[OreoGaborio]

my chipped eta ran a 16.188 over the summer 8) most of the guys from E3S proabably saw my thread about it ;)

[Jand3rson]

I wasted my friends 3.2L E36 M3 at a stoplight last night. I must be in the 13's 8)

Is it just me, or does it seem that since Stu got the S50 in his car, he's posted several kill stories?

I don't mean to point fingers, but Stu, for a while there, you were one of the foremost members in scolding people for street racing...
Sorry to everyone. I was only joking with Stu.

At that time, the only mods done to the car was a chip, removed jack&spare, removed engine fan, and removed power steering and a/c compressor belts. All 4 tires set to 40psi.

once i become brave engough and find some 15' rims i'm borrowing my buddys micky thompsons et street drags. and then it'll be time to launch her at 6000rpm ....

i'm scared.

lol

Wow, launching at 6th grand when you have alot of traction, good luck.

I did it once, no wheelspin at all, although I did snap the bolts on my guibo.

what exactly is torque loading?

what exactly is torque loading?

Slamming the brake to the ground then starting to rev the engine up, using the brakes to keep the car from moving at all.

hehe not literally "SLAMMING" the brake pedal though...you simply press it firmly, give a lil' gas and when you're ready to launch that is when you mash the gas pedal and release the brake simultaneously.. if you don't do it right, as in give too much gas while on the brake...you will start to smoke yer tires :twisted:

Josh, I am totally cool with pulls when the conditions are as safe as they can get on the street.

Dropping the clutch at 6K and hooking up is murder on your E30. Doing that stuff often will break parts so fast. Ask me how I know.

Parts of an E30 that get ravaged in a clutch drop:
-motor mounts
-tranny mounts
-guibo
-center support bearing
-driveshaft U-joints
-differential input flange
-differential side gears
-rear half-shafts
-rear subframe mounts

Not worth it.

last couple times i was at the track i couldnt launch any harder than 3 grand otherwize i would spin like crazy.
below 2500 dropping the clutch would just bog and get a terrible launch.

2750 launch was perfect for me, great hook-up. unfortunally after doing that 4 times i broke both motor and both tranny mounts... it sucked.

[Spaz]

well i'll take the chances in breaking something. you got to pay the price to play the game guys.
