More Scummers

21st nov 06 18:00 -21:00 Venue B&Q car park nr Majedski Stadium 5 zeds last time

one of my lads in the workshop is rubbing them down and masking off as I type.. going for the gloss black.. mind you it wont match the B pillar thats carbon fibre Looks good, GM looks great

I don't know why everyones so down on BM's, I had a 330ci which wasn't too shabby and then an E46 M3, which was a great car, just let down by the flappy paddle gear box and its inability to stop without waarping the disc's

Can't be any worse the the standards system's inability to suck air

Hey, don't shot the messenger

Ah, but I get some and not others, so I may watch a thread and only get 5 out of 10 posts?

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 570 Weight without Driver (KG) : 1290 Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 448.95 0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.35 0 - 100 (Secs) : 6.78 60 - 100 (Secs) : 3.43 Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.38 Terminal Speed (MPH) : 129.57 Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.28 Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 131.03

Nice stats, nasty spoiler http://www.fastdrive.org/p/content/cont ... ntent.1137

Yeah I know, I just like to pretend I'm right

Could you have a map that runs at 1000 rpm for car thiefs

Or like people who cover their sofas in plastic Mentalists

ALL theory performance figures quoted on the car statistic lists are calculated using the Letstorquebhp.com formulas (calculator), none of them are from any given road test. All the figures are THEORY only and the aim of the site is for a fun comparison between all types of performance cars, standard or modified, and mainly in the UK, although some imports are covered. 1) The Formulas used and statistics shown on letstorquebhp.com theory performance web site and calculator, predict 0-60mph, 0-100mph and ¼ mile times (with the ¼ mile terminal speed) for road legal cars on road legal tyres. To check the accuracy of these figures we recommend you compare them to real life road test figures that you may have come across in magazines and sites. 2) It also calculates a separate Drag ¼ mile (with terminal speed and not in relation to the road figures shown) to show the slightly quicker time on a well gripped Drag Strip approved surface. This figure should be compared with real drag strip times achieved at official events (and not the road figure mentioned earlier). They do not allow for none road-legal drag slicks (which can be up to a second quicker on the 1/4mile if not more depending on the drive type). 3) The formula’s only use three items of easy obtainable data to produce the figures, these are Flywheel Power (BHP), Kerb Weight (KG) and Drive type (4WD, FWD or RWD). Formulas do not take into consideration other factors that could also affect real life figures, e.g. torque, gear ratios, aerodynamics, air density, temperature etc, these are not easy obtainable. 4) The 0-60 (and 0-100) quote takes into consideration an average amount of manual gear changes. In real life times can vary if an extra gear change is required before reaching the quoted speed. 5) A “throughâ€

Although that said my z does seem to have better throttle response and acceleration since the bits were done, but them it could be the noise + me wanting it to feel better

Good call. I would say it's always highly doubtful that you can achieve claimed HP gains with NA mods, some yes, but their claims are always a tad excitable

Yeah theortical, but about as accurate as you will get

I'm interested, how are the numbers looking?

Get one shipped in from Hong Kong, save yourself a packet

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 400 Weight without Driver (KG) : 1525 Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 266.51 0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.42 0 - 100 (Secs) : 9.75 60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.33 Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.62 Terminal Speed (MPH) : 113.77 Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.52 Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 115.05 Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 380 Weight without Driver (KG) : 1525 Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 253.18 0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.58 0 - 100 (Secs) : 10.25 60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.67 Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.80 Terminal Speed (MPH) : 111.75 Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.70 Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 113.02

Out of interest, how much do the rods cost, I know you can get Cosworth ones, if these were changes would you then be able to run 400bhp?

So bad, yet so bad

Putting in a FCON or UTEC ecu must have some performance benefit, there can be no way that Nissan had pre-tuned the vehicle to the max

Hi Baptist How did you get your UTEC ECU Done? Cheers

Its fine on the motorway, I do 60 miles a day of motorway driving, the good thing about this combo is that the noise is a real on the power noise and not a crusing noise. Alway been a big fan of HF cats, as normally you get a good power gain (as opposed to having a crappy ECU that doesn't let it rip like it should).

Bit of advice on the M3 front, don't bother with the SMG II box, it becomes a pain after a while.
