I was going to jump in on the second cruise session and you pulled out just as I got down the stairs lol

You didn't reply or call I'm coming now!

Next time bro!

Not a bad event, just needs more timed sessions in between.

Managed 224km/h down the mainstraight, could have went faster but I'm no Max Verstappen going into turn 1.

Was a great experience feeling the mechanical grip of the car and the Hankook RS-4. For a "street" tyre they sure damn grip. 

Some data from Race Chrono

Nice to meet you and thanks for the ride! Also, holy shit you don't hold back.

Full approval for the rolling anti-lag button. Even Jen mentioned the flames.

Will try and get some footage next time. Your car looks and sounds great flying down the straight in the time attack run. Don't replace it with an M3. It would have nothing on this.

And yes, I agree that more timed sessions would be great. Will try those next time. I completely missed the first one and was amazed how empty it was for the second one. Also none of the numpties on the track for those.

Just Send It lol...

Now you can understand why I constantly break things lol..

Definitely great putting the face to the name!

I was surprised there were like only like 5 or 6 cars during the times sessions. I didn't pick up my transponder (wasn't told where) hence I just used Race Chrono instead.

Haha.. M3 would have done the entire event with 1x tank of fuel. I smashed 1.5 tanks yesterday lol.

Haha I was actually thinking that. Feels good though.

 

Transponders were in the briefing room on the table. Just next to the passenger sign on.

Sure, and also could have played classical music and have the baby sleeping in the back. Kind of.

All good, it happens. I’m hoping next event mine runs, I’m just not holding my breath

It's nearly done, what you talking about? A few more nuts and bolts and you're ready lol.

Dose video and trying to break traction in a car setup for grip.

Had one person ask how on earth I had all this grip.

(I'm the car being recorded for anyone wondering lol).

Seems so civilised! The second clip that is. Is that the part of the footage your wife gets to see?

By the way, how did you attach the gopro in the car? The angle works really well.

haha she saw it, she's glad the car didn't come home on a tilt tray LOL.

I'll cut up the hoon clips in a bit, it's kind of boring as you don't get the out of car perspective.

It's suction cupped onto the interior dome light lens LOL

Did you log any data? How was your oil pressure? 

Funny enough I did not log any data, ironically I even have a datalog button too!

There is a minimum oil pressure requirement of 2 bar past 3k rpm.

No dash lights, no power cut so must have been fine lol.

Keeping up my (on average) monthly donation to the car industry and Nissan.

Should stop my engine bay being sprayed with oil (turns out my oil cap was missing a seal lol). Also the reverse switch should fix my reverse lights flickering off and on when I engage reverse.

    • Nah, you failed to pay your washer cover subscription and BMW have revoked your access.
    • Haha thanks Lith,  So it's currently working quite well and the torque reduction is setup and working phenomenal. It also got a custom torque convertor from All Fast in WA. Stall speed somewhere around 5500rpm unlocked but still with the lockup. The car went back onto the dyno after a 3yr hiatus (even with the dbw, and other mods completed in this time) managed to make ~515kw at all 4 hubs. Sean setup the Torque reduction which now sounds awesome and working well. We setup adjustable torque controlled launch control aswell.  Man what a feature. Especially when drag racing on street tyres I Managed to get out to the drags late last year and tick a huge bucket list item off of running mine and the cars first 9. Car went a 9.98 @142 Still had the young fellas car seat in the back aswell.  This was on 255/40/17 Nankang AR-1.  Currently the Turbolamik is still completing it's own torque calcs and managing shift times from there. Unfortunately emtrons can export is still a little restrictive to export the ecu calculated torque just yet but I have recently been suggested a work around that I just haven't had a chance to trial yet.     
    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
