ILC's 1991 318 S50 track rat

[i_love_cars]

Hard to say for sure. The car isn't fully tuned yet but it is running smoothly enough that I think it's worth getting an initial dyno pull. 

From all the dyno results I have seen on N55 pure stg2, targeting 21 psi on E50 has resulted in anywhere from 480-500. People running meth put down slightly better numbers ~530. 

I would be happy to see 475 because that would show a gain of over 100 whp going from stock turbo to Pure. I'm more concerned with the gain than the raw number. Helps me validate the money I spent

Am I the only one thinking of the gross type of red rocket? You know, that thing that happens when a male dog gets excited?

Which dyno are you getting on? I'm excited to see the numbers.

Double entendre, dual meaning.  Most definitely meant it as a dog boner and the fact that his car is red.  I went for the triple entendre with ROT RCKT since ROT is German for red, dog boners and he has a red car.  It was meant as more of a joke.

Side note, I had to explain to my boss what a red rocket is today and now he won't stop saying it.

Ahh... I don't watch South Park. Glad we're all on the same page though 

If you put down monstrous numbers, I might have to pay them a visit for my car. Any guesses?

I know LMT is certainly not a heartbreaker. A FBO (no inlets) N54 335i on a E60 Wedge tune (~21psi peak) put down 450whp in 3rd gear, should be around 460whp in 4th gear (dyno operator couldn't figure out the kickdown I guess, idk haven't tried a 6AT e90). Meanwhile I put down 391awhp with minimal mods, stock dp's, stock fmic on 18psi with a few gallons e85 to prevent timing correction from high iat.

Anyways, I vote for SHTFCK

They've changed the calibration on the dyno relatively recently to sae correction, for whatever it's worth.

This is my favorite t shirt in existence.

Just checking in to ask how much you love it more than the miaturd

And mainly checking in to ask how your plate submission forms went at the DMV.

Because SHTFCK

[i_love_cars]

New wheels are on. I could not possibly be any happier with how they look. Fitment is really good with 12mm spacers all around. I think I am going to drop to a 10mm just for peace of mind but right now I can get a full lock on the wheel again with no rub and driving over normal bumps so far is no problem.

Looks really good!

Parking like a true BMW owner.

[i_love_cars]

good catch, lol. unfortunate timing because i just stopped for a minute to snap a few photos and parked on the far edge of the parking lot lol

[KaiserRolls]

What rubber?

Also thread is dead because that plate (even though I suck at reading) when I sound it out doesn't seem to read SHTFCK

[KaiserRolls]

And yes car looks absolutely perfect

[i_love_cars]

direzza tires. 

Why would my track car have SHTFCK for license plate when I have 1 M0R LAP on it? 

This is the E30 thread, not the 135 thread. quit vapin'

[CMart]

Where did you get the wheel tire setup?

I have the same on one my E30M3 - considered selling it, but I'm fuzzy on what fits a BBK and what doesn't and I know these do.

[i_love_cars]

i figured the setup out based on what i currently have combined with gorilla math. 

17x7.5 were on the car, and they were e36 ds1 wheels with 12mm spacers all around. ds1 has 41 offset so this makes an ET29 with 12mm spacer. After using WillTheyFit.com , it showed that I could probably get away with the 17x8.5 et40 from Apex if I continued to use 12mm spacer. Everything fits pretty well but I may drop to a 10mm spacer now for just a hair of extra clearance in the fronts. Not fully sure yet. 

apex arc-8 are all designed with BBK clearance in mind.

[CMart]

Cool - Mine are 17X9 ET42s with a square 235 setup.

I have them listed a few places and received a lot less interest than I thought they would get.

And about the BBK, yeah I know the ARC-8s will fit my wilwoods, but until they are on the car I don't know what else will so I am hesitant to pick up another set of wheels.

[i_love_cars]

17x9 ET30 seems to be more popular for e30's in that regard. At least from what I'm seeing. Why are you wanting to get rid of your arc8? THere's no "Will This Rim Clear BBK?" thread at R3VLimited? Surprising

[CMart]

They came with the car. I like the way they looked on non-Ms more than the way they look on Ms.

[suspenceful]

Dude, these wheels look gorgeous on this car! I'm jealous of the concave offsets that my E82 doesn't have
