Yes mate, i'll be in the 1er.. Still only got the software and the rest is factory stock, so about 350-60bhp.

Will be interesting to see how she fairs to the Ed30, but doubt it will be as quick tbh. I would think it will be close though and the BM will certainly take the top speed.

Great  :happy2: be great to see what the Beemer does. I was offered a nearly new one a bit back for a good price, but it was a manual.

With the setbacks of Revo unwilling to go any further on this engine i sence your getting cold feet. A manual 135i with Hurdy mods would have been epic though :driver: :evilgrin:

Great to see loads of FWD runners doing this :) I did this even in my old GTR and it was great fun, easily one of the best events i did in it.

Cant wait for this years one :)

Got a soft spot for the Mk5 i must admit so hopefully there will be some nice ones coming along :) Hopefully soon a list of the runner and riders will appear :) Im giong to run my A8 for a laugh as well to see what the old v8 diesel is like :D might even get that mapped too ;)

Watch out for an ordinary looking Scooby from Scotland.

Andy Forrest is bolting a couple of rather large turbos onto a flat 6 motor. It'll have circa 1000bhp, NOS to boot and aiming for 200mph. Hope the drivetrain holds up tho!

Im glad Andys going, i notice he'd kept quiet on 22b.....

hes definitely not the only one that will be shooting for the 200mph barrier, although something will be going very wrong if he doesnt make it, having done it before!!

He's giving out snippets as he goes along with his build. But I think he wants to give Ross W's EVO a run for the crown this time! Should be fun!

keep your foot in, and hold the f**k on!

the thing is, if you want to do a top speed run, just swing on to the runway at whatever speed you can manage. You can probably hit the runway at 80 or so anyway :)

Ah, I didn't know that, I thought you had to start at 30mph on the runway and go on past the 130mph to then do your top speed. I didn't know you could just tear onto the tarmac with the pedal down and go for the top speed.

In that case I may get to 145mph  :signLOL:

But I'm hoping for 150mph+ as I will probably have about 260bhp to push my 1.4 down the strip if I haven't got an upgrade turbo on by then!
