The excitement, the angst, the biterness!

Hahaha seriously, his car did a good pass, I mean it's got a T78 and Nitrous, you think it would do a 15 second pass?

If someone drove my car faster than me I would be pissed off at them, and be eager to try again to beat it. I'm sure "wreckedhead" is keen to get out there and do his own passes next time...

when i ran my car at 11.1 with no gas, i let alex drive it after he fixed the nos leak, i didnt think he would break into the 10s, but after he did we were off the track, but its all good, i was more then happy to get the car into the 10s didnt bother me if it was alex or gearge bush, the potential is there for anyone to take it to the limits, but the cage will come nesxt week, and so will the slicks so hopefully ill be able to hopefully get into mid 10s

I had a Woody for like ten minutes.....That made my night...Better than me actually running my car. That was me that came by in the maroon GTR in the pits as i was leaving........

I seen the 11.4sec pass from the grandstand, the launch left a bit to be desired from (for a car trying to get into the 10's not by my ability).

Then on the 2nd run (the 10.8sec pass) soon as the launch was over (500% better than the 11.4sec pass) I was cheering knowing that it was gonna be a 10.9-11.0 pass and the guys nearby were looking at me all weird. Soon as the car went over the line and the 10.8sec lit up they gave me the thumbs up :)

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
