EvoTechnik's Santa Pod quest

[peppernick]

Great day out guys. If only the weather can get chillier and Digs could get more than one run........

Started out for some of us from Dig's abode.....

A little convot break on the A509 (cannot believe that we have at least 5 on-board navigation systems and we still couldn't find the Pod with ease :o )

Mit's ;) (Our first run was classic bro, 2 M3s red-lining in 1st and both cars still stationary :o )

Teddy's (Damn, with that rear wing and front spoiler, all that drag and he still beat me :mad: )

Harsha and Roma (Roma actually beat me in a 330 vert!! :o )

Diggy clunk-clunk Digs....(well what can I say other than....IT'S TIME TO SCRAP HER IN FOR A CSL!!!! :D )
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/peppernick/SantaPod027.jpg

Fas our man...(his subwoofers scared the shit out of even the most hardcore drag racers :D )

For me, the M3 was too much to handle :o :o , I should have registered to drift instead of drag. Damn! on 3 occasions the rear end of my M3 sent me straight to the men's after the run for pants changing :o

We should most definitely do it again in summer when it's dry and traction is better. But it was a great meet nevertherless [ok

[Tin]

Hi Nick,

Nice pics! yep way too slippery to get traction man, just not on, definately going to look into getting that sorted... rear diff, wider wheels..better cold rubber, anything I get to help my poor driving :rolleyes: [hmm

Was a great meet, loadsa fun, but way too cold!!! some lovely machinery today!

Cheers
Tin

[Shuriken]

Looks like you had a great time, would loved to have been there. :(

After seeing the "convoy break" pics I think its uncontestable to say that EvoTechnik is here - and here to stay. :D

Nick, do they have a track-side toilet for your needs or did you have to open up your own? lol..

Some beautiful machines there though, very nice..

Shuriken.

[Afif]

lol yea theres a toliet stop on the way back to the que after your race [crackmeup.

Also for the record i wasnt having none of it [jam. I fondly remember a point when i left everyone on the M1 :p. Almost beat Fas and that was my second run :D. He taught me how to burnout and wheelspin :cool:. Not that it needed much effort in those conditions!.

I had to leave early tho. Who won the E55 v E55?

Also get the video clips up!!!!! Thats what its all about :D. Ive got lotsa webspace (2 gigsish) and 60 gigs of bandwidth if anyone needs me to host :)

Other than the fact it was REALLY col and it didnt start till 11:45 and i had ot leave at 1:30 it still rocked!!!!!!!! Great jokes we had [cool . Also YES durgeshs girlfriend drives better than him [crackmeup.

[peppernick]

I had to leave early tho. Who won the E55 v E55?
E55 ;)



The sickest car there today, as if the RS6 is not enough...

Check out his boot :eek: :eek: :eek:

can somebody say 800 horse [bang.

Yea but was it 'our' one or the newcomers ;)

[Shuriken]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

He could get to the moon and back with that lot!!

Shuriken.

Video is being edited as we speak (part 1, version 1 that is)

Afif, I'll need you in about an hour dawg. And what do you mean "almost" beat me ;)

Video never lies.....................

[peppernick]

And what do you mean "almost" beat me
....quote don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning unquote ..... :D

Ok i didnt but i was closer to you than that merc i kept getting put with :p and if the video says otherwise we all know why your editing it ;). 5.6 litre i think he said the merc was [hmm . I reckon had i gripped quiker than you id have taken it :D.

[Stock323iSaloon]

Still can't beleive I had to take my mother-in-law to freezing cold Wisley gardens instead to going to the Pod with you guys!!! Looks as if you guys had much fun out there. So how many runs did you guys have each?

[peppernick]

It's a whole day affair for £15. Pretty good value but the drag strip was really damp and slippery. Summer is going to be awesome. You can run as many times as you wished, some from the group managed more than 10 runs.

[Afif]

slippery is an understatement. Grip was like luck. If you get it youll win :D.

[h4pry]

Really great pics. Would have loved to have seen it in person...


