318Ti Standard Performance

[TheFlyingScotsman]

Right, im back!

Long time no see huh!

The Mad Scotsman has been up at the 1/4mile with the Ti, and i ran a 16.02 at 88mph.

Im completely standard apart form a S/S from CAT backwards.

I beat a few standard Toyota Starlet GT Turbo's (EP82 & GLANZA), Kept within spitting distance with a Focus RS, Yaris T-SPorts- pissed all over them!

Loads more, great day!

This a good time?

and about insurance mine is $1200 a year for the ti
i was amazed it was more than my 1998 audi A4 quattro

[BleMW]

i've taken a 2002 v6 mazda millenia on the outside of a turn

[cosmos schwarz]

i pay £500 a year fully comp. dont not get a dasc just because of insurance, go third party and dont declare it. if you have a bump insurance dont even look at your car anyway!

my car is pretty much standard, 1/4 mile is in the 15's with the car stripped.

as for cars i've beaten, christ, my best race was an old maserati 2.5 bi-turbo, it overtook my friends 94 325i no problem but couldnt keep with me in about a 10 mile stretch of b-road, the thing could catch up on the straights, but i could outbrake/corner every bend. i dont advise racing maserati's, it wasnt a breeze, i had to use heel-toe to create oversteer in the tight twisties and was half-flat shifting. my car did smell of burnt clutch/brake pads when the guy flashed me to pull over at a pub and see what car i was driving. (my car's completely de-badged at the back).

[KNIGHT 318TI]

I recently saw the 1/4 mile times and it is 16.4.

[Zacki]

im paying like 280 a month,(sucks had to put 1/2 my paycheck into it and delay my dasc) after i had a wreck, for my 318i '96. jackass in front of me, in a yellow bug, stopped in the middle of the intersection for a squirrel. only like $200 of damage to his car and $100 to the car in front of him, but like 5k to my car( i was in my moms highlander at the time- that Asian car is made of plastic, i swear to god. I will be like about $260 a month on my TI.
Im just not going to tell them about the supercharger, plus i heard somewhere that, unlike turbos sc's don't raise insurance, idk about that.

I like you.

Thats the way i drive and ive beaten cars i dont think i should have somehow.
Im thinking about stripping the car, id love to see the 15's!

BTW I NEED YOUR WHEELS, those the EVO M3 ones?

[GhostRyder]

i took a 97 eclipse from a roll pretty easy

[TheFlyingScotsman]

Well my claim to fame is a 2.0 GSI Corsa and Glanza's and some other 'HOT HATCHES'.

FWD Pish! haha!

-bmw e46 330d, approx. 175bhp: was half a car lenght in front at 50mph
-bmw e90 320d, approx. 177bhp: exactly the same

have a stock 318ti, M44 engine, NGK quad-sparkplugs, mobil1, shell 100octane fuel. I'm happy with all that.

[SDKmann]

You get 100 octane out of the pump?!

[NeoP]

we have 102 octane here, too. 100 octane is good enough for the bosch DME to squeeze every little bit of torque out of the 318ti, and to give it a smooth idle. Plus, this fuel has a specialy added package of cleaning and "the engine will run smoother"-add-ons. I can do 34 miles to the gallon if i dont kick it too much - really good liquid they sell here
What is the best fuel you can get in the US?

[thesk8nmidget]

93 octane in dallas texas at the pump

[NeoP]

OMG, that is poor (sorry), but how much is the gallon? we had 6$ the gallon here, currently we're at 5,64$.

[thesk8nmidget]

right now for 93 were at 3.26
