through the evening

[jworms]

13.5@102 with a 2.0 60ft that's my guess.

weren't your numbers uncorrected? i'd be surprised if the OP is making close to 240rwhp SAE with the restrictive exhaust system he has currently. i'm thinking more like 225-230rwhp

on second thought, i just checked weather.com for the weather in sacramento today and it's ~90 degrees there. if it's anything like that when you go, i don't see you getting anything better than what you ran last time: 13.8@101

I dont doubt not having anything more than 230. The s50 pipe is a bitch.. Dave, do you remember the temp the nite you hit the 12's or the time Alex first ran the 13.8?

actually, my mistake. your numbers were corrected, but they were corrected using STD correction, not SAE. SAE generally reads lower than STD.

Probably not. I have never done any track thing at all (drag, road, auto-x) so I'd probably suck. I plan on it after some mods though!

yes that would be the 1 the. I was told by afew members that the correction factor of 1.04 is way off (meaning it was reading low). Either way to the OP hit up the track, and get some #'s.

[FastAlpine]

In my 97 S52 M3 I ran a 13.4@102 numerous times actually. I couldn't seem to break the 13.4 mark.. I hit it about 6 times. I was running with full interior and had chip, intake, track pipe, exhaust, and pulleys.

Those must have been some gangster pulleys.. That's a pretty low trap for 13.4, slicks perhaps?

Eddie, I've definitely seen the guy around, but know him personally. You should still come out, its always fun whether you run fast or not.

Anyways, I'm off, wish me luck.

PS today's low is 61, I know that should be around midnight, but if I'm there till 10, it should be in the high 70's

[FastAlpine]

No slicks.. just really bald tires haha. The car was quick for sure. Hit a 1.9 60' :)

Someone who knows what they're talking about.

I ran 13.9 @ 101 stock with an S50. The OP should be considerably faster with those mods...

there is no way the OP's car is making 250rwhp setup like it is. also, that is one of the highest trap speeds for a stock E36 M3 i've seen. is your S50 car part of an engine swap? you might have started off with a lighter chassis compared to an M3 which would yield better results.

i do agree with one part you mentioned. i think in ideal conditions and great driving, a car setup like the OP's could see traps in the 103+ range. remember, he's probably only got 15-20rwhp more than stock.

[swollix]

Hey what do you guys think I could run? I will be hitting the strip in a few weeks.
My car weighs just under 2800 lbs. , and I make 230 whp, and 224 wtq. I may also have a headers back 3" single pipe exhaust with no cats by the time I make it to the strip, so maybe 5 more whp....

I think he should be making at least what your car puts out if not more. A friend of mine about 6-7 yrs ago ran a 13.4 in s52 powered e36 with bolt-ons no cams. Its all in the driver as they say. :cool

how do you figure he's making the same power as me, let alone more? he has less mods than me on the same engine :confused

and i plan on going into the 12s without cams in my car. in fact, the only thing i plan on adding to meet that goal is drag radials.

diff bolt, eh? that sucks dude. i bet it was a sick launch too.

looks like you need to get the AA DSB. it was one of the first mods i added to my car and i haven't broken the diff bolt yet..believe me, i've tried ;).
there's also another support bracket made by some guy on here, but it requires welding i think.

[95s52]

Good call on the diff bolt. Although I'm 95% sure its not the bold thats supposed to be in there.. Speak more of this AA DSB. (Differential Support Bracket?) Happened on the first run, the weather cooled down to a mid 70 at about 7. I was pissed to say the least.

Also, any suggestions on taking the other part of the bolt out? It's still in the bushing. :(

AA Diff Support Bracket: http://aatuning.com/viewproduct.aspx?id=Product42
(strangely, i remember paying much less for it)

the other option i mentioned is mike radowski's diff bolt support. i'm not really sure where you get it, but people swear by it. this is the one that requires welding.

as for getting the rest of the bolt out, i'm not really sure what the best method is, but i know i've read a ton of threads on here about people who have had to deal with the same situation. my first thought is a bolt extraction kit. also, it might be a good time to replace the diff bushings while you're at it.

