    Everyone must look

    A few videos I found. Some Bob Tunnel videos-king of BMW autoxing
    Alex in his bad ass E30 on 285's (note the two wheel action)
    A FSP national champ 2002
    An XP LS1 M3
    And a couple others.

    Funny, Tunnel owns the shop, "Bimmer Haus" just outside of Denver where I used to occasionaly take my iX. Those guys are great, very fair and knowledgeable for those of you in the Denver area. Dave Stackhouse is the iX guru FYI.

      Yeah Bob knows his shit for sure.....

      Nice thing about his stuff, most cars when they hit street prepared and up in the classes start getting ratty. It's expensive enough for the go fast parts and most people don't have the time/money to maintain the appearance...

      His cars always reminded me of what a factory backed autox car would look like. Super clean. And super fast.

            Little too much E36 content for me....jk.

            Thanks for the vids.

            I like to see drifting vids, hoping I can do it too someday...In my spare time, with my spare money.

              Amazing skill right there. Some of those cars bounce around like crazy...and is the last video really a Merkur XR4Ti?

                Yeah Alex has some shock or spring issues that I would look at. The car should not bounce like that.....If you notice in his video the back end bounces alot towards the beginning of the run also.

                That Merkur was fast as hell it seemed. Not sure where they finished though.

                That little 2002 has 275/35/15's on it.

                      nope. Entire intake from CAI/airbox all the way to the head is unrestricted.

                      You are even allowed brake booster and master cylinder modifications/substitutions. Which would be required for an ITB setup.

                          I'm in Denver area and see Bob and his wife often at the local autocrosses; he's a great guy and really really fast. BimmerHaus also does great work.

                          Good find DSP74!

                          EDIT: Damn, should have finished watching all the videos. The green car with the body kit's also a local car here that devastates SM- it's a 328 with the Eurosport Twin Screw, MA Shaw body kit and 335-345s. Stupid quick, father and son drive it.

                          EDIT 2: Where's the XP LS1 M3? The Tunnel's car's a Eurosport Super's OBD1 M3

                            Your right I didn't get the video for the LS1 car. Oh well it wasn't that fast anyhow.