Can't wait for that video :)

[mattj]

great pic's i have some that il post up later

great meeting everybody and putting faces to names etc

doubt theres much rubber left on my rims after doing 18 runs lol resulting in a 14.093@104.27 mph.

had some good runs with teddy but traction(or lack of) was a major problem as was the dsc cutting in(and im never using launch control again!)

dont think my bro will get over losing to the stock mcs !!

a really good day bring on the next one....

few pics for now:

[peppernick]

dont think my bro will get over losing to the stock mcs !!
Tell him that Arianne was wearing high heels too ;) He'll be gutted! :D

[mattj]

Tell him that Arianne was wearing high heels too ;) He'll be gutted! :D


all day he was sayin 'imagine if i race a MCS and lose' and what happens !lol

big power's no good if you cant get the grip- i think that applys to most people today!

[Durgesh]

Ots and I here,

Just got Back, car is outside my house, going to dealer in the morning.

Putting aside the difference of 60+ Bhp, It was a Girl !!!!!

Go Ari. [jam I am sure she will be back from more in the summer, so the Mini guys better get practising.

Well had one Run, against Teddy, and Won that..... I tihnk it took him 21sec, however that just killed my car, BMW Tech, said the Diff is gone, the GearBox is gone and probably the drive shaft. [bang As he so eloquently put it to me, "It's F!*K'd".

Pictures up soon, and video up some time this week, once we edit, and put all the best bits together.

Next one in the summer, and I will be there doing more than one run, and maybe in a different car.

Durgesh

[BigFas]

First video will be up within the next 15 minutes or so.

This is just using my material. I will collate from everyone and put a better badass one together ;)

[Afif]

like a certain person said today... 330's just cant handle superchargers. Either that or superchagers cant handle the cold :p.

[Mits]

Excellent day out :)
Thanks to Digs and anyone else who actually made it happen [bow

Another day arranged for the summer would be great, maybe Nick will have actually learnt to drive his car by then :D ;)
Nick a novice in his new car and me a novice on the strip (no not that type of strip!)
Thanks bro for taking it easy, next time we'll be a lot faster [cool

Maybe next time we can have M3 Cab vs SMG vs Manual vs CSL [cool

....and Chelsea won the Carling Cup..what a great day all round. :)

[peppernick]

330's just cant handle superchargers
Both can't handle Digs....he needs a CSL ;) ....... :D :D

[BigFas]

VIDEO IS HERE

http://www.uksupercars.com/santapod/EvoTechnik%20lo-res.wmv

Right click, save as.

Due to time, I had to compile in lo-res. Hi-Res version is 48Meg and is compiling as we speak. Will put that up in due course :D

BTW, the last 40 seconds are NOT WORK SAFE! You'll see why

[pete]

Awesome day guys...

ari really is a speed demon, think she had more runs than any of the guys!!

I'm still basking in the glory of leading an M5 in my mini!! (ok it may have been only for a few seconds but WOW what a great few seconds!)


Def need to go back in the summer when maybe i'll have something a little bit quicker ;)

ps
Fas- got a quality pic of u in the mini, u fit it so well!!!

[Afif]

few seconds? i could have sworn you practically beat him [crackmeup.

[Ali]

Guys,

Just got home... What a great day! I'm about to retire to my bed as I think that I'm suffering from major sleep deprivation!

That E55 is a seriously awesome car... especially considering that it was VERY VERY slippery out there today... I can't imagine the embarassement it can cause in the dry!

Having thought twice about taking my 318i Valvetronic out, I was so happy... After my first attempt at a run against Fas where I just ended up wheelspinning at the line for 2 secs, runs consistently started falling in the 16.2-16.4 second range @ 85-87mph...

Very chuffed as you can imagine! And head on head with the 330CiC... (+/-0.1sec)!

Overall a great day... Durgs, hope your car returns home soon!

Ali

ps. Here are some pics! :D

[peppernick]

LMFAO at the video :D :D :D ....AWESOME STUFF!

Tin you got http://forum.e46fanatics.com/images/smilies/owned.gif ..... :D :D :D Too much BHPs :cool:

[Mits]

Ahhh so thats where all the power went on my first run....on the tarmac :D

[Durgesh]

Yup Loving the Video Bro, really want the Hi Res Version! :cool:

Durgesh

[BigFas]

Hi res version is compiled
get online, I'll send it thru

[uberbmw]

LOL @ that the Mini
that Merc E55 is f00kin nuts

great vid Fas

[Har5ha]

I can say...i had an awesome day...even thought I didn't even drive!!

Next time I will actually get out there...Roma and I just found some recruits for our range...Found a 330 auto and 325...as we were missing those!!

Might go to the pod in the next few weeks and have a few practise runs..so I can kick ass in the summer...!