[95s52]

For now, I'm looking to replace the bolt and get the car back on the road. And will definitely invest in a DSB before my next track session. To be honest, I don't think it even happened today. A couple days ago I was coming from work and noticed a newer 350 fallow me through a couple lights and turns. After we talked at a light it turned out to be an 06'. Long story short we went at it 4 times. We did a 10mph one roll race in which he went on the 1st honk :confused and I immediately stepped on it, but not before he gained half a car and it stayed like that till 90. The rest where digs in which I got him by 1.5 - 2 cars each time. He asked if I was supercharged and claimed bald tires.. Sorry to make this into a kill section, but I suspect thats when the problem originated..

[savage217]

Go with Mike Rawdoski's DSB. The AA puts more stress on the subframe whereas Mike's mod just basically supports the front diff bolt a heck of a lot more and makes the stress on the diff more balanced. I have one and its awesome. If cars with 800 hp are running the mike rawdowski dsb, you know it is working.

Nope. You wouldn't even get close to that in an E36 with an S52. And I doubt the OP is making anywhere near 250WHP.

You fool of course he is did you see all his mods ?

[Dispatch20]

You fool of course he is did you see all his mods ?

I can't tell if you're joking. Assuming you aren't, the S50 midpipe will choke the power down a bit, I'd say 225WHP on a typical dynojet could be possible. And one guy was claiming he could trap 103-105 in the OP's configuration, which I think is a little nuts. 13.8's @ 101MPH is a pretty good run for the OP's setup.


And on a side topic, why is nobody talking about tire choice (aside from the Azenis the OP used). I have a hard time believing some of these times on stock, daily driving rubber.

[95s52]

I'm sure that this Wed. I would have ran at least the 13.8 I did with the azenis. I weighed in at 2960 :)

I pulled the diff and fixed the bolt. Confirmed the fact that it was broken for months now, but wedged itself just enough so that it still somewhat held it in place. This could explain my poor 60ft I've been getting. Went with a straight through option and got a longer more beefier bolt to replace the broken one. Threw the diff back on and about to take it out to see how it is.

Wish me luck. :D

So I'm heading out to the strip tomorrow. No new mods since my last few times out which both pulled the same exact best times. (13.834, both runs where done on fish's azenis) The traps where very different, 99 and 101 mph..

So guess, or better yet, tell me what my car "should" run with my existing mods.

Obd1 s52 (s50 headers/mid-pipe :()

I will be taking off spare/jack, rear seats and possibly the pass vader. Fuel will be at 2 gal even. I will also pull the left headlight for the "ram" intake action:buttrock I will make sure to weight the car at the scales there.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I mounted 245's in the rear on my 7.5'' rims. Much better traction, but I get a slight rub on tight turns.


I will be mainly focusing on my 60 foot. The 13.8 runs where done with a 2.3 and a 2.2 :rolleyes. So I'm looking to be consistent in the 2.1's and possibly hit a few 2.0's ;)

im at 2950 with a quarter of a tank of gas.


i have SS-long tube headers, with a 3" straight back, and only 1 muffler

trunk is COMPLETELY stripped, no spare, no carpet, sound deadening removed, tar removed, as are the rear speakers, no jack, literally nothing but the battery.



OBD2 wise: the stock headers, midpipe, and exhaust, with the hangers, and bolts weigh in at exactly 112lbs. My setup is maybe 30-40lbs.


I also have a aftermarket odyssey battery, i believe it weighs something like 25lbs, MUCH lighter than the stock HEAVY ASS OEM battery.


150-200lbs is pretty easy to take out of these cars and still make it VERY much daily drivable.






if i threw in a LTW flywheel, and maybe a CF hood i would be in the 2800`s pretty easily. With some aftermarket seats, i could even be creeping into the 2700`s with an almost stock looking car!

