Callout to Whoever Wants A Piece Of The Bimmer On Pump Fuel?

**4eyedbox** · 02-25-2009, 11:02 PM

Rafa-

What did you upgrade your rear brakes to? The reason I ask is b/c I'm wanting to get some DRs for my M3 but don't know how small of a rim I can run.

And how is that slave cylinder push rod holding up for ya?

I jumped from regular 3series brakes to M3 brakes. The set-up is cross/slotted rotors + Hawk HP Plus and front cooling ducts.

I think you can go either with a set of E30 M3 wheels to run 15" DRs, or you have to run a 16" rim; the 16" out of the 328 sport should clear it just fine.

In the other hand I wanted to use 17" DRs, so I could just swap wheels w/out readjusting my coilovers every time I want to run DRs.

Jordanmd88: What are you running?

**RJ's325ITS** · 03-05-2009, 10:54 AM

**Member31410** · 03-05-2009, 02:29 PM

I might just come out to Commerce too then.

**b0ki** · 03-05-2009, 03:12 PM

I might come out too.... if i get my clutch in on time

**OnURleft** · 03-05-2009, 04:27 PM

I vote Jordan will beat everything but the Evo in the 1/4

**swollix** · 03-06-2009, 12:17 AM

Hopefully nothing is broken! I would love to come, but my RTAB situation forces me not to. Someone get vids....

**Jordanmd88** · 03-06-2009, 10:10 PM

Jordan's Car needs Another Head gasket, I found that out today While changing spark plugs and then noticed I was almost out of coolant....

It's odd because I've got a great leak down and Good compression. Hell this motor only has 6k on it

I'm going to try and get this shit taken care of before SEDD

**Jordanmd88** · 03-06-2009, 10:15 PM

Quit breaking your chit. When are you planning on working on it? I might be able to come by and and help, hang, get in the way, or at the very least tell ur mama jokes.

**Evolunchbox** · 03-07-2009, 03:45 AM

Rafa, will u post the videos?

**swollix** · 03-07-2009, 10:16 AM

Rafa what wheels are you running with the slicks and what slicks do you have? You didn't have any problems clearing the M3 brakes did you? I want slicks, but I need to make sure I can fit them, and I will have to raise the car everytime I want to use them...

**ivansnow** · 03-07-2009, 11:11 AM

videos?????

**RJ's325ITS** · 03-08-2009, 01:03 PM

The whole camera mounted in the windshield to video tape the runs alone is still a work in progress.... I cant use a my regular camcorder (not small enough) so I was using my wife photo camera.

So I have 10" of footage with maybe 1" of usuable footage but no way to edited....

Does anyone knows how to edit .MOV files????

Windows Movie Maker is not working as a side note.....

I will try something else tonight..... I got to go work on the car, I dont know what happen but when I was setting up my boost controller for race gas, something must've failed....

After that I was not able to hold boost.... the bost will go to 28 then drop to 15 then to 10psi

I'm thinking boost leak or a my ebay WG failled.... I'll probably will be on the look for a Tial or name brand WG soon

DOWNLOAD a video converter that converts it into .wmv format, then open it back up with windows movie maker

Am I allowed to post one of the vid's from Friday? There will be more once the "someone"

gets their shit fixed!

**Jordanmd88** · 03-08-2009, 06:06 PM

Soon

**RJ's325ITS** · 03-09-2009, 11:33 PM

Ok I say forget about my footage.... And as a side note do not use a Photo camera to shoot video...

I tried a couple of free converters and all of them suck... and most of the converted the audio only...

I did the small clip I had when I ran Lankhoss the 2nd time (video sucks ass

), the recap goes like this....

He had a passenger and I was alone
I was on pump 1bar (14.5psi)

1st race he takes me by 2-3 cars can't remember exactly

2nd race I brake boosted to 5psi, he is almost 1/2 car behind me and I pull 2-3 cars from him....
PS: this was my only 2 runs from that night before my WG started to crap out...

**Lankhoss** · 03-10-2009, 03:31 AM

Wow, I don't really remember this too well. Was this on our way down?

Also, I only see one race in the video? I hear the honks at the beginning, but don't hear your engine rev?

What PSI are you at on race gas? You say 14.5psi in that video (I think what you were running on the way down), and your sig says 18psi? I'd be down to run again. Would be cool to see with both of us having passengers (or neither of us), and when it's warmer out and I'm not spinning all over the road. Pretty sure you'll get me on race gas, but I'll run ya anyway.

Yes this was on the way to Mexico....

I couldnt turn the camera in time to record the 1st run. and on the second race I think you something happen in front of us that took a little bit to line up. But I think you said that when I was brake boosting you were not able to hear the horn.

I have not dyno the car on race gas but the numbers on pump are as follows:

400whp @ 10psi
476whp @ 15psi
521whp @ 18psi

The race gas pulls were a waste of gas since the car started to lose boost bad.... In the last run Vs the white evo and the yellow evo; boost was going to 25 and then going down to 10 to 9psi... it was bad I have a new WG on the way...

We'll do it again latter and hopefully the weather will help with traction issues.

Yeah, I can't even hear the horn in the video lol

I think what happened in that run was there was traffic in front of us and I didn't think we were gonna go, then I saw you take off and I just chased you down.

I do want to line up again, even on race gas.....because I don't feel like we ever got a perfect run in the whole night. I don't like using "I was spinning" as an excuse for anything either.....but when it's cold out and you're on street tires, there's not really much you can do. If I spin when it's 70 degrees out, then I need to change something with my car

Anyway, I'm sure we'll get more chances in the future.

So far I haven't run out of injector nor fuel pressure, so I good for now but thanks anyway.

Lankhoss
Sure I'm pretty sure we will, I had a blast that night even with the car conspiring against me but ohh well

I guess that is the nature of the beast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLB5lJi9mpg

I dont want to pay for a converter that I will use 1 time, so is there a free trail that will let me convert 10min of footage ??????

Ian
the its stock shit is just pure madness don't lower your self to their level..... I've been the most open guy when it comes to my car mods.. it is what it is, nothing more nothing less.... Some guys are just to ignorant to understand what is going on around them (Thacker + circus)...

Tacker told me at the meet "I wasn't invited" and I just LOL at him right then... after shaking hands he ask me why I do not support his site... I was man enough to tell him straight to his face "The Drama - I got better things to do"...... So we all know he will talk shit about you, me, his best friend, his mom, his family, so take it like grain of salt... do not listen to those fools.....

At the end he will end up using the ones without character for his own amusement

Bottom line we are there to have fun and release some stress not create more

Lol at the "you wern't invited." Sounds like he is butt hurt because he can't admit defeat and be an enthusiast, instead of a "hard core street racer." If the man would act like a man and share his passion and love for cars with others then his site could be VERY successful.
I just ignore it, i've been lurking for about 4 years now and it's all funny to me. It's even funnier when these guys learn basic driving skills I learned when I was 15 and working at XM. "I learned this thing, I think it's called tripple footing (lolo)" and that sort of stuff. It makes me smile when i'm drinking my morning coffee.
