WAT!

hellz no. it will be driven to and from the track, you know how I roll.

 

Of course. I guess petey is still asleep and chu forgot cuz he hates Ben. He's still checking the damage

 

we used to have a guy that run track with us in a Spec E30, i think 250k on the chassi. he spent more time working on it at the track than driving it. he ended up with enough spare parts to build two more cars. he got sick of it and tried to sell it, then found out there were too much rust, so he's going to crush it.

he daily drive an e30 and x5 and knows bmw, so it wasn't a maintenance issue. the car was just old and things didn't hold up.

 

I was gonna say... Where you gonna keep a trailor?

P.S. Your gonna be bored with the power after 3 events.

I think your full of it!

Pics or it didn't happen!

 

Hey marc, not sure if you ever saw that episode of Two Guys Garage when the one host dropped an ls1 into his bimmer. That thing is sick!

 

so, which car are you going to do Time Trials in next year

 

congrats on the new car. Auto x and dd the evo in stockish trim and track the bmw, problem solved

 

well I hope thats not what happens to me...

I don't plan on putting sticky tires on or adding power or anything like that. those things will just increase the chance of stuff breaking at the track. did your buddy have any of that stuff done? I just want to drive it safely at 10/10ths - bone stock (sans seat and cage) for a year or two.

Its going to happen in stages though. First I'll do the maint and get the car inspected so I can DD it a little. Once I'm comfortable that its going to be reliable I'll do an autox or two to shake the bugs out. if everything goes well the next step will be a DE and if that goes well the seats and cage will go in.

 

Hopefully yours, but I'll put my 285 hoosiers on it and run in TTS.

 

I did not see that one, but there are a lot of guys that do that.

thanks mang.

 

Petey called me last night to attend the wake for the Sandbox, but I could not make it. We don't know the extent of the damage just yet. I was told Ben went out for his second run, and the motor shut off. The immediate assumption is that the belt skipped, but we'll find out as soon as Ben gets the head off. Doesn't seem like there are any visible damage from outside. It is sad, but the motor has definitely served well, holding 500hp in stock form for over 2 years.

 

that is a testament to the reliability of the 4g63... that motor doesn't owe him anything!

I say its time to build it up and try to beat Ms. Chu into the 9's.

 

I will make it to KHC this weekend to see if he needs a hand.

 

I would certainly agree with that... I can't believe it held on this long.

 

Haha, he has enough trouble chasing my 10.57 that I ran with a bad tranny!