[jworms]

no way!


im at 2950 with a quarter of a tank of gas.


i have SS-long tube headers, with a 3" straight back, and only 1 muffler

trunk is COMPLETELY stripped, no spare, no carpet, sound deadening removed, tar removed, as are the rear speakers, no jack, literally nothing but the battery.

last time i weighed my car it was 2880lbs. i haven't weighed it since i replaced my heavy stock wheels with LTW5 ones, but i'd guess it's probably close to 2850 now. this is with a 1/4 tank of gas or less.

so it wouldn't surprise me if the OP's car was that light.

That is really fast for a lightly modded car and shows the benefits of weight reduction. Instead of adding 25-30% hp, you added half that in hp and dropped half that percentage in weight to get the same result.

Thanks, that club will not be so exclusive after you and I get in there hopefully by the end of this year :D:D:D. I'm hurting for a shorter diff as my 3.15 has me taking short naps between shifts. $600 for Dan's unit is a little pricey for me right now. I'm doing a little collective research to see which bmw's are compatible as I am not afraid to do the internals swap myself..

My buddy was also out there with me last Wednesday in a s50 325is. His diff bolt went his 3rd run in, but not before he managed a 13.8 @ 102

Worms is in 12's? I thought you never ran a 1/4 mile? Whats swollix's time? What does he put down? Whats his car weigh?

I played with the tire pressures staring at 44 psi and eventually bringing them down to an even 20.

I am excited that I'm 12's territory with my unopened motor, stock clutch/flywheel, 3.15 rear and the s50 mid-section and a Turner tune. The lack of traction into 2nd is whats holding me back from 12's. Any recommendations on a 16" wheel and a tall drag radial??

i'm jealous that you'll do it with less mods than me. i hate that i have to replace my diff, but i'm not going to get another 3.23 just to prove a point. at least you are proving it for all of us :)

[95s52]

...where are all the nay-sayers now?! :devillook I didn't say it, but we're thinking the same thing..



As far as mods go, I was pretty stocked to see the trap myself. It was very bittersweet to say the least. I went to the 1/4 two Wednesdays back to back and the first time out I went all the way in bracket and took home a cheesy trophy:redspot I didn't do any bragging to my friends, but the few guys that did see me out there told a bunch of people. The second time around there were about 15 people out there supporting me ,and my friend who broke his diff bolt, as I made a few practice runs before I wrote my dial in for the day. I was running consistent 13.6's trapping at 105 due to the severe lack of traction. Right before the dial ins I asked a buddy what I should dial in at? (BTW I hit a 13.43 @ 105.9mph last week and still had the 13.35 on the windshield from that outing, so I knew my car was at least that fast with current traction.) A friend of mine said, "put a 13.5, you are not running fast today."

I knew he was right, but I gave him a ":confused" anyways and left the 13.35 from last week. I was up against a lightly modded s2000 my first bracket and his dial in was 14.9:help I've seen him run a few times before and he was pretty consistent with his 15.0-15.1. There was a little trash talk going on before the race and everyone made a comment in our group about how slow that s2000 was. To my spectators he looked like a freebie advancement to the next round as he was running his car at a second off the time he should be running, exposing him as a novice on the track, but in bracket racing the fact that he was bad consecutively made him good. I was nervous. After winning the event the week before, I didn't want to lose on the 1st race.

As we lined up, he had about 1.5 secs out the gate on me, and as my tree was nearing the green I was anxious to be let at him. Dropping my all seasons down to flat 20psi after my previous run, I knew that I have the tools to put this car through the fastest 60' of its 15 year life. It was only the matter of being patient with the throttle. Holding the rpm's at a steady 3800 I was thinking about places online where I could get me a new clutch. The last yellow comes on and I slowly come off the clutch and I dig deeper into the throttle. I get next to no traction loss. I hook up and go about my way minding my own business wounding the gear out. At this point I assume it’s safe to stab it, but my all seasons thought otherwise. I go WOT at about 5.8k and immediately I begin to lose traction. I granny into 2nd thinking the nightmare is behind me and that I will find traction there, but those 235's where not having it. After the run my friends complimented me on my counter steering and cracked at me for thinking it was a drift competition. Never-the-less, I partly let go off the throttle to let my tires fall back to the actual speed I was going and get back on it. Topping 2nd out I made some good ground and at the top of 3rd I turned right to see the face of my pray. It was an Asian guy with spiky hair wearing okleys:cool. I was sporting an Atri. Long story short he pulls off a 14.911 only .011 away from what he said he’ll do. I end up beating my dial in by .004; thus, getting eliminated from the brackets.

