Stonkin Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 The M3 evo is supposed to have around 320bhp but i think they generally come out just over 300. Perhaps it wasnt standard? Depends what you mean by the word 'done' Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'd have thought it would be an even match. Maybe he was a better driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Its yours an auto? and how badly were you 'done'? You may have boost problems, get it on a 'respectable' dyno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Have you learned the art of kickdown yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADD Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 spot the comedian of course i have.... wiv bpu i should kicks arse right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'd expect that tbh, they're not slow cars by any means. And you're auto and up to high speeds hes getting more power to the road and you, probably shifting nicely too. He may have had it chipped too. Yes BPU you'll beat him.

GeordieSteve Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I was serious! If you've just bought the car you may not know about full kickdown yet (hence being beaten by the M3). I take it your car isn't BPU yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADD Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 no its not bpu YET its bloody will be soon though!! talk me through the kick down buddy if you could? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 It's litterally just slamming your foot on the accelerator! It should gear down 1 or 2 gears and take off... give it a try on some dry road What you need is a set of hybrids lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 one of me mates used to have an M3 evo. When mine was standard there was absolutely nothing in it. in 1st in early revs he pulled a little but i'd catch up when 2nd boost kicked in by 2nd gear it was evens up to 100. i have a manual. i done him at santa pod tho but i think he says he messed up. he got 14.1 @ 101 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'll vouch for the smile-inducing ability of 'full kickdown'. Needed it to keep up with two GTRs on the way to TOTB. I'd forgotten my directions and would've been lost if they'd have gotten away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 talk me through the kick down buddy if you could? it's like one of the old heavy-duty Guitar FX-pedals, right at the end of the accelerator travel. You can feel the button clicking, and you can see it covered by a rubber musroom if you look carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 240rwhp and 300bhp at the fly sounds about right mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irvy Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 If you are gonna use kickdown....also use overdrive when you are about to go for it...hit OD button - sends the revs up so your boost level goes up,knocks you into 3rd and then you are just kicking down one gear....

Markie Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Sounds a touch low on BHP for a TT. They are usally standard at about 320 330 BHP arnt they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 RWHP which im told is about right for a J spec auto. around 300 at the flywheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 E46 M3 Evos 0-60 4.8 arent they?? That should be enough to easily see off a stock auto supe (0-60 5.5 approx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
