Hey Guys,

Just moved into the area and wanted to get into the scene. Here are some pics of the M3. Its got the SMG Trans and a ton of Dinan mods on the car. Super sweet and drives better than the old Supra I used to have.

I am a track junkie and cannot wait to get out to Mid-Ohio. Hope to meet some people soon!!

I would throw up some pics, but it won't let me!!!!! :mad:

Welcome to CR, dont be like almost every other BMW / M3 owner I've met if you wanna stay here long. Most BMW / M3 owners Ive met are total cocks that are so wrapped up in themselves it makes me sick.

 

/rant.

 

Enjoy your stay here....

I was trying to put the pics on as an attachment... I'm at work now so i'll have to get them hosted and post a link in the next day or two...

 

Hal: i have everything but the blower on the car: software, cams, port and polished all 6 throttle boddies, rear end, maf, intake and exhaust..etc..etc. she really scoots for an inline 6.

 

Sol740: nice evo man!!! my best friend that i go road racing with has an awesome evo. he's outta chi town and he has a big turbo kit that AMS (i think, they are a big outfit) tuned. Then we both put a custom made Meth Injection system on it. Dam car flies now!!! We switch cars at the track and that car is just soooo much fun to blast around!!!

 

C6Antwon: you know i was going to say the same thing about vette owners!!! :D

Just kidding, when i track my goal is to keep up with the c5-c6 drivers with hoosier slicks, and usually i can do it under braking and in the corners, but man i need some Forced Induction in the straights!!!

 

I'll get some pics up in the next day or two!

Cheers!!!!

If you decide to go blower, I would suggest an AA over the Dinan. Both are high quality but, the AA (IIRC) is a much more cost effective route.

I agree, the guys have been getting strong results with the AA. I was thinking turbo, but i think the more linear power of the blower is better fit for what i use the car for. That whole project is kinda on hold right now, don't get me wrong i would kill to have a blower on the car, but i just moved and gotta let things settle for a bit. I'm just trying to get out to Mid-Ohio b/f the cold sets in!

What do you drive and do you have a shop?

Lol, yeah in the straights is where the power gets you. I dont track my car but I'd love to do it one day...it looks like soo much fun.

For your application a blower would be best. When I got out of the BMW scene, there wasn't a really good turbo kit available either.

 

I drive an '03 Cobra now, prior to that I was in a slightly modded 330i. I'm not in a shop at the moment, no time right now.

You gotta try it, but once you do you will be hooked!! I think its safer than driving on the hwy cause your around great drivers that do predictible things. If you ever get the itch you can come with me cause the group i run with have over 10 guys running vettes. they could give you all the info you need about tracking that car. I know your car would be great on the track, and i would think all you would need is some new brake fluid and some agressive pads and you are good to go!!

 

Hal: ya, I agree a blower would give me the smooth power to handle the corners smoothly and hunt down the other guys on the straights!

Those terminators are monsters with a bit of work! Last one I was in moved out on the hwy like no other Mustang I have ever been in. The only other mustang that is sick is that new KR but I didn't get it out on the hwy!!!

I need tires LOL....2/32 tread on the back is killing me. I am waiting for the winter though b/c I plan to put a Z06 widebody on aswell as Z06 wheels.

 

2/32 would be fun in the off camber turns!!! That new z06 is really wide and mean looking, good luck with the project.

I had a bunch of work done to the Supra and even made my own methanol injection system. It allowed me to use 93 octane, but when needed I flick a switch and the car ran like it was on race gas!! It was a blast. I do miss the power of that car, but the BMW is so much more refined and really drives much better. The supra was tons on fun and liked to mess with vipers and porsche tt's and i do miss that!