^^^ Crap I didn't mean to write a book up there...

Yes sir, thats Dave's ultra-light M3 (fishforlife). He ran a 12.2 @ 112mph, and is looking to improve in the near future.

[jworms]

O.k. that makes sense, but I still which it was there.

i believe fishforlife holds that record (US spec) with his 12.2@112mph (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=468491). i don't think anyone will beat that, other than himself, because not many are willing to go through what he has to extract that kind of performance from their car

...then again, with trap speeds of basic bolt-on E36 M3s heading north of 106mph, it will be interesting to see what a full bolt-on (cams, gearing, custom tune, other misc mods) E36 M3 is capable of. this really is breaking new ground with these [15+ year old] cars and i truly believe that there is much more coming :)

to clarify, that's no diss to fish's car! he is a trailblazer in this community and has set the bar very high. i think he still has quite a bit of performance left on the table with his car and he's definitely aware of it. we haven't seen the last of him :evil2

I had a few posts in this thread last year. I suspect that anybody, including myself, that doubted you didn't take into consideration you were removing 200-300 lbs of weight from the car.

I really wish I had weighed my car last year. I had a 13.70@102 with a 2.0 60'. I would guess I'm at 3000lb even.

In any case, great times! Congrats! It takes some good driving to get times like that.

I will be taking off spare/jack, rear seats and possibly the pass vader. Fuel will be at 2 gal even. I will also pull the left headlight for the "ram" intake action:buttrock I will make sure to weight the car at the scales there.



I said I'll do it in the very fist post.

Never-the-less, I appreciate the your comments.

They key here is removing as much weight as one is comfortable with, throwing on bolt-ons, and knowing how to drag race. Should be interesting to see what people come up with ;)

I know what I can fit a 15 on the rear, but not without some work. Has anyone ever got a get of 7.5"-8" 15's on the rear? Also, any tire recommendations? If I go with the 16", I am looking for something thats 16/55 225-255. I did a quick search and couldnt find any good tires that came that tall/wide in a 16"..

Thanks for your input. I am also looking at 15"+slicks as some of the members were able to fit 15" basketweaves on the rear of out cars. I think that that would be the optimal set up because using a smaller rim will give me the opportunity to choose between getting a taller slick or ending up with a smaller diameter tire which will help me run through gears faster giving me the short geared diff effect.

Now if someone would contribute with the information of what exactly takes to fit a 15" on the rear I would be in business.

Bumping this thread. Going out this Wednesday with a new clutch and hopefully get a couple runs in with my street tires. A lot of my friends are going through a 350z trend and there should be 4-6 Z's out there. One that's an 07. Another guy just picked up an 05 CLK 55 AMG and will also be taking it out. A friend with a built Integra will come out. I will make further strides to reach 12's. Hopefully nothing breaks..

[wheresmym3]

Good luck. Isn't it supposed to be raining not to piss on your day or anything. I think when I get back from Kona I'm going to hit the track. I don't think my clutch will make it but that's what credit cards are for. I have been putting it off. I also need to get my diff bushings freshened up as they are ripped and get the mike r support welded in. If the weather is good next week I will drop my rear and tidy it all up. Anyone feel like lending me a hand for food and beer? I want to get a timeslip to compare to after the tune and injectors.

[95s52]

Dave, sadly I checked the weather after I posted that.. I have class Wednesday evenings and wanted to use this opportunity to go because I have spring break. (I'm assuming you do too seeing how you're in Hawaii in the middle of the semester.) Guess its not in the cards.. We just had pea sized hail 5 mins ago! I would love to lend you a hand. I have class in your area on Tues/Thurs. Anytime before 5 on those days.

