OBTW... if y'all think the twisty road in ForcedFirebird's link was impressive... you should spend a weekend chasing me through the NC mountains. :-p I could show you some awesomeness... both for the view and the extreme twistiness.60v6's original Jon M.Comment

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.I may own a GTO now, but I'm still a 60V6er at heart.Comment

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)

Um, turbocharged cars do that my friendOriginally posted by robertisaar View Post
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.
240kph = 150mph

right, but it seemed a bit excessive even considering the application...Originally posted by ForcedFirebird View PostUm, turbocharged cars do that my friend

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

The application is 100hp per hole. I would say that's pretty impressiveOriginally posted by robertisaar View Post
Either way you are trashing o2 sensors.
Still, next year I would rather be racing the 'Bird