Great day out...except that i froze my ass off!!!

Ali....hats off to u..for those times!!!!!

Durgesh....am with Nick on this...CSL at the pod the next time!!!

[whizzkid11]

Hey Guys,

It was Great to finally meet up with you guys...unfortunately other commitments and probs with the car meant that I couldn't hang around too long or go racing - but will definitely be getting it fixed for the next meet!!

It was nice to see all the mean machinery in action while I was around, but the freezing temp meant I wasn't able to socialise with everyone!!

Anyways the pics I took are HERE (http://195.172.152.75/santapod/)

Nice VID Fas - lets have Hi-Res one please....

Afif, apologies but I forgot to give you the trim I have for your beast - its in the back on my car....

rgds

Was! :D

[Ots]

Great time all 'round people....

Next time we plan this in the winter.... more gloves and porta heaters....

Anyone who was there will know exactly what I'm talking about.....

[rossi46]

nice pictures and nice video guys, especially the last 15 secs of the clip. :D
shame i couldn't make it, too early for me plus i couldn't get out of my lovely warm bed.
hope to go there in the summer time.
i'd fancy a bike vs car race. [cool

[Ali_]

It looked like allot of fun.... and sounds like it was even better than the pics and movie suggest... well done team freaken awesome in fact [cool

[lee330sport]

Awesome day :D Just a pity i couldnt run :(

Cheers for the tools Afif [ok

[Tin]

LOL @ I did catch up and overtake the mini around 100mph.. :p but fair play to pete..just goes to show, bigass low profile 19's ain't good at all for this.. :eek:
front wheel drive and all wheel drive ruled the day imho, the mercs were good, their traction control was incredible.. ;) Audi V8 was a killer man.. :eek:

combo's i tried which all failed.. were 2nd gear start, traction on/1st gear traction on/switching off in 2nd. 1st run in before lunch, was traction all off, and it was all over the place... it was also my first time at such an event, think i definately need more practise.. [read

lol.. just goes to show all that power, and just can't use it :( bring on the summer time runs... [ok

but a great day in total, except my little bro forgeting to bring his license! [bang

[peppernick]

nice pictures and nice video guys, especially the last 15 secs of the clip. :D

No way man, those drag bikes are all sub 10 secs in those conditions. One blew up and dumped oil all over the strip before myself and Mit's second run....sent me sideways in all gears.

I've got a video of the bikes in action, need to host it ;)

[lee330sport]

What time did you get in the end Tin?

Tbh the only car that really impressed me was the E55, what a monster.

Surprised the FQ400 didnt get better times either.

[westside]

man that looked lik eyou had a major fun! what did mystic do when racing digs did he miss a gear?

[peppernick]

man that looked lik eyou had a major fun! what did mystic do when racing digs did he miss a gear?
We are all in gear but whether the car was moving or not is a different story :(My first run with all the smoke at the start line I've already maxed out in 1st :o )

[Ots]

Crew...

don't worry about hosting... I'm at home today (you bastards had filming in the cold [bang ) as I'm not feelin 100%.

Sent me whatever you need and I'll put it onto the usual place.

Ots

[MichaelC]

Great day, even if it was absolutely freezing.

Sorry I had to cut and run but I was already late by the time I left.

Hats off to the awesome E55 Merc. Seriously quick car with very impressive launches off the line. It's just a shame that I didn't make more of a fight of it with my worst launch of the day. My decision to short-shift into second clearly did not pay off. [bang

See you on the twisties at some point!

Regs,
Michael

[Tin]

quickest time I got was 14.9 against teddy, need to work on my reaction times too :( in my bro's audi s3, I got 14.7 on the first run, practise definately makes perfect... [hmm enjoyed it though, will be back next time in better weather to do [fight

might even sell up and get an rs6 :rolleyes: lol

[MichaelC]

After my first attempt at a run against Fas where I just ended up wheelspinning at the line for 2 secs, runs consistently started falling in the 16.2-16.4 second range @ 85-87mph...

Yes, I think many of us were losing a good two seconds off the line due to the very poor conditions. You can have 600 bhp but if you don't get it down it becomes irrelevant off the line.

Obviously, to hone a decent launch, particularly in those conditions, you would need to slip the clutch a great deal to prevent wheel spin. Not an attractive proposition.

