May be OK on this one.... what has happened to Perth's endless summer..... more like endless winter this year....

I think that it's the melting of Antarctica.... it is actually making the Southern Ocean cooler and we are getting more "Albany like" weather....

It's just Mother Nature trying to level up mankinds stuff-ups.....

Does drag racing count as a Green sport?

How many trees do we have to plant to cover our 1/4 mile runs?

Does anyone really care?

:) That's about as green as I get!

Was the aristo running a V8 4WD, or the 2JZGTE? im guess 2J, or he wouldve had YOU off the line...? 3L twin turbo 6... if toyota made an aristo wagon or similar, itd be aiiight.

M35's have a MUCH bigger rolling diameter than C34's and legnums, right? the can run HUGE wheels.

yes, yes you are :)

15.5ish to 15.1ish from memory.

both of those times seem fairly slow to me. Not talking about anyone's driving either - just slower than I would've imagined these cars would do. I believe people have managed somewhere just over the 15s mark in a stock s1 stagea?

15.1 isn't that quick for the SS either. So its a credit to you that your heavier, 2.5L engined wagon came within .4 seconds of a 6L V8 powered wagon. I'm not sure how to compare engine sized (probably impossible) but we can work out that at stock boost, your car will be sucking as much air as a ~3.8L n/a engine, give or take some, but certainly less than the big 6L v8. and yet you would have the same if not more power to the wheels.

I still say congrats :)

2JZ, it did a 14.1 that run, and i did a 14.6 as i turned the boost down instead of up, lol.

but the next run against a skyline i did a 14.2... so not that much quicker

Mitchy, as for the legnum, you meantioned earlier that you got 14.2 in a "dead stock" legnum and here you mentioned raising the boost? Just out of interest, what is stock boost and what did you set it to in order to get the 14.2. Thats a pretty impressive number :) Do legnums have adjustable boost as standard? or do you have some mods - eg, exhaust, boost controller.

Also you said "not that much quicker" - I'd say .4s is quite an achievement just by adding more boost.

whoops....

the only mod is a manual boost controller. :)

stock exhaust, stock intake, even a crappy compliance spec cat and filter!

stock boost is about 8psi, and i had it set at 12psi, but it tapers off to about 10psi higher up (I need a EBC!)

the 'not much quicker' was referring to the aristo... i expected a 3L TT sedan to go more than 0.1s faster than a 2.5L TT wagon :)

the SS wagon was also a VY, so it was only the 5.7L LS1, i'm not sure what they are supposed to do, but i know the LS2 powered utes are supposed to do ~14 flat (my old man wants to try his against the legnum :)), so a LS1 wagon doing 15 sounds about right.

aristo just beat me, but i flogged it off the line. :)

...beat a skyline though :)

yeah the rims on that M35 were big, but they suited it :)

By going the larger rims has that increased the diameter of the wheel from the standard 18 inch wheels? If it has this may have effected the launch off the line?

    • 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.
