I haven't done a 1/4 since then, but will this summer with the 5 speed. Just a question to all the ricers on the forum: Do you really HAVE $3500 to spend on a supercharger? If not, PLEASE don't post, there are plenty of articles/threads about the DASC, MASC (your welcome ), and SEAM chargers. Do some damn research! There is a button in the upper right side of your screen, it says "SEARCH", give it a try, it's a lot of fun! __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 04-10-2006, 07:26 AM | #32 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Cherry Hill, NJ Posts: 127 | midnight autowerks has a kit out putting 214 rwhp down, not too bad it's 3500 for stage 3, 42 lb. injectors smaller pulleys, plus thats what stock evos throw down i believe. But then again do you want to trust a brand called midnght autowerks, oh well. | | | 04-10-2006, 08:50 PM | #33 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: MN Posts: 155 | Quote: Originally Posted by DustenT Just for reference, I did 14.43 @ 101mph with an automatic transmission.

My car still isn't running yet but I should be ready for the next one on May 6. It might be cool if we could make a meet out of it. it is $37 to race and $10 to watch. __________________ live with boost | | | 04-10-2006, 09:40 PM | #34 | doesn't care about you.

I'm pretty busy this summer with the local BMW CCA chapter, they have a track day at Road America and BlackHawk. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 04-10-2006, 10:15 PM | #35 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: MN Posts: 155 | pm sent __________________ live with boost | | | 04-11-2006, 05:19 PM | #36 | Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Carrick-on-Shannon...for 10 more months Posts: 74 | I must say that getting into the ti for the first time, I was a bit disappointed. The DASC (in a lighter car) had me unrealistically expecting it to be like my Street Prepared M3 but obviously, they're two completely different animals. Overall, the motor pulls quite hard, specially in the higher RPMs. When the DASC kicks in, it's like a triple shot of (gasp!) VTEC. There's no lag, either…torque is there from the get-go. I can imagine having to downshift twice as much if the car were normally-aspirated. It's very tractable and city-driving-friendly…it's an awesome streetcar! The one downside is that I really think this car is going to get me in trouble! It's so much fun to toss around,…so agile and nimble. Adding more power to that the rev-happy motor and you have recipe for misbehavior! | | | 04-12-2006, 05:35 AM | #37 | Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Houston, TX Posts: 40 | convincing enough 4 me Only liked the video enough to whatch it about 10 or eleven times! I have had my 99 ti m for about 9 months now and I'm going for the DASC. Going to use search to find out what engine prep I need to do first. I have 95k on the car. Always appreciate any tips. | | | 04-12-2006, 01:43 PM | #38 | doesn't care about you.

It depends on the driver, but I've never had a problem keeping up with anything other than an e46 m3. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 04-24-2006, 01:45 PM | #42 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Europe Posts: 136 | Dusten, I will wait your video!!!

I didn't care for the Kumho 712s I had on the car, so I burned them off. Now I have the Kumho MXs and I really like them, so no smoke shows. I'm having my supercharger rebuilt and getting the rotors coated with teflon. While the charger is out for repair, I'll probably send my ECU out to NickG for tuning. Those 2 videos are the last of the "stock" DASC kit. Someone else needs to make a video!! __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
