He is a pic of my time slip. I am 320.

Here is a pic of my el'cheapo futura tires

in the pics on new england drag site it looks likt your running hoosiers
and you apear to be hooking pretty good the way your car is squating in the rear.

So your not telling the whole story.

M20, 8PSI, Ebay manifold, Ebay turbo, 38lb injectors, 215/45/17 Kumho Ecsta MX, 3.73 LSD, Megasquirt:

14.0 @ 106mph

Why do I feel that I should be in the 13's? I just read through this thread and all you guys in the 13's are running a much lower trap speed than me... ?

Edit: My car makes 235 whp and 240 wtq.

you should be a low 13 high 12 seriously with that mph

my old turbo e30 was running 13.8s at around 105. It was a fast car but not easy to get a good 60 foot with, my best was a 2.28.

Feel free to send me a camera that I can film with and I will send you back the footage and the camera. I am not hiding anything. I have no reason to hide anything. Feel free to come and watch me anytime you would like.

the 60ft time is not outragously good but the 1/8mi trap and 1/4mi trapspeed give signs of a car much lighter than your average E30.

0-80mph 9.0 sec
0-100mph 13.9 sec
80-100mph 4.9sec (to remove the launch factor)

A 2850lb E36 did the same in 11.7sec, 18.8sec and 7.1sec respectively.........so what is the weight of the thing?

[justin_l_]

I don't have a scale locally or I would go get a weight for you but it can't be that light. I have only taken out the tar in the trunk, insulation on firewall, and the pad under the carpet. Stock seats, ect. Even has the m50 which is a few pounds heavier than the m20.

[416stroker]

Fuck it your cars fast. I know your runng what you say you are, I just dont get how you can launch at 2500. do they prep your tack? In sac I know they dont. Im found I had a vacume leak for a while maybe Ill put down the same e.t you have the next time I go out. Ill take al my sht out the trunk also. Hoping to get an AA chip soon 2

[justin_l_]

All they are doing for track prep is draging old tires behind a tractor for the first 50ish ft twice a night.
BTW I have a mark d sylvia chip incase you were wondering.

[416stroker]

ya sac doesnt do shit. you launching in 2nd?

[justin_l_]

No, 1st. 2nd I was getting wayyyy too much wheel spin, tried it twice and got like high 15 second runs.

[416stroker]

We have the same motor all you have i dont is the chip the pullies and the 250 i still have the 260 and 3.73's. IF i launch at 2500 (I tried that my verry first run ever) I ran an 18. I swear I was in 3rd by around 60ft

[416stroker]

slap some slicks on and see what shel'll do my slick are way to big for an e30 so i cant do nothing.

[tonytony]

Justin, how are you getting more wheel spin in 2nd compared to launching in 1st?

My friend told me that he has some hoosiers from his civic, but I don't think that they are DOT approved so I would be able to use them on a street night. I am waiting for him to find out for sure.

Justin, how are you getting more wheel spin in 2nd compared to launching in 1st?

More wheel spin due to launching at a higher RPM to prevent bog.

OK that makes sense, now I know I'm not just crazy. Maybe I'll knock a few tenths off this summer. I can smell the clutch smoke already.:D
