boat racecars

neat! how did you get into boat racing?

I don't like the way these look at all. the fat blank center sections don't look right with tires on them at all.

I did a thing!



in car sounds:



and a pre-airbox dyno because I'm catching up on uploading all my car-related videos so why not:



(turn up speakers/headphones)

those are impressive numbers, but why do they seem low for a S54?

That's actually on the high side for a stock one. US M3s generally dyno in the 265-280 range bone stock, on a dynojet.

No idea what it's at now with the airbox and CSL tune, but probably not a whole lot higher since I haven't touched the exhaust.

Ive been spending too much time staring at the numbers on 328ijunkies dyno thread. Still damn good power for a E36. The dyno facility looks familiar, is it that spot at Sonoma Raceway? Cant remember the name right now, but Im pretty sure thats where I dyno'd my car

[Bimmerman325i]

Yup, same place!

I can't wait to get the car tuned for the headers/exhaust/airbox. Other dynos have that combo of parts nudging on the 330-340whp mark.

The car is an absolute riot on track with its current power level. The car's way quicker than my ham-fisted self can drive it.

Speaking of ham-fisted driving, 10 days til the CCA AutoX in Marina, anyone gonna be here thrashing around with me?

Thought you said it was filled?

I'm debating laguna now. I don't think the airbox can pass sound...

It is filled, filled up in 34 hours but I didn't know if anyone signed up early. I'll be at the SCCA races on Sunday and Speed SF on Monday.