Tin,

Too much power through the rear wheels mate. Your result in the S3 confirms that!

To have found a good (leaving perfect aside) launch on that track would have required substantial slipping of the clutch. Not so much of an issue for you with that big, meaty UUC kit but with my puny standard clutch it would have been mechanical suicide.

Cheers,
MC

[Durgesh]

I would have been happy doing that, if the rest of my car was up for it.

My first and only Run, came out to be 15.01, I know I and she would have only got better through the day.

:(

Anyway I'm off to BMW now, to work out the damage.

Durgesh

[Har5ha]

Surprised the FQ400 didnt get better times either.

apparently he blew out his gear box after i left...and apparently so did the 360!!

I think next time we go..am gonna have to beg, borrow, or rent...a really quick car!!

The question is..how do i get my hands on an sl 65!!

[BigFas]

T'was a sad day for casualties

Ivan's desparate lonliness on the track
http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/6651Dsc01048.jpg

This made me laugh. Someone who thinks they can do burnouts using an F1 gearbox, deserves this. Wish I could have been there when he told mummy and daddy!
http://photos.e46fanatics.com/data/500/6651Dsc01047.jpg

But all is well that ends ok

[alpina527]

Sounds like a real good day. Any chance of a full list of times?
Durg sounds like he's going to have an interesting day trying to convince the warranty dept, that the blower didn't cause the damage!

[lee330sport]

:eek: looks like there were a few casualties.

Better take a spare car next time ;) lol

[BigFas]

Hi Res Video available to download now

http://s21.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=35OS7JT5GY2GW0PZTXE18EBKJK

Keep this one, EvoTechnik forum only for now, make sure everyone on this site gets it first.

It's 48Meg BTW so be warned. Once I get access to all other available clips and photos I'll make a badass version which we'll use at HIN

[Afif]

lol damn i missed so much!!!! Makes me think i did well if a rari blew itself up :cool:. Neways im off to into college for the last 30 minutes of my morning lesson [crackmeup. Was crazy tired!.

[lee330sport]

Nice vids [cool Pete owned Tin [crackmeup

Better not show the GF the Hin Vid or its out of the question for me [bang

[Dirty Black]

Nice video. . . espically the last part [banana

[BigFas]

Funny how everyone likes the last part ;)

I think I was still wired from the day last night and needed to see some tata's myself, and obviously shared the love with y'all

Once I get footage from everyone, will make a "U" rated version for everyone

[mysticm3]

guys it was a great day despite that fact that it was cold and slippery on the track. Great matches with few of you guys also, the next time I go I'll be there with a 11 seocnds M3 ;) lol

Can't blame the weather entiely, after all the practices we had at Trax (Nick knows what I am talking about lol) we should have done better but I think Nick was just looking after his baby with new tyres n' all haha

The first run I had with digs scared the shxt out of me, 1st gear no move, second gear car rattled so badly finally got off the line but it was too late, took me 22 second or so to reach lol My best time was 14.32 at 103mph, SMG M3s got a perfect launch everytime [bang I managed to do 8 runs in total, I think my new rear tyres are foked now :(

Mits and Nick match here:

you need Apple quick time to view :D

[Ali]

I was just thinking....

Why wasn't there a 911 Turbo there? I bet that would have made some people jealous! Including the E55!

[peppernick]

Vish should have brought the X5 4.8i, it'll put a lot of other cars to same :cool:


My best time was 14.32 at 103mph
:mad: :mad: My best was a 16.04 at 105mph.......I've got tons of thread left on my F-1s ;). To scared after my 3rd run, car started drifting sideways when I engaged 3rd and 65MPH :eek: :eek:

[Mits]

My best was 14.7 at 100mph....I only did two runs.
Next time i'll put my 18s back on and do a lot more.

[Afif]

lol vish put enough cars to shame in the E55! I spent most of my time on the M1 / country roads near pod behind him and dayum when he put his foot down he just went. Even if i shifted down to 4th and floored it still couldnt get close lol. Ali was getting a bit restless behind me aswell ;). I was pushing it... just wasnt going :p.

Did anyone get a pic of Ali's racing mod ;)?

[MichaelC]

I would have been happy doing that, if the rest of my car was up for it.

My first and only Run, came out to be 15.01, I know I and she would have only got better through the day.

Durgesh

Very sorry to hear this.

[toffer325ti]

I've got tons of thread left on my F-1s ;).