[hpye36e30m3]

I heard times at sac are a little faster than the point.True ? Also what tires you running. I'm looking for for wrinkle side for 16 inch or 17 inch. Have a e30 m3 s52 with sunbelts and ran a 13.2 at the point on hankook rs-2 with track set up. Lookin for solid 12's out of the car, but cant find the grip. Don't want to mess around with radials.

Yes, I rid of the clutch fan. I put in a spal fan and with the help of some members made brackets to mount it on the radiator and offset it from the water pump nut.

I still have my fingers crossed for tomorrows weather turning out.

Best of luck:alright

[wheresmym3]

I have the stock 17.5# with conforti tune but am going to pick up the newer style Bosch 24# (EV6) injectors. I found a pretty cheap source and am looking at a trm tune. What pisses me off about trm though is how they nickle and dime you. At tms it's $250 for the s50 24# euro hfm tune. At trm it's extra for the 3.5"hfm and extra for the injector option. He has good reviews though so I might try it out over the tms tune.

For my rear end I already bought the subframe bushings and front diff bushings along with mike r bracket. I need the rear diff bushings and might as well do balljoints if I drop the rear end. It all adds up :(

BTW you in Kailua on the kona coast or on Oahu? I am in Kona right now but used to live in Kailua on Oahu.

[hpye36e30m3]

Here are the numbers from the run. No dyno yet but a solid 300 is the guess.Head has also been messaged over a bit. I added a tree house 3.5 inch throttle body. Dont buy it, it is a rip off. Its just a throttle body off old 5 series v8 thats cable operated and some adapter plates and a s14 throttle cable. This run was with 235/40 17 hankook rs'2 and 3.25 lsd with new friction plates installed.

Here are the numbers from the run. No dyno yet but a solid 300 is the guess.Head has also been messaged over a bit. I added a tree house 3.5 inch throttle body. Dont buy it, it is a rip off. Its just a throttle body off old 5 series v8 thats cable operated and some adapter plates and a s14 throttle cable. This run was with 235/40 17 hankook rs'2 and 3.25 lsd with new friction plates installed.

60 foot 2.155
330 5.74

Are we talking 300 crank? What is your exhaust system like? How much does your car weigh? If you aren't doing anything today, come out to the track, it looks like the weather will hold out.

I have the stock 17.5# with conforti tune but am going to pick up the newer style Bosch 24# (EV6) injectors. I found a pretty cheap source and am looking at a trm tune. What pisses me off about trm though is how they nickle and dime you. At tms it's $250 for the s50 24# euro hfm tune. At trm it's extra for the 3.5"hfm and extra for the injector option. He has good reviews though so I might try it out over the tms tune.

For my rear end I already bought the subframe bushings and front diff bushings along with mike r bracket. I need the rear diff bushings and might as well do balljoints if I drop the rear end. It all adds up :(

BTW you in Kailua on the kona coast or on Oahu? I am in Kona right now but used to live in Kailua on Oahu.

Lot of late nighters in here?? Damn I hate typing this all out my phone.

The TRM chip feels better over the conforti especially in the lower gears. I havent had a chance to test it out in all of 4th and 5th yet but she boogies. Im gonna race a 350z Hr from a 40mph highway roll soon. thatll be the test since they seem to run low 13's @103-107mph...

OT: As for home I used to live in Kailua, Oahu near Aikahi/MCBH. what part of kailua did you live in?


Hey Mark is it windy over there?? 13.1 here you come!

300 crank of course. The exhaust is long tube header into a single 3 inch (no cat) with a supper trap muffler with full 24 disc installed. Car is completely gutted but the front seats. having clutch issues right now. The Great UUC flywheel decided to back out the flywheel bolts and create an oil leak which has ruined our nice 6 puck. UUC quotes anything over 7k rpm the flywheel will back off as the motor is not balanced. Used there thread locker and torque sequence. This product should have an * for a warning. For high performance BMW's but not to Much !

Interesting day yesterday.. besides the fact that I was only able to get 3 runs due to weather, the turnout was interesting. I was able to achieve a time of 13.45@104.88. Running 23x8.5x15 slicks and some weigh reduction such as seats and boom box. Cant wait to get tuned. According to a dynojet, Im at 203whp and something like 146 tq.

