Auto
[quote=smithy;507083]Sorry ppc mag is there on the Saturday only but should still good though[/quote] Oh well we might as well call it off then???
[quote=t5 pete;507127]Auto[/quote] Is it totally standard? seemed to go quite well for an auto.
Its just got a rica map and the stainless exhaust
[quote=t5 pete;507151]Its just got a rica map and the stainless exhaust[/quote] Goes well enough for just a remap and exhaust then and looks pretty nice considering its colour. lol
[quote=LiamT4;507153]Goes well enough for just a remap and exhaust then and looks pretty nice considering its colour. lol[/quote] low to mid 15's then
[quote=The Flying Moose;507138]Oh well we might as well call it off then???[/quote] Lol whatever
[quote=t5frankie;507208]low to mid 15's then[/quote] Probably. I still think a mapped auto s/v70r could (just) brake into the 14s, when i got my 15.1 it was a very hot day and the car weren't pulling very well top end. and i didn't powerstart.

[quote=t5 pete;507338]LOL i hope it doesnt beat the 850's time[/quote] haha don't worry, they're to heavy and with an auto the 60ft are very slow, as the car don't really move untill the turbo comes in properly (as you know) and when your on the 1/4mile that feels like an eternity for the damn things to come on boost. lol
very true i also do feel some one lighter than me would get a better time in the 850 or if i actually learn how to launch the car the times will improve but spinning the wheel up to 60mph doesnt give me the best start lol

I want to turn the traction control off when i run, so i'm hoping its grippy.

[quote=t5frankie;507378]but that was the only 15.1 you got mostly 15.5's ans the s70 is alot lighter than the v70's[/quote] Don't know how much the v70s weigh, but i'm sure you could knock a tenth or two off with a powerstart, just depends if your prepered to do it. Come to think of it, i don't think i'v seen an auto v70r (2wd) do the 1/4mile.
matt will racing too in his silver s40 t4 and i will be there car or not
Just rebooting this meet let's hope the weather is kind to us it's about time

This will the first time down the strip for the bmw, half the season gone and still not got it down the strip.......bloody weather.
Only one week left. Seems ages since i'v done a 1/4mile. Wonder what the tank will do??
My car is up on axle stands with no exhaust or supercharger at the moment, hope to get it all back together by monday night ready for the signwriters on tuesday.
Well hopefully your car will be ready, be good to see it go up the strip.
chance to be the best meeting of the year with dean and james' cars ready and i can't go........gutted
Shall get a list going? Moleadrian T5-R (hopefully making a weekend of it)

That's all I will be doing mate
turbo oil seals gone on mine, but I'll still run :)
The weather looks ok this weekend so hopefully i'll be able to get the car looking decent, aint been done for ages so needs a lot of hard work, but need to get it shiny for when it goes down the strip.
[QUOTE=smithy;525128]That's all I will be doing mate[/QUOTE] thats all you ever do these days lol
That could get smokey, and not from the tyres, but fair play to you.
[QUOTE=t5frankie;525351]thats all you ever do these days lol[/QUOTE] Can't remember the last time i saw his 940 run?

If you want dean to wax you James then I'm standing at the other end of Avon park lol
Wobbly got 13.97
well done wobbly, I see Dean had a 13.353, best I managed was a 14.8, just don't know what's wrong with me, but on my last run I fitted the suspension locks and had a great launch, then the bloodu cluch gave up the ghost :(
Wow, Wobbly now in the 13's :) And Dean has now matched me, I really need to get the car fixed :) and back out there

But dean, bloody hell that car shifts, doing 110mph over the line is damn good.
Just had a quick look at the 1/4mile leaderboard, i was so close to being quicker than a standard s60r. Stribo managed it in 14.43@93mph vs my 540s 14.44@98mph, damn it! lol Nevermind, i was going a bit quicker over the line though ;-)

Well done all, it was a great day with some great racing, and as for deans car well thats amazing ( the misses though your was incredible), james car is showing that its capable of much more with a little practice and I'm improving with a 14.9 and then 14.7's when running frankies and james ecu's. If I could have played with them for a couple more runs then I could possibly have shaved a little more off the times, but it's giving me plenty of ideas for next season. Thanks Again guys. :crazy:
Great day of racing - just managed to get everything hooked up just once & rolled in a 13.967 @ 104.1 feeling a bit sun burnt but very happy with that. I put all my results (I had 3 x 14.2 all with similar speeds). I found the extra time in the 660 to 990 which surprised me somewhat. Most of the time it takes me 2.5 seconds but for my PB I did that section in 2.1 seconds. Perhaps my 2nd to 3rd gear changes are letting me down? Hopefully I will be able to find a bit more torque further up or perhaps change out of 2nd a bit earlier?

Congrats on all the good times people, So what happened to the 940? It never showed up?
Yes it did mate look at pics and vids of Avon on this section ,he didn't do too good on the strip due to not launching properly but it was his first time on the strip mate.it happened to me the first time I was on the strip but practice makes perfect and he will do a lot better next time

What were his terminals like? Would be nice to know for an indication of power.
He didn't bother flooring it after he fluffed the launch mate so he only done a 16.3 at 85mph
