Get the radical fixed yet? What was wrong with it?

 

I caught some godzilla action!! Rep me!

 

Oops, should have qualified that with fastest lap by a vehicle you can buy as it was run; Radical SR8 @ 6:55. There are faster cars to have run it but they're race cars.

 

The current theory is that it's the throttle position sensor or hardware/wiring related to it; they replaced it and now the car will idle but will die if you open the throttle, so they're still digging around.

 

You may have right with the forced induction, but the block is made of aluminum so it's not a realy good base.....but I guess the engine itself is big enough.... 6-pack with 2.5 liters.....its just called 323 because of the other manifold.
I can modify the manifold of the M50 engine and put it on the M52 in my car, my bro did this already to his bimmer.
The engines like to have more then 170 hp, it can have 186 hp if the engine is in a good shape.
Top-Speed is limited 230 km/h....good thing we can test it legally on germanys autobahns
A visit by Hartge should solve the Vmax limitation problem, also I want to put 2 camshafts in there.
If you don't know Hartge....check this YouTube - BMW E90 Hartge H50 V10 .....V10 of the M5 and 550hp, Lambo Gallardo is no match to it, saw it live in Hamburg while it pushed the Gallardo to the side on the Autobahn.

I load up some pics when I got it, it's fully loaded with all the fancy stuff you don't realy need to go fast....but it's nice to know it's there
It cames in Imola-Red, was build only 94 times in that colour and it's the Sport Limited Edition with M-Tech bumper and fender package, M-Tech suspension and short shifter.
Also some interieur gadgets and stuff from the BMW Individual programm.

M3 front swap, other rims etc will follow as soon I have money in the bank again

sorry for too much OT

 

Very cool stuff! Thanks for the info tobibeck, I am gonna keep this window on my other screen all day while I work

 

tobibeck----1) I'm jealous, and I usually don't get jealous. I wish I lived that close to that track. 2) I know it is NOT an easy track. I know that it can be absolutley pouring down rain in four or five turns while completely sunny and dry on other parts of the track all at the same time. Also, all you have to do is watch one or two videos of laps around teh track ( or Jackie Stewart slowly lapping in a Jag) and you quickly realize the extreme nature of the track. 3) Thanks for the info 4)welcome!

 

I am jealous in a different kind of way, when I see how much the gas is in the states compared to our prices.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome!

 

You will do anything for rep won't ya!

 

Nahh I just get really bored right around the times I happen to be on the forums. Thanks for the rep though!