Thanks for the info. Regarding Kailua, I lived right by the back gate to MCBH. I was stationed there a few years ago.

No new times for me. Made a total of 6 passes yesterday and the only one worth mentioning is a 13.3 at 106 on street tires.. 4 runs with street tires and 2 on slicks. The slicks were done for as I mentioned after my last outing on them. I couldn't get anything better than a 2.2 60' with them. On the 3rd run with them on I lit em and during the burnout I heard a loud pop and it felt as if the rear left jumped off the ground..

This is what happened.

Anyone know if Toyo RA1's any good for straight line?

Alex in the Integra did really well. The VTECH was popping to say the least. I think hes good for 12's with a tune.

I don't know the next time I will get to go out. Most likely sometime in the late summer/early fall.

106 trap is still pretty nice man! sucks about the tires. i have experience with RA1s and they aren't too bad. definitely not ideal for drag racing with their stiff sidewalls meant for turns, but they get the job done. i would say they are comparable to a really good street tire, maybe even slightly better depending on tread depth (shaved or not).

Sucks about your flywheels quarrels. I'm sure you will get them squared away. Any pictures of your car? Are you from the Sacramento area?

you gotta be kidding me! Ive never seen your car around! how many years is a few years ago? My friends house had all those vw's(mk3's mostly) on the street out of the back gate on the right side before the shopping center. I used to hang out there all the time.

that sucks Mark! but those used slicks lasted pretty good for what there were! btw, your car moves even with street tires so thats plus. Did you mention that you have the stock obd1 midsection still installed?

Thanks John. What kind of 60' where you getting with the RA1s?

Thanks Chase, the slicks definitely served theirs. Yes the car is still running that pesky obd1 mid section. I had an obd2 but I sold it thinking I was going to fab up a midsection sometime soon. My brother is learning up on welding so we might piece something together in the summer.

[jworms]

Thanks John. What kind of 60' where you getting with the RA1s?

i don't think i have any timeslips i can pull up with the RA1s, but i pulled a 1.900 with 255/40/17 michelin pilot cup sport tires (also rcomps) and those things aren't nearly as sticky as RA1s.

Thanks, good to know, but my ra1s are only 235's.. When are you heading out to the 1/4th again? I'm looking to do some racing with turns next weekend with the toyo's. But I need to fix my power steering before I go out. I have never dealt with the system. I need to do some reading :(

Im not too sure about weight. Maybe 2800 with me? Maybe a little less. I took out my rear seats and passenger seat. Which both weigh nothing compared to BMW seats, Although it did make a difference. A race against mark with full interior was deadly for me. He pulled a good car on me from 70ish to 135ish. Thats a car between us. Stripped out, he started with headlights at my door and finished dead even ~70-135.. When I think about it, maybe a hair in front of me.

[99MPower]

good talking last night Mark... we'll see how it all works out tonight :)

i had a horrible time with 235 RA1s on 17x9 wheels, but maybe you'll have a better experience with them.

i'm not going to head out again until the end of the year when the weather gets cold again. probably around november...so you've got plenty of time to get there before i do ;)

Lets see those mid 12's!!! I almost want to stay in today just to see the results as soon as you post them :D

Really? I was hoping I wouldn't have to buy another pair of 15's.. Looks like I have no choice. It sucks not having a decent track near you. I can head out any given Wednesday if the weather is good..

Mark, if you find some 23x8 let me know, ill let you get the 23x8.5 ;)

Have you checked the relay? Try unhooking the battery for 10 mins.

[99MPower]

Im running a Dinan high flow tbody with my sunbelts but only because it was cheap and I KNOW it wont hurt.

Have you had the chance to install your exhaust and dyno your car yet??

I haven't installed any of it yet and its killing me.

The sunbelt engine along with the Euro exhaust is all going in together and its pretty close to being ready, I just need another car to drive while the swap takes place.

Im def gonna dyno the car as well as a few 1/4 mile runs.

Just read that thread, nice 1/4 mile times! :buttrock
