SAU Nickname - Snowman

Car Make and Model - BMW 135i E87

Circuit Name - Nurburgring - Germany

Lap Time (BTG) - 9.12.3 :) - Google Earth file of lap here - http://sau.ferni.net/Snowy/20080404-1505-b...ap-1-export.kml

\

Mods - Half cage, Sparco Race Seat and harness, Brembo Brakes and pads and KW Suspension

Tyres - Bridgestone RE050 street tyres.

Power - 306HP

I did one slow sighting lap to see the track and get a feel for the car - which scared the crap out of me.

I then did my 1 hot lap - which really scared the crap out of me.

On my next lap it started PISSING down and then a car infront of me speared off into a wall halfway around the track and with me having a $20K excess over my head I decided it was time to call it a day. (My lap time in the rain was 10.51).

But my god - what a track that place is!

So jealous... I really regret not doing the burgerring while I was over there...

Same here.. I was over there for 2 years and it did not even enter into my head that I should goto the ring.. how f'n stupid of me

Dam snowy!!!!!Well done mate!!!!

Is that the twin turbo bmw? (same motor from the 335?)

Has anyone else here done the ring? A mate did it in a renault megane and was around the 10min mark

Yep - same twin turbo motor out of the 335i. I originally booked that car as I thought it should be fun and light and nimble. When I got there on Friday morning Theo (who runs rent-racecar) told me I had picked the "most difficult to drive" car in his fleet. LOL. I soon found out why. Because it has pretty good power but it as quite a short wheel base so it was EXTREMELY twitchy in the rear - espeically at higher speeds. And there are plently of places you find yourself having to brake and turn from high speeds and boy did I have some moments! Still - no point in not making the most of a potentially one off life experience hey. :D

BTW - Theo told me I was insane to have run 9.12 on my 1st ever lap around the place. lol

done at night too!

Beat my PB at Winton by 3 seconds today with 35rwkw less than before at 1.41.7-ish

Damn, I know my lines arent the best, and im going in a bit too hot on some of the corners, but I dont think theres more than 2 sec's in it (at my level of skill) unless im doing something really wrong.

Wonder how much time there is in it if I get a proper wheel alignment and some strut braces and sway bars. No matter, I wont be doing anything else to it until get into the 30's. No point spending more money to make up for the lack of driver skill :)

Edited by Yawn

The car has 280rwkw and Ohlins coilovers and RE55s. I need a wheel alignment, havent done it before, and some sway bars and strut braces might help a bit.

The first time at Winton I did 1.44-ish, which was the time before this. I had 315rwkw at that time with RE55s and GAB coilovers.

Im not that satisfied with the time because of me knowing quite a few drivers in their stock-ish evo's in the 38-39s. And your time too Roy, thats what I call respectable. You've got less power than me but presumably more suspension work?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