Is that tread or thread Nick ;) From your 1st gear redline burnouts http://forum.e46fanatics.com/images/smilies/burnout.gif i should think its thread :D


I had to leave early (pick missus up from work) and because they were late in drying the strip i wasnt going to pay £15 for 1 run. Plus the car is in the dealers tonight for a couple of days. They reckon the head needs to come off :eek: Sticking valve :(

Nice to meet a couple of new faces.

[scorcher]

Great video fellas! I'll try and be there in the summer time for your next bash.

And Tin - what are you like.... :D

[Ali]

I'll post some pics of it up later on this evening when I get home...

:D

[Tin]

lol..cheers Dan, next time i'm gonna try 3k & maybe 3.5k launches, only did 1.5k yestaday
those concrete blocks look mighty scary when your trying to go straight!

[peppernick]

Is that tread or thread Nick From your 1st gear redline burnouts i should think its thread
8mm to be exact :D .....That 2mm must have gone with that burnout considering they have only done 700 miles :p

[Har5ha]

Roma's best was 15.7!!

next time..gonna follow in ali's footsteps and do the 'racing mod' :D

[lee330sport]

So whats this damn racing mod [hmm ......... :)

[mysticm3]

I also raced the RS6 and it went like a rocket ship :(

I need a 11 sec M3...I need a 11sec M3...I need a 11sec M3

[Afif]

So whats this damn racing mod [hmm ......... :)

ahh youll have to wait till he post the pictures up :rolleyes: .

[peppernick]

So whats this damn racing mod [hmm ......... :)
Strip yourself and your car clean ;) ....oh make make sure you empty your bladder too, good 500g there :D

[Tin]

I also raced the RS6 and it went like a rocket ship :(

I need a 11 sec M3...I need a 11sec M3...I need a 11sec M3

yep, I went up against him too, he had dis-abled all of the nitrous, but was still running around 600, he said he normally got mid 11's on a good "dry" day. :eek:

[Ali]

So whats this damn racing mod [hmm ......... :)

Ok Guys,

Here was my secret.. but to be honest it didn't work out for me yesterday... I thought that the weather was going to be dry so I thought that i'd lighten the car up a little..

But it all kind of backfired on me since the extra weight over the rear axel would have aided my traction in those ridiculously slippery conditions...

[Stock323iSaloon]

good idea but lucky you never had a puncture on your way home:)

After hearing about some casualties, I'm getting paranoid simply because I just can't afford to repair anything :( BTW, when your car breaks down whilst racing in Santa Pod and then u tow it to a dealer (assuming he doesn't know that it was raced), is he going to check the data in the ecu to determine whether you 'abused' it, hence not covering on warranty? Can the dealer refuse warranty because you 'over-rev'd it a lot'? Insead of Santa Pod, you can be a bit generous with your right foot in normal roads as well so I'm just curious :confused:

[mysticm3]

My friend has a 11 sec E46 M3 in Taiwan but I am not going to go into details here lol. If money is a bit tight then basically by changing stock items to the followings you should get the M3 to do a good 12.8-13sec

After hearing about some casualties, I'm getting paranoid simply because I just can't afford to repair anything :( BTW, when your car breaks down whilst racing in Santa Pod and then u tow it to a dealer (assuming he doesn't know that it was raced), is he going to check the data in the ecu to determine whether you 'abused' it, hence not covering on warranty? Can the dealer refuse warranty because you 'over-rev'd it a lot'? Insead of Santa Pod, you can be a bit generous with your right foot in normal roads as well so I'm just curious :confused:

Thats what the rev-limiter is there for. The only way you are going to do serious damage is to miss a gear ie, 3rd gear redline - into 2nd = bang. But you could easily do that on the road too.

Dont know if the dealer can detect what the car car has been driven like by reading the ECU. Only the obvious signs of valves and piston clashing if the car has been seriously over-revved.

[Afif]

yea but the idea is one of us tows you to a petrol station and you say you broke down ;).

[Ali]

Or take the car to the local pub... hehehehe.... :)

I'm not talking from experience, am i Durgesh?? :p :p

Guys, I was just thinking of how we could get all of our 1/4 ET's up on the site... it would be a cool comparison... any ideas anybody??

[BigFas]

Does anyone know what the verdict is on Dig's car?

