hmmmm, tires, LCAs and panhard bar, I got that.

bubba428 04-09-2008 07:26 PM

its a convertible too if that makes any difference...I didn't see any charts for them

JerzLT1 04-09-2008 07:36 PM

youll probably actually go slower with those mods, more tire = more drag. you dont spin as it is. suspension mods are always good though. im gonna say it takes if shes a good enough driver.

Knipps 04-09-2008 07:39 PM

bubba, vert = heavier. get your car as light as you can

bubba428 04-09-2008 07:45 PM

nice, fix the suspension more W/R, DRs. yea that sounds good

I have video of it spinning, and it chips into 2nd. but yea with the new shocks/springs and boxing the stock suspension until I can get relocation brackets and tube components, I'm hoping for a 14.0 next time I go.

JerzLT1 04-09-2008 08:08 PM

you really dont need drag radials, just get your suspension down. i went 13.1 with a 1.89 60' on street tires with LCAs and SFCs and i have alot more HP then you.

yes you do...but your stock tire size is a bit wider than 215/65 as well...I'm either going to get the DRs from James or get new street tires, probably both.

Anti_Rice_Guy 04-09-2008 08:27 PM

235s.....not that much bigger.

IROCdan330 04-09-2008 08:42 PM

i could see a 325i vert with a novice driver run low 15s at best...

honestly bubba, if you have any problem winning, you have made your car slower again.

bubba428 04-09-2008 09:27 PM

i'm pretty sure I'm not going to do that again

Mike 04-09-2008 09:35 PM

bubba428 04-09-2008 10:03 PM

exactly....the 22 year old half beaten to hell car is still faster that the brand new beamer.

SteveR 04-09-2008 10:40 PM

A good driver using the BMW auto-stick can get decent times out of it. I had a 328i and a 330i sport and they would accelerate pretty good. Is it a 325i Sport?

I believe what he meant was, faster or not, at the end of the day, they still drive home with their heated seats on, and you drive home in your "half beaten to hell car."

This kinda reminds me of the beginning of 3 fast 3 furious...

bubba428 04-10-2008 07:02 AM

haha hey I don't need no heated seats, A/C or heat.

IROCdan330 04-10-2008 10:53 AM

Bubba, with that statement you are just perpetuating the stereotype that f-body owners are all 4 toothed mullet rockin' rednecks.

sweetbmxrider 04-10-2008 12:08 PM
