View Full Version : ics monster 99M Roadster
BRUNO 03-15-2005, 07:59 PM Today was a day i'll never forget. Holy crap 505rwhp monster. I never felt on how it feels to be sucked back into your seat. This car is so fast that you can't even floor the car. We was running low boost and i couldn't handle it. No lie we had to change gears at 4500rpm because it was just too intense. I just want to give props to george at ics in CT for creating a beast of a car for Jon. I will have a clip up soon on how 40-100mph feels like in a blink of a eye.

Sounds good we should set a date for english town.If we can get a m3 maybe sean or another m3 ICS machine we will have the start of a nice little
mix of bmw's a 328,roadster and a m3. Looks like the start of a little bmw drag
racing team. I guess we would be Mopowa racing. :buttrock
April 9-10 is nopi race wars at MIR what a way to represent ICS.There will be national coverage.George get some of the guys together for this will be great to show the import croud what the bimmer boys can do. :D
themadhatter 03-16-2005, 05:12 AM maybe you guys can hit an import vs domestic drag war and really piss off the locals. :D
now post pics of the mods and video!
bimmerpwr 03-16-2005, 11:19 AM I can't wait until I get a ride in your car and compare it against OZM3's car. I assume it would be similar but probably more intense since it's an open car! :buttrock

Synthetic Darkness 03-17-2005, 04:11 AM I'm sure this is a stupid question but how reliable are these turbo cars? Specifically Card Counter's 328i. The reason why I ask is I have only have one car and it needs to be reliable for daily use.

Good to see more enthusiasm from FI BMW owners at the drag strip!
I guess you guys are now learning or are about to learn that power is the easy part in drag racing a street car! The hard part is to set the car up to use that power.
Keep it up!

We are still in the enginering process for the lil 2.8 drive train should be ready in a week.
I agree on trying to get the power to the ground there is fine line .
I love the traction of slicks but hate the consequences.
CDCJON551 03-17-2005, 10:36 PM yeah this is gonna be fun. i want to see that 2.8 go. I have to get my launches right with the setup i have now

IHRA and NHRA has 11.49 rule for cage. Who will be the first ICS car asked to leave a track? Sean you have to bring your car its the only ICS machines I have not had the pleasure of seeing.
Looks like a good turn out so far, OH the 26 at e-town is mustang day

Don't be so naive.
Track officials will eject you from the track if you do any of these thigns:
1. Bump off the lights (thus activating the timers) and pause before re-launching
2. Touch your brakes before you've crossed the finish line
The only way to avoid ejection for running under the track index is to button off slightly at the top end before the finish line. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR BRAKES. A brake light is highly visible and will earn you a trip home.
Furthermore, track officials have seen a gazillion street cars try every trick in the book. If you're going to sandbag it all day and then let it rip on your last pass, be aware that they known all about it and won't be very happy.
ADVANT123 03-18-2005, 09:22 PM Mr. Blonde, if you pull your e-brake, the brake lights don't go off and you can slow your car. This is a commonly used technique by some drag racers.

Drag racing is all about going as fast as you can anyway! But yeah, some guys use their handbrake. Smart move that, applying lock to your rear wheels at 130-140 mph :-)

I agree. I pulled the handbrake to slow down after passing a parked CHP car in one of my beater cars. I was going about 90 in a straight line, it applied the brakes uneaven and locked one wheel and sent me across one lane onto the sholder, I overcorrected and the car fishtailed back onto the fwy.....scary to say the least.

card counter 03-19-2005, 05:25 AM My local track has no problem with hitting the brakes.Well I have only done this during bracket elimination. I took 4th place last year and I did alot of top end braking. I lost when another car stayed to close and I had to stay on the throttle all the way. I broke out of my time by .06 if I would have won that one I would have recieved a trophy and money man was I pissed.
I will not baby the car just to stay at the track,Im going for the fastest time I can from the get go.If I run under 11.49 its just more time to me to drink my pepsi and smoke my cigs and watch the other forum members tear up the track :buttrock

Not in bracket racing. It is totally legal to hit the brakes. You guys must do it different over on the prison island.

Bracket racing is different to street meets ... I know people sandbag in bracket racing all the time, but that's not about avoiding mandatory safety requirements but staying under your dial in.
Not sure what prison island you're referring to .. although I enjoy dressing up as Snake Plissken as much as the next fellow.
M Roady 03-20-2005, 01:12 AM Mr. Blonde, if you pull your e-brake, the brake lights don't go off and you can slow your car. This is a commonly used technique by some drag racers.
You could also pull your bulbs or fuse. :dunno Keeping the brake lights from coming on when you apply the brakes isn't too hard. Running half track would probably be just as good to test your launch before you do a run that'll get you booted. When you get the money launch just keep going.
I've seen sub ten second runs when the driver cut at half track, that was with throwing the parachute. :eek: Unless ICS is really up to something you guys don't have the option of hitting the after burner on the launch.

