Could we, should we have a meet?

Robert, that's not valve float. The pistons would be hitting the valves if it were

[ForcedFirebird]

20secs to 200km/h.Definitely my style lol. I will have .1l less

Too bad cams are so expensive

[robertisaar]

cannot complain about the smooth exhaust note of the BMW straight 6....

^that vid, some serious valve float.... or something, half-way through watching it... DSL R Slow

EDIT: goddamn, most youtube commenters are completely oblivious to cars except for what they "learn" from need for speed games...

That thing was nuts! I've always liked Bimmers. I would love to have an E36 myself. Love dem cars...

[ForcedFirebird]

right, but it seemed a bit excessive even considering the application...

retard the spark a little more and instead of smoke there would have been flames...

The application is 100hp per hole. I would say that's pretty impressive

Either way you are trashing o2 sensors.

Still, next year I would rather be racing the 'Bird

Um, turbocharged cars do that my friend

Best if running slightly rich at/just off idle, and then when you have a fuel ratio of 12.5 and snap the throttle closed, takes the ECM a second to catch up and go decel. Much like watching a wideband at actual readings instead of delaying them to every .3 secs or whatever you prefer.

needs tuning.... badly. smoke when the throttle is snapped open and closed....

Well the damage to the Bimmer isn't as bad is I had anticipated

Have to replace the drive shaft center bearing ($30) and I'm going to go ahead and replace the guibo while I'm at it. The wheel hop I was getting is worn rear subframe bushings, they are only $30 each, so I'll replace those with poly soon too.

I was happy with the car for the trip. Almost 24yrs old, ~90k miles, all original then took it ~1k miles, 10 drag pulls, then another ~1k miles and have only $80 in damages, saweeet!

And here everyone tells me owning a Bimmer is expensive hehe. $3400 for the car and so far have only had to replace the fan clutch in 3 yrs? ($20)

Yeah, I'm slow. I know. I've had to do a lot of errand running since I got home. The footage is on my computer, I just need to get to editing it.
