Are there shorter gears for the E92? Does it even make sense to change that out when going with an LSD? If you've got a lightweight flywheel and stronger clutch, might as well right?

Man, your car is prolly a monster revving machine with that light fly.

He is now the director for Emotions (ride and drive company) and Jim Russel racing up here at Infineon raceway. When first met him years back, Emotions was doing the M experience driving programs for BMW. All over the US. Instructors at the time were Tanner Foust, Sam Hubinette, and others who now, 4 years later, top level professional drifters/stunt drivers. I knew them all before they got all famous and crap

I think you are doing pretty well for yourself man... Have you ever considered expanding Vishnu to be a complete tuning company the likes of Dinan, or TechArt? I mean I am sure getting the investment money would be childs play that is if you don't have the money already to expand the business

Here's a little video i just made trying to capture the rattle at idle (only in neutral). It's clearly obvious to other people who think that something is wrong with your car. But not obvious enough to be annoying, IMHO.

We like drifting at Vishnu!!

While Shiv is showing off, a little footage of my other completely N54 unrelated toy:

Who says you can't drift AWD when you have nice plated diffs!! 98 Model WRX with some mods... don't think you got these over there.

sounds like my M3, I dont mind it all, unless I have to back up a hill slowly, then it chatters like a mofo unless I slip it really bad.

[bulldog_yyc]

hmmm im pretty sure thats not the proper way to break in a new clutch/fly but hey, whatever right

Nice driving, Adrian!

I love WRXs. Especially proper ones (GC8) like Adrian's and not those cushy things they sell now. Reminds me of my old turbocharged '99 Impreza 2.5RS. Nice driving A!

Your RS was slow. Measly T3/T4... what was Minum or how ever it was spelled thinking LOL

But yes, i miss my RS too.

[adrian@vishnu]

Yeah that is my toy.... Used for track days, motorkhanas etc.

2.5L with AVO400L turbo, FMIC, V3 STi cams, GT Spec headers. 320hp ATW (all 4 wheels) on a Dyno dynamics dyno, and weighs only 1200kg.

Also has plenty of suspension and brake mods, racing dash, harness etc.

It is alot of fun, but not as nice to drive around town as the 135i!!

Ouch. Thanks for posting that video Shiv! I think you are the first one to post any video of gear chatter with a light weight flywheel and this gives us good insight.
