Very nice. Not too shabby. What tires? Snows?

[Fidhle007]

Snows all the way! Azenis will be here soon I hope.

[Larry e30]

Damn I thought S50s would be a little quicker

Damn I thought S50s would be a little quicker

he would be quicker if he didnt fall asleep on the line.
almost a whole second quicker he would be.

im not knockin ya, learning the line is a tuffy & it is where races are won & lost.
have fun!!!

It should be, I'm losing a lot of time shifting and there's no traction in 1st AT ALL. I'm also not sure it's running quite right yet... I was consistently faster than an S52 318ti that weighed in at 200lbs less than me so I figure I was doing something right.

R/T isn't counted in 1/4 time though, I just wanted to get a clean launch and try not to spin too much.

[RedStar240]

my launches sucked ......

[FLUTE007]

I had a blast and will be out again with some tires that grip. It was good to see a couple of e30 guys out at the track, next time i would like to get into the 14s, any one have any idea how to get a little more power out of the eta. and we need to get a couple more guys out there.

I need more info on your "uber light eta" that runs 15.4. What has been removed and mods? I don't know about you guys but I think a solid 15 second run with the eta is pretty good!

[FLUTE007]

Mods are turner chip, 3.73 lsd, free flow exhaust. As for whats been removed? sunroof, carpet, glove box, center console, hatshelf, rear seat, front and rear bumpers, all sound proofing, grills, high beams, etc. etc. i got it on the scale at the track and it was 2450 with me in it, im pushing 250 for a total of 2200 lbs. some good tires should bring me to about 15.0 (maybe) ?

[PiercedE30]

Fidhle, what did you launch at?

[cferb]

I went last night and got a 15.58, but a clutch drop launch... 3.91 LSD, chip, full catless exhaust and CAI. One run in in 3 1/2 hours