[Afif]

the only time i actually got of mine was from fas. 19.7 and tbh i think it was my best out of the 5 runs i did. The others sucked cos i was playing with how to take off [bang.

[peppernick]

Does anyone know what the verdict is on Dig's car?
She's at Scotthall in Temple Fortune. They haven't had time to look into it yet.

[mysticm3]

it just didn't make any sense because I am sure it's not the first time Digs drove the car like this lol [bang

but quoting from da man himself:

1. Car is making some very funny Vibration sounds at Mid RPM.. a little worried about that. Not to mention it does not go into gear for 15mins in the morning. have to rev while clutch is done to select a gear.

lol

[Mits]

Hey Teddy whats up with your first run....overdo it with the load pedal :D

Shame about Digs car, but we wont be saying that when he beats us with his csl. :eek:

[Ali]

Guys, my 318 wasn't that far off the pace of your m3's @ 16.2 sec...!

We should go again one day, when its slightly more wet, no? :D

[churchwa]

You guys seem quite convinced that Durgs will be getting a csl, i am not so sure you know. ;)

[chuckys3]

csl's are for people who have too much roti and saag .. [situp so it even's up the power to weight ration hahah i think i need to borrow those nitrous cannisters from that rs6.. or even better.. vish put them in ur e55 daym i bet you'll beat all those motorbikes then haha

[BeemerBoy888]

Looked like a great meet guys, when's the next one planned for :D :cool:

[Durgesh]

Next main EvoTechnik meet will be @ HIN. That is one not to be missed!!!

But I am sure will have a small one at ACE before that though.

After HIN, we can do again at the Pod, when the weather is better.

just watched the video there... who was slagging the ferrari driver when he was racing the merc? quote " i bet he thinks he's cool as fuck"

who made the vid?

shame is was a bit wet looks like a good day except for the weather... might take a drive down next time and join u guys.

[Afif]

[crackmeup. Another quote a certain somebody said during the day 'why do all the ugly blokes have the rari's' [crackmeup.

[mysticm3]

You guys seem quite convinced that Durgs will be getting a csl, i am not so sure you know. ;)

noble on the way? [read

[Ali_]

Noble hmmmm this is just me and a little off topic.

If i had an every day drive and i loved track work then i would get the Noble for the weekend red green light brigade and the mighty hot laps around the track.

If i didnt have an every day drive i wouldnt touch it.... Not saying that a CSL is an everyday drive cos i really dont no, but i have the feeling thats not the Nobles domain.

Best of luck with the repairs D..... hope its not as painful as it sounds.

[Durgesh]

Thanks Bro.... Waiting to hear the outcome over the next few days.

Power bhp (kW) at RPM: 750(560) / 6300
Torque lb-ft (Nm) at RPM: 700(950) / 4800

0-62 in 2.8 sec

[Ali_]

Thats the thing from the 50 cent music vid isnt it....what the hell is it ???

[Durgesh]

Seleen S7, was invite to test drive one.... only one reason I did not go.

I had to fly to the US to do it... [hmm

Stunning Car.

And come on If we going to do that, it would have to be an Enzo!

Durgesh

[Tin]

wow..that is very nice! [ok

Durgs, if the diff is totally gone, you gonna go for a aftermarket uprated one?

[Afif]

wow..that is very nice! [ok

Durgs, if the diff is totally gone, you gonna go for a aftermarket uprated one?
was the diff going that bang you were on about on the M1?

[Durgesh]

was the diff going that bang you were on about on the M1?

It could have been, or might have been something else.

BMW has my baby now... so lets see what the Dr. Says.

Durgesh

[lee330sport]

We should all do the gumball next :D

Durgesh...if your swapping your car soon, where the new wheels going ;) ;) ;) ;)

[mysticm3]

Enzo doesn't do 0-62 in 2.8 sec lol Saleen is a V8 twin turbocharged beast

almost forgot that digs is getting new rims so it looks like that he'd get the car repaired and keep it a bit longer? [hmm

[rossi46]

i am sure the new rims can go on for his new ride no prob, unless his definately getting the Noble.

[alpina527]

Who is it from here that lost a 1/4 mile shootout between an E46M3 and an E36M3 on Sunday?

[Afif]

well while i was there i didnt see no E36's at all [hmm.

