Big Tom with $300 FMIC vs a lot of fast cars. MOVIES!

Nice Runs, how much power is your car making? Some of those races vs the other 335i's look like they are standing still. You must be running a fair amount more boost.

I don't really understand this type of racing.. is it from a roll? A set cone? We don't have anything like this in the states or at least not where I live.

Are the other 335i 6-speed manual transmissions or automatics? Looks like fun though.

Its from a roll 50kmh to 250khm, you start from a set of cones . Its much kinder to the car if you intend to run 50 pulls in one day and removes driver error a lot more than starting from a dig.

Nice runs, thanks for posting. Guess your budget IC works..lol. I certainly never doubted it for a moment.

Sevak,

Sorry for the OT fellas.
Have any more pics of your heat shield setup? Looks good.

Big Tom,
Your car super quick. I can only hope I get that fast. Have many failures pushing your car that hard?

stealth-twntrbo · 09-14-2010, 11:53 AM

Im jelous, I wish there was some air strip here in the midwest where a bunch of us could all meet up and do some pulls! Anyone on here know of any where, we should find a location and set up a national event!!

That's a good question for Tom. Any minor/major issues thus far?

The car has ~38k miles on the clock, and has been tuned almost from day one...
I haven't had ANY car related issues so far! (Except from all the trouble I got due to the CRAPPY RaceCooling IC I just replaced

)

I got the turbos replaced for a year ago, but that's only because I know the BMW tech... (Nothing wrong with them, but why not get a new pair when you can?

)

I'm also freakin' impressed that the stock clutch is still going strong with 100% perfection!

That's good to hear. I have a 6-speed manual as well. Did you swap out the clutch delay valve? Can't go wrong with the new turbos, my old ones rattled like no ones business. Just had turbos replaced as well. The new mitsu's are nice compared to the early 06 turbochargers.

Yes, a MCV is a must if you'r asking me. I have had it for quite a while.
