Thanks for the kind words guys, I just got back from testing my car from 0 - 100 the best way i can. I tried to launch it with traction off and stood on the brake then stomp on the gas..wait until 2000 - 2500 RPM then released the brake and off she went. The only prob was that I usually got alot of wheelspin however the one time i didnt get much i recorded a 4.98 which is not bad. I took video the only prob is that it was at night so the quality is not the best but the sound is great
 I will upload it to youtube as soon as i can. any hints or tips are welcome.Cheers, Matt. Last edited by Orlin; 02-23-2009 at 04:47 PM.. |

Welcome Orlin. Wow that's a quick time. Haven't tried launching with TC off, but have tried it with DTC. Got a bit of wheel spin then she just took off. Didn't time myself though but it felt QUICK.

thanks d3syd, I might give that a go in my next test. I did try once with DTC on to see if it will help me with my wheelspin and it seemed to bogdown however I may have just not launched it at the correct amount of revs so ill give it another go soon and post result.

Welcome to the site! Good to see another Brisbane owner around. What did you car dyno without the tune? And can I ask how much it was?

Welcome Matt.
Beautiful car. Good to see another 1 on the road. (by the way, If you have a Coupe, it's an E82....The E87 is a 5 door Hatch)

hi mate, when I first got my car I was under the impression that I had an E82 however when I read the metal plate under the bonnet it says 1 Series-E87, why would this be? could it be an error at factory?

Everything I've read says E87=Hatch. Maybe it is an error, in which case you have a one of a kind car that is worth, like 4 times what you paid for it...
