the driver was hitting the limiter before he took off and creeped up forward... then the official sort of lost it and told him to move back... then he revved dumped like he just stole the gtr went left right left right until it looked like he touched the brakes and ended up smacking the rear end mostly on the other side.. maybe he shit himself and got nervous on the track :kiss: does insurance pay for LEGAL drag racing...

and btw CRAKED why werent u racing ur car!.. remember i was going to swap u the bonnet and boot at safs.. i own that white r33.... saw ur car in the car park looking lonley.. shouldve been on the track champ!

Insurance will not cover the damage even though he asked the question of the officials at WSID. :kiss:

The official didn't lose it at him at all, btw. He directed him to roll back through the beams as he had crossed them with his front wheels.

lol, from up top the official looked frustrated because people dont realise that they have a certain mark where they have to stop, thus why the chrismas trees have the 2 top lights that tell u to stop, they should have a sign that displays STOP WHEN THE 2 LIGHTS FLASH or something,

and i think it would be awesome if they had a big screen tv with replay action :kiss:

yeah big screen action reply would be a winner. considering each race only lasts 12 seconds or so and it takes a minute or two between runs some nice replays would be cool.

Hate to say it but this tool deserved what he got....

Before even entering the water area he was bouncing off the limiter for easily 10sec, then the official says oi u arent even in the water so he drives straight through the water and gives it another bounce off the limiter just incase he forget where the redline was.

Then he throws it in reverse to backup to the water but realises its 4wd so wouldnt do a burnout anyway so heads towards the line. Stops a full car length short and bounces on the limiter again ready for the green light. Starter official motions him forward and he rolls straight past the line, then reverses back and slowly rolls forward again whilst sitting on the limiter again.

The starter did his usual pissed off start by not waiting until both cars were set (gtr was still rolling) and soon as the 2nd pre-stage light is up he hits the button and the gtr driver decides to let the clutch out. Does a few left to rights and throws on too much opposite lock, front wheels bite and send him sideways towards the opponents wall (whom would have been shitting himself as much as the gtr driver) and takes out his rear end.

No not even 4wd will save dickheads.

:blink:

    • 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.
