yeh... 1st gear was shit as expected, but second had nothing either.. heathcote track was pathetic... I had much less traction on the strip after a 2nd gear burnout that on the street with cold tyres

anyway, i wanted to see how the car went with its street setup :ninja:

if i set the car up properly it'd be eeeasy 11's

14.9sec @104.14mph on a wet track at heathcote. Only get to do 3 runs.

Looking for a mid 13's this weekend. And some better tyres.

Hey mate,

What engine/suspension mods and what power are you making?

Cheers!

Hey mate, When I had my run at heathcote i got a return flow FMIC, POD, 3 inch turbo exhaust, 10psi, BC coilovers (6/8) and a shitty cheap tyres i got from my brothers SS v8.

i reckon il take off better with my pedders springs.

I made 189rwkw with out the FMIC at my last dyno on 10 psi.

Im gonna giv it another go and run on 11psi with better tyres. (Feels good) lol

Should make mid 13's or lower.

Update to my PB.

Heathcote 26/9/10.

RB20 GTS4 13.57 @ 105.51mph. 60ft 2.01 = crap, but i've had a 1.8 before....

motor on its last legs so won't be running again till new RB20 goes in :)

Looks like no one updates the times on 1st page?

hmm going to have to find my slip i think....but at the time I had 255 rwkw, 255's and 110 mph @ calder.

Thanks heaps for doing the list...so surprised to see where my whale comes amoungst some impressive vehicles.

what kind of 60ft did you get?

street tyres?

how many rwkw?

it'll be good to get more info, its a pretty decent time mate. :huh:

Yeah sorry mate,

Got 1.7 60ft

Was running Nitto Nt's drag radials which wernt the best (these need a bit of heat to get really grippy which didnt really help me). ive now bought a set of MT street radials which i hope are better off the line.

Was running 350 awkw.

    • 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.
