1M Time Attack Car

[ed_z]

Mix together as different additives and fuels have a different ron and rom level and lubrication and obviously the cost as you could always just run Sunoco but at R1200 per 20L drum that is out of my budget so by mixing the fuel we get more volume and high percentages of blend for reasonable cost.

Could do a 2min002 so flat 2 min around a wet, damp and very cold track. I am not ecstatic cos who would of thought it would rain in winter and stuff up a very nice day but it is what it is. Next time.

Car is super strong in the handling department and am very impressed in that the car has done what i planned and in fact is so much quicker around the track i now have to get my head around it first.

Decided on the BorgWarner ceramic ball bearing twin scroll turbo aluminum exhaust housing and inlet twin port with internal WG and single dual charge manifold designed and developed by ADF Motorsport. Rennzport will be doing the first custom JB4 G5 board custom unit for me to run the new setup. Freddie the owner of ADF Motorsport said that he will get in stock only in October as there is such a demand for the turbo and for obvious reasons as the turbo is rated the best in the industry at the moment.

what kind of power you expecting from that :rollsmile:

 

[ed_z]

350wkw

 

[moranor@axis]

your car will be a little quick with that :rollsmile:

Hope so but will have to wait for November when stock arrives.

Seems like I will test the car in next week at the big Z with RE11 265 all round. I have a slight knock on front left wheel/ shock and think it could be from hitting a rumble strip very hard at Kyalami Saturday so will have to get this sorted first.

Entered BMW CCG Dyno day on the 7th July so let's see what figures my wagon will do. Will post results.

 

[moranor@axis]

maybe one of the shock mountings is going?

 

[ed_z]

Bud car is brand new but sorted it out by removing the top mount bracket and taking up the play that was causing the noise on the top mount centre bolt to secure the shock mount itself.

 

[moranor@axis]

easy fix :rollsmile:

So I had my first major failure on my wagon today, a rear brake light warning came on an it was the bulb that went. Thanks to the guys at Leo Haese Hatfield for helping me fault find on a saturday of all days!

This wagon is phenomenal, I have thrashed this 1M from the day the run in period was done and the car is just so good all day every day, thanks BMW for a absolutely awesome car! One of a k1nd!
