Idaho BS thread in the PNW

I don't think I'll ever own another bmw car

Maintenance is such a pain in the dick, my dad's 7 series sat in shops for months at a time

 

lol look at me back there just all over the place! i had a rough go with the f40... it is a handful (in the game) and I almost always only drive on the Road America track since I've driven it in real life

 

of course, if I had a fuckton of disposable income for a toy, I sure as fuck would want a new one though. hahaha


he had a 750il with the v12, that he had bored out.Amazing car, but everything liked to break. a lot.

power steering line exploded on the way to school once...that was fun
windshield wiper system broke
brakes went out once.... hahaha

 

There is lag, but not bad. If you mash it from 3k revs its at or just under a second to full boost. There is a mild kelford cam in it and it redlines at 8, but we only take it to 7k when on the track cuz it falls off a bit that last k and then we miss the torque curve on the shift. It's also 2.3 stroked over 2.0 so its got gnartastic torque thru the rev range, not just top end.

The oil thing is interesting... We originally were starving the turbo, then got bigger line and now I think it cant drain fast enough. Or piston rings are going and we're just getting blow by when the pressure gradient changes after full boost to blow off.

And yea, we could easily tune it down, in fact I think there is still a flash for 91 on it. No meth injection, it's not a drag car.

all this talk makes me really miss the car!

 

lol nope. Yea we'll have to "party up" again when I've got some more time!

 

Yea mic's are more fun than typing shit out... I sent you a badass 71 GTR and a copy of my dads car let me know if they come thru with the tunes and all the parts?

 

Yea you probably increassed the feed oil line but didn't increase the drain line enought. really though a -10 AN JIC line for the feed should be be more then enough, need a -8 or -6 drain. Maybe even a -4 depending on your oil preassure.

yea thats the bad part about ultra boost. You go through rings a lot. No biggy though. easy to replace..well..sorta..

It sounds like if you just tuned it back to 91 and turned down the boost a bit (yes i know ) you could drive it more on the street.

i bet the 2.3 is fun a hell to drive..

and meth isn't for drag cars lol meth/water injection is awesome for any boosted vehicles. Its just a nozzle about 6'' from the throttle body that only lets a 50/50 mix of water and meth inject when under boost. Its great for turbo setups. Helps protect the engine more and adds about 40-50hp or more.

 

Oh and also..only BMW i want to own now.



1M coupe..for reals.

 

Dude..like we care what gets talked about in here..haha

yea its a beast of a car. I truely think it could have trumped the 3m if it had been fully unleashed.

not a huge fan of just a 135i though personally. Id rather get another supra or 300zx

 

I would do nasty things for an m1

 

Hey Ben. I could pick this up for you over xmas..

 

There is no tune on that GTR... Just fun to play with. My dads copy car is tuned well though.

Lets play name that Ferarri There's a bunch of vids in my youtube profile of our evo but this one fits the supercar discussion! Turn your speakers up and Loudest car at the track that weekend for sure!

HA!

funny.

point it out and offer 500

 

I need to get my real camera out and get pics... this barely does the rock lights any justice! I need to install the most rear ones and then it will be finished.

 

You got to drive road america?!?!

Driving the kink flat out would make my pants tight.

 

Man thoes are some big ass mulies!

 

Fricken lotus elise would be my choice.

 

Thanks Ben.

I kno I've said this before but I luv Chris Harris. For those of us that will probably never have an opportunity to drive supercars, he brings them to life.

 

So T4R decided to consolidate their stickies thread am here is the name of it.

 

Man there pretty cheap for a nice track car..there's some snobby looking asian chick that's been driving one around our neiighcorhood for the last few months...she smokes in iit and everytime I see her I iust want to pull her over and slap her ass!


Oh yes. ... how you doin bro?
