so went fixx fest made a few passes same track as always.

r/t .008
60' 2.258
330' 6.258
1/8 9.532
mph 75.3
1000 12.324
1/4 14.683
mph 94.27

pss9 on full stiff all the way around, 40 psi front and 25 psi rear.

the m felt strong, just kinda hard to run fast when its 95 degrees.

[Montague]

Why is the pss9 on full stiff? Shouldn't it be on the softest settings possible for the strip??

[racer m]

i actually get more wheel hop in the rear was set on full soft.

That works for live axle, not for IRS.

Thanks. Good to know!

I didn't know this thread was going on.. I'd like to add my times from a few years ago. They were in another thread but I guess that was taken over by this one.

1997 M3, 100% interior in minus the spare tire.

Did you really get a 1.8 60' with street tires? What kind?

[FastAlpine]

Yes, I had pretty bald conti sports on the back. Stock size as well on the x8.5 DSII. 245-45-17. I was pretty shocked when I saw the 1.8 myself.

teach us oh gifted one. thats nearly .5 sec faster than my 60'. what? and how??

[95s52]

i need the slip

What no trust? Dude, YOU WHERE THERE FOR THAT RUN!! AND the 13.864 that I did. That was the same day you hit 12's...

[swollix]

Yes launch details and suspension info please. I managed a 13.7 at 104 with a 2.3 60' time. I would love to see what I would trap with a 1.8. Do you slip the clutch a lot? What size tire do you run, how do you feel about the differential you have?

[FastAlpine]

The 1.8 60' was on the 245s like I said before, with the 3.46 40% lock diff (even though I had a bunch of 1.9s before the diff) and a UUC LTW flywhee/m5 clutch combo. Suspension was Koni struts/shocks and h&R race springs. The struts were set about mid range on stiffness. Really all I did was launch at about 3500 rpms and very slightly slip the clutch. She would just hook and shoot away. I raced a STI once and he had a 1.9 60'.. came up to me asking how a stock looking M3 pulled a better 1.8 60. hahaa

[95s52]

i know...i need the specifics...so i have the time now i need the trap. also list the mods if you could. i went as far as searching your name at one time to add you and i never found an accurate trap or e.t. i tried

there are two IDENTICAL 13.864's Alex ran one, and I ran the other. (I had better 60' ) He trapped at 101 and I went at 99.. And Don't worry about adding this run. I plan on heaing out there this Wed if its not raining to bring it down a few .1's

Thanks

[alexlakeman]

Fast, those are good 60 ft times

pretty much what I do, suspension is also similar, same flywheel clutch combo, I have done 1.8 60' on goodyear eagle F1 G3 235/45/17's....I think it is the dakar yellow that helps 60'

[FastAlpine]

Haha actually those runs were with the Alpine.. but yes Ill agree with Dakar being amazing anydayyy

[rpm620]

thought i would post my fastest time with my M3 and this is it with slip and mods done i broke the mods down into 2 lists. also in on this run i launched at 6500rpm

I have an updated time:

mods are the same as before save a catback exhaust. I don't know if I have made anymore power from my last dyno without the catback. Last dyno was 212rwhp/211rwtq.

Time was as follows:

60' - 1.965
1/8th - 8.630
1/8mph - 80.81
1/4 mile - 13.481
1/4mph - 100.88

My camera is dead right now, but I will post up time slips as soon as I can. I kept the tire pressure around 32psi and it was a nice 65 degrees out so I think on a cooler day and lowering the psi to 20psi might yield a better 60'. I think this car right now is capable of 13.3's and I am going to try to get there by the end of the month.

This was done on 275/40 General UHP Exclaims.

[m3chaser]

congrats...i updated your time. just about got everything out of that configuration...whats your next plans for it.

I think on a cooler day and lower tire pressure I might be able to get a loow 13.4 or a high 13.3. That is what I am going to go for on the 23rd of this month.

Next mod will be 3.73lsd.

[m3chaser]

Hey here is my time slip just for verification purposes:

[MR.E36i]

Hey

will kill the N/A E36 Records Soooooooon

[swollix]

Interesting....

[m3chaser]

i spoke with mr.e36i for awhile today and he's swinging for the fencesby the time we here in the states get out this spring the bar will be raised. its remarkable the passion he has. he has very limited resources where hes located and relies on 1month transit times for his parts to get there but yet he will soon be a top the leader board. often his ideas come at the expense of his wallet for he has no one to ask questions too...hes left being a pioneer.
as excited the turbo guys are for records next year so am i. there is the possibility of seeing 4 n/a cars making a 11 seconds passes. poor supercharged guys

he has the euro motor right? Fish what are your plans for the car? Cams and an agressive tune?
