finally some clips eh?



easily walked a modded volvo turbo in 4th gear, with him starting a car ahead of me and a second early. about 75-110

the tires were surprisingly sticky, since it was so hot outside, and because of that the car didn't feel its strongest. I let off the gas and slowed down in the first run because someone was crossing the street illegally

to be fair, he was behind me the whole time when he wanted to race, so all he saw was a stock looking z4m. hahaha

I've recently been feeling power dips at 2 spots in second gear, I THINK I need those bavauto coils. I'll order them today anyway instead just in case

I'd get my new coils installed first before taking on a big benz. And then run a dyno to make sure its all working properly, and then take him out right the first time

haha, yeah, I looooove this car with the top down. Most of the sound is from the blower and intake, which I prefer to a loud and boomy exhaust (for now, hahaha)

thansk for the compliments, I can't wait to "finish" the install

btw, I hammered down in 2nd gear with traction OFF, and I definitely don't reccommend it to anyone who doesn't know how to counter-steer across 3 lanes. hahahhaha

I couldn't find a reasonable buyer for my current wheels, so I'm gonna run out these tires first, and then take the next step

Tom, if you get chance, mount your Go pro on your Rear bumper and go for a run one late evening ;-) checkout the blue spits of flames when you pop the limiter on change ups..... i wish i had the equiptment to catch this moment....

vt2 = firebreather.
