Thanks guys, yeah thats correct. HKS25/40 on about 18psi making 262rwkw. Id like another 20 or so to really punish 3rd gear though...

1) obtain 2 x20lt jerry cans

2) drive to hoppers crossing united

3) fill said jerry's with E85

4) continue driving to campbellfield

5) hand car and keys to rob and danny @ creatd

6) watch car on dyno making 300rwkw

7) punish 3rd

just realised it says your first time in the vid description, was it your first time out drifting at winton, or in a legal environment in general?

nice save on that big tank slapper at the end of the first vid too

Well it was my 3rd time on a track in general. Before that i did the drift beginners day at sandown and before that i took my decently setup VN wagon to Calder on one of those Wednesday drift nights...

lol yeah pretty full on toward the end of the straight...

Im bl**** BURNING that my camera died towards the end of the day at Winton. Cos toward the end of the day i built the courage to use 3rd gear through the 'S' bends & down the whole straight and its not on camera! Some serious, scary speed is gained down that straight in 3rd... :P

lol yeah the vn was fun... LOTSA fun!

Had shortened pedders sports rider shocks all round, custom 600 pound springs, white rear sway bar & front strut brace, nolathane bushes, manual 5spd 3.8ltr, mini spool with 4:11s, exhaust, bucket seat, 17inch BBS's and thats about it!

Had no dramas torching 2nd & 3rd gear at calder lol.

sweet, car sound nice too but it sounds like your in the wrong gear, maybe 2nd? bump up to third through the esses and slot into 4th coming onto the straights, it will extend your munji's (short) into oh-munjis (longer).

Yes definately not the right gear... it was my first time on a track with that car (besides the sandown drift training day) so I was a little scared of 3rd to be honest! But that was only for the 1st half of the day untill i built up the courage in the afternoon! Was about 9799800 times longer/better/smoother/faster.

Ive been practising 3rd gear a fair bit so i definately wont be using 2nd again at the next track day... :thumbsup:

    • 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.
