I think its best run was 13.274 @ 106 though I can't be absolutely sure That's a lot faster than factory figures, although a remap would be on the cards. How's your car going Maria after the remap, still enjoying the extra oomph? Hi Leighton, The 135i would have been running a map so his terminals should be between 106-108mph, this is what I've typically seen on this model. I've seen a 135i run sub 13 seconds (12.7!!) so either this one has a normal remap pushing about 360-370bhp or he's running a strong map at 390bhp+ but is a bit inexperienced so not quite getting the times. My ex mapped 335d did a best of 13.2 at 107mph, quicker than a couple of manual E92 M3's but slower than a DCT equipped E92 M3, they posted 13.5 and 12.7 secs respectively. Jules.

can you not swap rubber doughnut on the inlet manifold for like samco hoses? will that not make them stonger or do they have to be a certain design? You can't directly swap the doughnuts for a short length of samco - the doughnuts have a thick lip inside them that bridge the gap between the plenum and the manifold. There are ways of getting around it - and I've been planning on removing a lip from the inlet manifold to the gap is flush. This also means moving the plenum to manifold brackets though. Chris

Well we had a HD camera with proper quality. One of the vids is so funny. You see West and Squid line up and west boosts off, Squid is just sitting there popping the launch control, the joys of wearing sandals for racing

Evan worse than that on the next run. I was lined up next to TurboJ when I was being told off like a naughty school boy by the woman on the line for doing a burn out too close to the start line when the light goes green and Jason shoots off. 2 seconds later she finishes having a go at me and off I trundle....

My best time was 13.5 @111. However, I did not manage to beat my performance the first time round where I got 13.3 @113.
I was playing with different launch techniques on Saturday. I tried the launch control once, but it was the first time I had used it and I think it was the second slowest time I did!
I was still running with the spare wheel, jack tools and loads of assorted junk in the car as I forgot to take it all out. I was in a bit of a hurry as I had to get back home by lunch time. I don't fancy ripping out all the trim etc from the car as it is likely to get messed up.
My front tyres are not at their best now, so I think I will get a spare set of rims and buy a set of R888's. That should help.
However, the Coupe is not really cut out to be a drag car, it is much better on a propper track day where it can really use the power.

hello nick i wouldnt say i was getting good launches,i was wheel spinning all the way through first and second,im running toyo t1rs and i did a 2.3second 60ft jump mate on the 12.7 run so basicly what your trying to say there's room for improvment and a better 1/4 mile time ;-) car looks like it's going well congrats same goes for the rest of you there! Squids car seemed like it was wheel spinning alot off the line, but as he said street tyres and full interior. Well done to all of you putting in some good 1/4 mile times.
