How was the engine running? Still giving the richter scale a nudge when you fire it up? |
Craig, ratio was 3:9:1 which is std BMW M3. Have gone to 4:8:8 BMW Msport. In the 391 I could WP straight in 2nd and the balance in 1st! Thus the BANG!
Motor feels good but never got to really test..... oil leak is coming from w/pump spacer where it bolts to the block. I have a feeling the bolts where too long so have put in a spacer washer. Sadly never got to test it once I did that diagnosis and I can't really take it for a spin down tedder!
Will give it a Dyno later on in the year......  |

Well, if "tedder" is out of the question. How about the Sovereign mile?. From the gates to the second round a bout and back again. 
Go on .... you know you want to.

I would agree that there are plenty of us that travel for the nationals.
Perhaps some sort of venue rotation maybe the answer.
A change of host state would take the pressure off of one group organizing every year too.
I travel about 9hrs now but if one out of every few years I had to tow to SE QLD I think it would be manageable.

Weather wise it was a better year then the 2 previous, and as much time was lost with breakdowns, fires, exploding cars, spin offs as there was the rain. I was lucky enough to got a good run in, but I do understand people missed out on a clear and dry run.
Shift the weather 3 days back, and it would have been a completely dry weekend.

I would agree Andrew.

Oh, I forgot you had the Bee Em rear end. I was thinking 9"...
I know you can't really take it down Tedder Av, but how good would it sound if you did?!?!?
