here it is

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/BAC0B0F...0B297B03720.htm

looking at the video , i noticed that on two corners the car was a gear down on when we were there last time, so car the car should do a great time on a completely dry track with some temp.

was good to meet you guys and next i be there the night before fo a drink.

cheers russ

F*CK me DEAD RUSS!!!!!!!

I didnt even realise the clutch was used on the up-shifts... from trackside it didnt sound like it at all.

Hats off to Mark and yourself... i cant get over how quick and precise the gear changes are!

Top work indeed

Great work Russ/Mark. Your car was working sweet. I'm a bit bummed about all my drama's but I don't reckon I'd have got you guys anyways. It's pretty hard to gauge how quick the car could have been given I did the 1.07.8 with the stuffed shock and low boost but I'm not sure I could have got down to a low 1.06 even with the car spot on.

By the time we got home we noticed the other rear shock was gone too and another of the tyres was flat! It just wasn't my event.

Loved the track however - it really is a drivers track - so I'll be keen to come back again and I'll try and bring some more competition too.

thanks guys,

Mark is a good steerer.

the car is heaps of fun to drive, really addictive! mind you a bit out of control in the wet at speed.

yeah bit of a bummer alright, Andrew i'm sure your beast would be right there.

cheers Russ

tops weekend!!!

we want more vids and pics!

well done russ - that lap was good stuff!

:(

Giant top vid and that gear box is the bomb. It was mostly dry when your car ran but top driving and top time even though got a little ugly one two spots so more in it. Would love to put this vid on our website??

PS Your carbon air guide has arrived.

Hey its not so much that its just a close ration gear box - the 4.3 diffs are helping a lot as well.

My order is now in for some 4.11's.

It is a DOG BOX, no clutch on changing up so much faster chaing up and a bit faster down also saves a second or two overall or more on most tracks.

thanks again guys

yes it was mostly dry but there is definately more time to be had as there wasnt a great deal of grip and no temp at all. A 1.05 is coming, the car was literally a gear down in two spots, 2nd instead of 3rd on turn two & the run down to the hairpin & slow onto the mainstraight & out of shape.

no probs putting the video up to J.P, & thanks please send the air guide!!

cheers Russ

the dog box is fantastic,

we never change gears without the clutch though as the video shows, i want some life out of the dogs.

also the change from 4.11's to 4.3's(gts4) didnt have the effect we would have liked (wouldnt do it again). not enough of a change shouldve been 4.5's for tracks & motorkhanas, but also hurts time on the strip.

I run a R32 GTR Nismo diff centre with R32 GTS-4 crown and pinion 4.375 and NO front diff and a little peaky and traction probs and when she goes I think I will go to a 4.1. GTR with no front diff is NO WHERE.

By the way Jeff the manager from Oran Park was telling me yesterday day they are drumming up a Time Attack event later this year and my use the short tight north circuit or otherwise south. Only problem is it may not be just jap cars and Porsches come we are no where. Such as well set up GT3 Carrera cup although they may be in different category but still not as good being second fiddle. If tight north circuit a rexy or EVO would be looking good. Eastern Creek Zed would be right in there although won't happen as no good for veiwing and COST plenty.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