I hope to be picking it up today, it needs an alinement bad and a few other minor things but if all goes well i hope to run it, with a set of slicks from Matt.
I think it should run low 13's high 12's. We'll see if i can get that stuff taken care of before the 26th? :)

woo wooooo...i got the slicks, go and run the times :D and dammit, the M6 needs a driveshaft...i want to run that with the other set of slicks :D but i guess i'll have to use the A8. It's got a V8, 330hp, 380lb/ft, roughly 4,000lbs, and I can take weight out of it...so who wants to start placing bets? and who wants to place bets on how fast we can do it with a full load...like me, george, sean, jon and dave in the car down the 1/4....hahahaha :D.
Too bad the new toy won't be up here in time...watch out for the white knight...that's her name :D

ICS is right on my way to new jersey. i have to drive right past it. i get out of class at 1 on friday and i was gonna hit the road right after that. so we can meet up at ICS and stay the night in CT or something like that cuz i am not getting up at the crack of dawn on saturday to drive down. ICS is only about 2 or 2.5 hours from me so i can probably (traffic permitting) be there by 4 on friday after noon (ok, maybe 5). call my cell tommorrow after 1 pm so we can get some details figured out. 240 460 7201

CDCJON551 03-23-2005, 02:05 AM hey matt, cant wait till see your project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DefactoM6 03-23-2005, 07:05 AM hey matt, cant wait till see your project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You'll get to watch it grow from a dimunitive 40k mile mint, pretty little M3 into an all out terror...i'm gunning for numbers well beyond Jamar's car...but something really clean and well rounded like Mr. Josh's :)
The OBDII king is gonna be skating at e-town...i can count on seeing you there, right buddy?

gol10dr1 03-23-2005, 04:05 PM hopefully we can get a lock on the forecast before i drive down from boston.

The Atco raceway page is down if any has info on what is going on there next week end please let us know might move meet over there.
Would like what ever track is less crowded so we can get in more runs :redspot
DefactoM6 03-23-2005, 05:06 PM The weather is a toss-up...i don't usually gamble on weather until the day before..and even then the weathermen can be way off, especially this time of year. CC, gimme a call about this weekend dude...
Dave, is UnMellow Yellow gonna be making passes? I hope so dude! And you'll get wheel time in whatever car of mine you want when they're finished...it's the least i can do :D...hope the weather holds so i can meet some of you guys there
but something really clean and well rounded like Mr. Josh's :)

ADVANT123 03-23-2005, 05:37 PM If the weather is good, are any of you guys interested in a car meet at a parking lot a few minutes down the road from englishtown? My car buddies usually have meets there very often and I'm sure I can get a lot of people out so you guys can show them what turbo BMW power is all about. If your interested in details, click on the link in my signature. Thats our message board and we post all our videos/pictures there.

I would love to Matt! But the car is waiting on the blitz SBC id unit to come in, and when it does it will be tuned for about 1 bar of boost.

damn Josh, you should have said something earlier :stickoutt i would've bought it :D

nice dave!!!! the blitz unit is the way to go, i want also get the power meter for it. When is the 35R coming :devillook
DakarDave 03-23-2005, 11:19 PM The 35R.. later this summer :)
The power meter is cool... you can use it as a mini-dyno :) Plus the combo of the power meter and SBC id will enable the speed map feature.. Not as straight forward as RPM based boost control.. but it's a cool feature that can prove to be quite useful.
-Dave
DefactoM6 03-24-2005, 01:36 AM I'll sell you my car, its easier.
no BS? tell me you're kidding...please...tell me you are kidding...your car is too nice dude...
*edit* and dave, explain to me why you're doing the SBC over the E-boost? I thought the E-boost was unbeatable? That's what I had planned for mine, esp after seeing the little cover that josh had done on his...
no BS? tell me you're kidding...please...tell me you are kidding...your car is too nice dude...
I wouldn't turn down a good offer on it.
dtmbimmer 03-24-2005, 11:05 AM weather.com no rain now partly couldy 20% chance percipitation
gol10dr1 03-24-2005, 11:14 AM if the forecasters are as screwy down there as they are up here, we will be fine. they called for 4-7 inches of snow last night.....it barely rained and it is just cloudy now. kleep your fingers crossed for saturday.
DakarDave 03-24-2005, 12:15 PM *edit* and dave, explain to me why you're doing the SBC over the E-boost? I thought the E-boost was unbeatable? That's what I had planned for mine, esp after seeing the little cover that josh had done on his...
The main reason is placement.. If you look at the Z3 cabin.. you'll be hard pressed to find a reasonable place to mount it.
My top three choices {AVC-R, SBC id, eBoost}
highlights
<B>AVC-R</B> - RPM based boost control VS Ricer look
<B>SBC id</B> - Nice Looking unit, with optional speed map VS Additonal $$ for speed map
<B>eBoost</B> - Flashable reprogramming VS large circular, relatively unattractive gauge look

DefactoM6 03-24-2005, 01:11 PM I wouldn't turn down a good offer on it.
*drool* we gotta talk...don't really know what a reasonable offer is, but the entrepreneuer in me has the wheels churning...
gol10dr1 03-25-2005, 01:39 AM matt, ulysses, george, jon and who ever else might be joining us tommorrow, i look forward to seeing and meeting you all!
