What did you do with your car today?

[heeltow]

no times mid/high 5s for 60-130 at sea level. I took it out to the strip once years ago with a buddy. Was there for autocross with another car and decided to bring the car to the strip unprepped since he was in town lol. Kept switching cars and only got a few passes in each. O2 ended up being bad (I blow them like every 500 miles) so timing kept getting pulled midway through the run. Still was trapping 11s at 130s lol and won autox so I'll take it. Good for 10.xx as is for sure. I'm sure I'll try to go get my 10 pass at some point just to do it, but I just don't care that much and the wear and tear for something so benign (think about how many stock cars do 10s now) makes it meh. Pretty low operating cost when I just keep it to crusing and rolls which is where it shines.

I used to work for Bimmerworld racing team and fabrication company. One time my buddy and I custom built a single turbo setup for a fully built s50 engine in an E36 wagon that was imported into the states by the owner. I think it made it into a couple different magazines, had over 700 horsepower. Those cars can be pretty wild, I had a custom turbo setup on my E36 M3 back in the day and it made around 500 horsepower and could walk just about anybody on the street back then.

Cannot dispute that...

There are a couple or so already in the US, albeit as show cars. The Renaultsport Clio V6 will not eligible for import until 2025 for the Phase 1 (the 2 silver cars seen on the right) and 2028 for the Phase 2. The Phase 2 is favoured by most.