[Tin]

well while i was there i didnt see no E36's at all [hmm.

at the end, around 4pm there was a estoril blue e36, which was fishtailing in and out around some barrels where everyone was parked :eek: think he may have been alittle [bang or high on something other than octane :mad:

Think he may have had a race against a black 330ci (digs' friend i think). [hmm

[Ali]

He raced a guy called Kunnal in an e46 m3 convertible smg....

Kunnal beat him first time round then bet the guy again second time... and got absolutely caned...

That guy was such a hustler...

[vish]

my best in the e55 was 13.053 ....... couldnt get into the 12's due to lack of traction! im quite curious what the x5 would do in the wet next to the other cars....

[Durgesh]

What ever happen's car is getting repaired to full status, everything is going to go on it. IE new Clutch System, New Suspension, and the New Rims, New Bushes, and New Mounts. Give it a good clean, go to HIN!

Then I will decide what I am finally doing with it.

I will try and sell car as a whole, if that does not work out, it will be parted off. EvoTechnik Crew, have rights to parts first, then will go to you guys, and if anything left to the outside world.

Lee, If she does get parted out, I am sure the Rims will be the 1st thing to be grabbed up. Consdiering they are only made to order.

dude i googled the 1/4 mile stats for the e55 and it says 12.6!. Amazed you got so close in those conditions!. The X5 would have probably been killer tho :cool: .

[Tin]

my best in the e55 was 13.053 ....... couldnt get into the 12's due to lack of traction! im quite curious what the x5 would do in the wet next to the other cars....

Vish, what was your terminal speed for 13.053? the audi against me, got 12.515 with a speed of 116.04! :eek: that was quick!

[lee330sport]

I think i saw Vish get a terminal of 120mph, not sure. But i would say it would cross the line faster than the audi. 4wd cars tend to get better starts but are slowed down from the extra weight of 4wd. I dont think i saw 1 subaru get over a 100mph terminal.

[Durgesh]

a 4wrd car with 500bhp is going to be slower than a rwd car with 500bhp, simpily because the loss through the drivetrain is so much more.

Durgesh

[lee330sport]

Yeah, friend of mine has an Evo 7 with 300bhp and used to get slower terminals than my Zafira GSi with 300bhp.lol but he ran the 1/4 a second faster.

[churchwa]

Guys, this is a stupid conversation.

Weight, gearing, wheel size, displacment etc etc will all have massive impacts on terminal speeds.

My sccoby used to kick ass over an M3 up to about 100mph, but then the M3 would catch up, that was all down to the gearing, as they are designed to be quick 0-60

So why is it a stupid conversation, we were just discussing different terminal speeds for different cars [hmm

Yep, I was just curious to what the terminal speed of the RS6/E55/M5 were on sunday's pod mission, tis all... all of them can go the wrong side of 180mph if unlimited and given a chance... [ok

Be nice to see em on a 2mile strip to see if the E55/M5 could catch an RS6 after one of those ballistic starts.

[vish]

terminal speed was 114.7.... i reckon i could easily have caught the rs6 as by the end i was gaining on him...... that is until he uses all his nitrous!!!!

[vish]

and the estoril e36 did beat the e46 m3 smg... his friend was going around saying my friend has an old m3 and he wants to race u for all the money in your pocket.... so kunal raced him without betting and won, then challenged him to a rematch for £20... needless to say he got whupped and had to pay up!! i wouldnt say no to that big group of scary looking mother f'ers!!!

[lee330sport]

Same terminal speeds so you must have been catching him because he was getting better starts.......man your E55 is a beast. [bow

[vish]

it is a monster... unfortunately does not belong to me!
just found 1/4 for my x5 4.8, says 14.5...... not bad for a 2 and 1/4 ton tank!!! but the car to have ... sl65 amg is 11.6!!!

[peppernick]

What I would love to see are some heavily modified Skyline GTRs doing the 1/4 mile.

[lee330sport]

Seen loads at ten of the best in york last year. Awesome seeing a car cover the 1/4mile in 10sec [bow

Sl65 [jam [jam [jam

[Silver]

i saw tat car been rip apart by slr....in top gear....quote frm jeremy clarkson "wats tat blue dot"!!!!! tat 1 fast auto :cool:

[Defector]

Just watched the video, looked like a great day. Pissed off i couldn't make it. :(

Shame it was so wet, the FWD cars showed the Beemers up a bit! Still, looked like a hell of a lot of fun. I'll have to turn up to the next one, like to see how my E36 would fare against some of the newer stuff! [ok
