Westfields Rock On Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 ever so often while out a la westy a BMW will sit right on my A*** and play with his dump valve (oo er) and when theres a straight will over take as fast as he can and speed off like an . this is becoming frequent and pisses me off. why do they do it? ps could the lumpo keep up for a while with it?

tr mike Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 They do it cos they have a turbo and know you haven't. If you crush their ego's convincingly they never come back for more. Now if you had a turbo??? Mike. Quote
westy Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 You’re into the realms of pure straight line bhp, gearing and drag co-efficient. If its any consolation I out dragged a 'M' Z3 last week to the point where he just plain gave up Quote
neo Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 BMW with a dump valve turbo'd mmmmm a rare beast in its self there not many turbo bm's about Quote
Westfields Rock On Posted August 19, 2002 Author Posted August 19, 2002 they manage to find and procede to p*** me off though Quote
Blatman Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 Only turbo'ed BM's I've seen have been diesels........... Roxy, you really must try harder Quote
Westfields Rock On Posted August 19, 2002 Author Posted August 19, 2002 Id like to change the engine, on faster terms than this........ but i guess you've heard it all before. Quote
brianm Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 Wroxy, dont they put bends in the roads round Donny? If you cant catch em round these, and I know they exist, well maybe a 2.3 sierra diesel is called for? Quote
westy Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 Id like to change the engine, on faster terms than this........ but i guess you've heard it all before. the problem with any sort of upgrade to your car be it engine or handling is you get used to it. When I upgraded my exhaust the extra horses were superb now it’s the norm, when I upgraded the gearbox it was superb now its norm..the secret with life is satisfaction...rant over Quote
JonnyBoy Posted August 19, 2002 Posted August 19, 2002 I had a play with a beut new M3 today. Its a quick car but only lost me when he passed 100...not me occifer, strictly 70 for me! saw him at the next lights, told him he had a brake light out and chuckled when he told me he was taking it to be fixed...******. nice motor, but i'm not stupid enough to try and race it. traction control seems to be a wonderful thing though..for lazy fools Quote
Mike H Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 So straight line speed is important for a Westfield afterall! You can't always find a twisty road when you need one - ie in the middle of a traffic light race. Mike Quote
