And under 2 hours later I have finished reading it. Top work by that guy, got the impression he is a total GC

I don't know how to say this without sounding like a d*ck, but those outtakes and the hundreds of black tire lines just show how many times he did it to get it right. He certainly knows how to drive for sure, but it would be a 5 star legendary driving video if it was done in just 1 or 2 takes.

Anyone else want to help start a shoe company so we can burn tires all day?

That is very strange indeed, the best thing about 13b engines is the fact thatall the mass is between the axles of the car!

BUT AT LEAST IT GOES BARP BARP!

Hot blonde girl in a bikini with an angle grinder grinding a M325i????

(using trickery so the car isn't actually getting grinded)

Tech2 E30 M325i in Lachsillber spotted in the jellie park pool carpark today.

And it wasn't Atta. Had a personilised plate though> 'good for her'

Future wife, no doubt.

Hells yes! 20 of those engines going round a dirt track at the same time would sound outtathisworld

It's not blurry lol, it's soft, it is smooth, not grainy and sharp and noisey.

I'm sure anyone with photoshop XP would agree with this

but as I said, the microsoft power tool re-sizer is the easiest and best way for generic photos.

Ignore my suggestions though , I take photos like this:

E: Resized your picture because posting a 2000 pixel wide image in a thread about oversized images is the height of fail. Good day to you Sir

The first pic is a jpg saved in paint, the second is a jpg saved in CS3. Both have the same dimensions.

The paint jpg is 195kb, and has so much noise in it, the brake hose, the logo on the tank, the fins on the engine etc

The CS3 jpg is 177kb and has better colour grading and no noise at all.

Takes the same amount of time (with practise haha) to - Alt+Ctrl+I > 1000 > enter > file > save for web > slide bar > save - as it does to do it the paint way.

smiles!

On another note, bike engines are absolutely amazing.

Two 1.3litre 'Busa engines mated to a common crankshaft in Flat Plane V8 format (Like Ferraris and some TVR Cerberas), revving to 14k, would be the ultimate E30 engine. DO WANT CHAAAA

Turbochargers kill all that beautiful 185hp/litre noise.

Most easy way of resizing if you are a noob:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/whi...wertoySetup.exe

All you do is right click on a picture and select resize, done.

(I use Photoshop CS3 however and adjust levels etc. Takes longer doing them one by one, but looks better)

All M20 blocks are virtually all the same. With a 2.8 crank you could use your B20 rods and B25 pistons to make perfect stroker. Unsure of compression ratio at the mo, but it's around 10:1 maybe slightly more.

*edit - what he said too ^

google put a stop to it killjoys

ITS SO FUN BEING RACIST! JUST LIKE A BOUNCY CASTLE!

Already posted in the News section

Awesome car though, I think it looks amazing.

No lachssilber rant Henry?

No, I need someone to say it's bronze/gold first

That incary guy is a show off dickhead. wasn't this thread about a M3?

Summit is like drinking a rotten vineyard!

Little Creatures, Kronenbourg, and Budějovický Budvar are all worthwhile full strength beers to spend some time tasting 5-6 of.

Working in a bar has it's upsides when it comes to drinking free, amazing beer

260's handle HX35's/GT35's on M20s producing monster sized torques Sam, they are tanks

Was 1 dollar, now 5g haha, was going to make a cheeky bid Nice car.

Spectacular! The crash at 1:25 (on the city streets, hit a pile of dirt, camera man runs) is the BEST.

Didn't the balius have a thicker headgasket and slightly less aggressive cam lobes? What did yours redline at?

Either way, I love thrashing the ring off a small bike, very rewarding.

spada making little noises

A cbr thou would be verrrry yum, I love the pre 08 shape, especially in repsol colours

Same engine, really. 19k, as the video description says

Yeah my best mate had a ZXR (in the vid) and we worked on them together, pulled both engines to bits are the are the same, just different engine mounts. I even swapped in a ZXR 1st gear ring after a wee incident with a chain blowing off at a high engine speed (snapped 1 tooth, nice and clicky in first haha)

The fairings make a massive difference haha! His bike was way faster over 150, it just outran me no trouble, but my was quicker to 100 Might be the riders fault for that though

I never saw a balius get past 165 to be honest, the standard gearing was only good for a theoretical 170 [from memory] I have seen a zxr do a true 207k over the flying quarter though. But I don't see them getting any faster. My little twin did very well for itself, was quicker than all the naked 250 fours I have ridden. That extra 2-3hp made a wee difference [took too much work to get that much more though] What kind of jetting have you got with that new exhaust?

I had the carbs rejetted and fully rebuilt, it cost 1000 dollars, crazy money. And I had a 1991 45bhp Balius, its the exact same engine as a ZXR fyi (same bore, same stroke, same compression, same carbs, same valves, same head, different block casting however), and have got a mean tuck, would hit 190 without too much drama. (200 with tailwind hahaha)

but still a slow 250 LOL

*oh and Nath, I wish that was in HD

Yeah Vtwins certainly lack that top end pull. The Balius is pushing 190-200 in the vid, the ZXR is good for 210+, even 230 with a draft from me hahaha.

You are most likely right about the handling, never went to a racetrack on it, but it sure did huss the Summit Rd with fast handling and great road holding.

Bring on a 600! You make it sound much more fun. I just know I'd wheelie for km's at a time though haha
