MDORPHN!

[MDORPHN]

Hit 50,000 miles on drive home from VIR where my 1M (aka "MDORPHN') successfully defended its title as fastest street production car in the 2014 Ultimate Track Car Challenge

Now that I no longer need be concerned about warranty coverage, I can come out of the closet with a full list of my current modifications.

BTW, the current set-up -- using Rob Beck's well-proven "hybrid" turbos -- will very shortly be replaced by a very elegant single turbo set up from MOTIV Motorsport (using a HTA GT3082R turbo w/ .82 A/R TiAL V-Band turbine housing -- for you turbo guys)!

They never made clear exactly which cars were considered street production, but the primarily stock cars included a new BMW M4, Porsche GT3 an Audi R8 and everything in between!

My buddy Robert Grace, a SpecE30 Nationals winner, drove my car. My best at VIR is a high 2:06. He ran a 2:03.6.

Any idea what Ryan Eversley's setup was in that 135i?

Those times seem almost unbelievable ... was his car running the MOTIV setup?

Ryan was driving Bobby Downe's car -- a showcase for the extraordinary fabrication he does at his shop OVERREV Fabrication in Wilmington, NC. All carbon fiber body, loads of serious aero, ANZE triple-adjustable shocks, fuel cell, sequential tranny, etc. Car weighs around 2,500 lbs.

He's running the prototype MOTIV Motorsport single turbo set-up.

Congratulations. Your 'Mdorphn' sure is a non-stop progress and following it is education for many of us.

[Sparks1M]

How about some pics??

[Berra]

I´d love to see Pictures and videos, don´t have facebook! Also, a question...how much power are you running now and how much will you run with the single snail?

[Yeineken]

Whatttt no pictures of this beast?

Best.

The fender flares on the 135 are enormous. What size tires was he running?

[scotth944]

I believe the rear was a 320x60x18, didn't see the front size. 60 didn't make since to me, I would have guessed it was a 20 or 25 given the width.

[Yeineken]

When are you guys going to going to VIR again? I need to see these cars. Especially since I live in the area.

[scotth944]

I believe heard that the 135 is going to be at bimmerfest next month in Maryland.

[ayao]

I think that GRM will be featuring the 135i at some point in the near future.

Neil, so as exhaust upgrade AR down pipes is all you have, rest is stock?

By the way, CBC is Cornering Brake Control if I am right, needs to be edited the wording of it in your list.

Also, I bet you have the 'Euro' MDM codded as well or maybe not even needing it since you like to drive either everything off or on?

This got to be the most purpose built 1M around the Globe or one of very few.
