180mph run in my E30 *vid*

[Pinepig]

oh wait... kosei-1 wheel... good reading there champ.

It may be stupid to race on public highways with traffic, but are you saying you would never jump on it when challenged by a high-end car just to show them up in a 20 year old BMW? (Im not saying 180mph pulls here)

No I'd never do it in a 20 yr old BMW, mine is 35.:hitler:

It was dry when we started but it must have just rained were we let off.

Oh ok. Carry on then.

[Restoman]

Are your tires even rated for 180 mph?

those radials, maybe. The car? hell no.

[e30frosh]

You have some rust by your tail light. Smooth that out a tad and prolly hit 187 wit character. That is a serious machine you have there.

[fiftytakedowns]

its not like Good n tight hasnt contributed anythign to future M30'ers or Turbo M10'ers anyway....

pretty much successfully reinvented the wheel, and is showing us the limits, so that we don have to.

[Adrian_Visser]

Big fucking deal.
Just because a member spends couch change on a car, and has been on this site from whenever doesn't excuse this type of shit. It's still fuck twattery.

If it actually happened.
Comon..180 in an E30?

Fuck off noob. I'm not condoning street racing but respect your elders.

if has 359rwhp as stated witht he proper gearing it is not totally out of line. I pulled my Dinan E24 M6 to 170 and im guessing that car was 300 at the wheels and alot more aerodynamic. I do agree that 180 is a VERY tall order in a car shaped like a brick, but I will not doubt 160 for minute. To go one step further speedometers are very inacurate at high speeds, but again with the power stated there is no doubt the car hauls ass!

That 359 number was back when it had an M10 in it, he has quite a bit more at this point.

more....fuck me! that has got to be one scary car. I would love to see a build sheet on what else is done to the car safety wise. Brakes, Suspension, aero...what motor is in the car now?

this is HD right or blue ray ?

I wouldn't use a speedo to gauge 180mph

Maybe 7000rpm * 60 minutes/hr / 3.73 / .81 * (15 + 2*.60*235/25.4) * 3.14 / 12 / 5280 = 179.82mph is sufficient?

Motor is an M30B34 and turbo is a Holset HX40 if memory serves me correctly, I think he put down about 500whp?

[briansjacobs]

180-160-150 who cares, the car is fucking sick! still curious what else is done to car other than motor

Turbo'd M30 hawtness.

Safety? I think there's a reason he doesn't run at sanctioned tracks.

I WISH I COULD EVEN DO 180 on anything i own. These guys are jealous they dont roll that fast...
