Thanks GVK. Car was nicely sorted and the engine was dynoed at 400 bhp by the DSC people, but with 135 litres of fuel and my 120KG on board It needed an HGV licence!! Pulled 149 mph down the hanger straight however!



Sounds pretty adequate to me!

400bhp, what motor is it running?

RSMP- Thanks for taking so many pictures.

Anyone else got pictures of car 24, the dark blue BMW E46 M3 Compact? (or better still, a video, as the noise was fantastic!)


Here is one of requested car from me, lots more to come yet though, in time.

E46 M3 3.2 ltr with custom cams, AIM electronics, beautifully crafted one peice exhaust maniold (£4.5k's worth!), large bore exhaust and Carbon airbox (hence the wonderful noise it made) all mated to a nice close ratio Drenth sequential 'box.

Should have had a Drexler diff though... Would have stayed together.

I was flat there, catching 4th, little lift and into bridge and back on the gas. Anyone got a video so I can hear it in action?

P490 - who was doing the last stint in your car???

(i.e. up to 5pm - he was notable from a spectator point of view as being the only car that was still being driven at race pace)

You need to upload it somewhere (webspace, online host such as fotopic etc) then link it using the [ pic ] tags.

The only time my pants bark is when I sit next to you in a road car and hear the spoken words "Here, check this out, Dude.."

I know it will be grim....
