King Dyno Day

yeah i'm on 1addicts as I_love_cars and I'm a lurker on n54tech - i mainly lurk there because I don't have a JB4 yet. Cobb is working great for me as an OTS solution and I probably won't pick up a JB4 until down the road when I need to run meth.
Honestly, as far as the LSD goes, yeah it's disappointing that it's such a bitch to do, but it's so worth it. I had the benefit of seeing one in action - I made friends with a local guy here who is FBO running the same tune I am - the only difference between our cars is that he has the Wavetrac LSD and is also lowered with camber so he's running 235 F / 265 R tires. Even from a 40 mph roll, he almost instantly was able to put over a car length on me. The car hooks up insanely better with LSD and wider meats. Being right next to something like that and seeing how much harder it pulls was very illuminating.
Even at 40, if I don't have perfect pavement there are many times where the rear end kicks out and wants to go sideways. LSD with our amount of power is just a necessity if you ever want to get after it. I usually feel like I'm floating down the road when I stomp on the loud pedal.
did you stick around for the porsche to go on the dyno? It was the last car....
-
nah i left at 2:30

I was there until like 12. I was parked on the road though.
Probably safer that way - there was an endless sea of Civics, I was quite sure my little 1er would be devoured.

Yep, I know exactly what you're talking about! I can never hook in 2nd gear when I stomp on it. 3rd gear or bust.

Wow, I'm a little bit heartbroken to hear about the lack of LSD in those.
Well, at least that will tone down the desire for one a bit.

They're still awesome cars. BMW just needed to sell the 1M, so they left the 135i without an LSD. Same motor, same turbos, etc.

No doubt, but for me, spinning the inside wheel while attempting to exit a corner is one of the more irritating driving experiences

King Dyno Day was a success. Everybody was having a good time, I put down good numbers, and WISCOe90 was there so I got to chat with him, among some other cool people I haven't seen since Dyno Days last year
Only one huge douche (ironically in an e36 BMW) doing burnouts when he showed up which caused a bunch of staff from King to run out yelling because, ya know, there's tons of people standing around and you're not cool sitting there doing burnouts. I hope it was nobody on this forum because I would be severely disappointed to know I indirectly associate with such a huge doucher. anyways, here's my chart! best pull was in 5th gear (1;1 ratio anyways) because 4th gear was spinning the tires. 379 whp / 434 wtq. I did a baseline run on this dyno last year before modding that made 275/295, so basically FBO mods got me +100 whp and +140 wtq. Not bad for $3k of modding. Now I just need a limited slip to help put it to the ground

Map 5? How much e85?

Yea it definitely sounded badass but I disregard that fact because that was really not the place to be doing burnouts.
