yea, literally JBD will only need 20 seconds from you to plug it in =)
well you have to put the car in sleep mode 25 mins prior tho... but after that the install is a snap!

i think i did my JB+ back in the day in 10 sec.

I think the weather will clear up and the track will be open. I'm gonna be there if UPS comes through with my half shaft before 5.

Hello all,

I'm Charles and I'm new to BMW and I just purchased a black 06 BMW 330 i premium package with the brown interior.

I work in Barstow (socal) but I come to sac one weekend a month as it is my hometown.

I hope to meet new people in this post and possibly meet up when I come down to sac.

I tried to get new turbos out of them like 6 months back but told me to go away.....and remove my "mods" before they would do it (I'm assuming they were referring to the downpipes).

Really?! Well then... That's some good news as I too am over 60K and on my CPO warranty now. I would love to leave mods on when getting service work. Was it maintenance or repair?

Did you get them? Was it dry enough to go? If so, what were the results?

Welcome to the group. Glad to see this thread getting stronger everyday.

Does anyone know where I can get my window trim wrapped in vinyl in socal area? I would like to find the cheapest rate, but not sacrifice on quality. Thanks!

Sorry, this is a Sacramento thread, you might want to ask the SoCal guys (and be more specific with the area Socal = San Diego to Bakersfield)

If you are asking about Sac, I would recommend Tint Pros or Genesis.

Any recommendations on where to buy a JB?
I've only seen the burgertuning.com so far.

cowbell · 06-29-2011, 05:22 PM

Sac Raceway looks to be open for biz tonight.

Who going?

Have not been in over five years. Same format? Just arrive and get in line?

And, do they really enforce the helmet if faster than 14 second rule?

JBD is harder to come by, i'll say yea, burger site is the best bet to go

cowbell · 06-30-2011, 12:23 AM

Well...
Made it to the track.

First run of the night was fastest at 14.163 @ 96.796 mph and funny enough I had forgotten to take traction control off.

2nd run 14.497 @ 95.721
3rd run 14.655 @ 95.944
Last run 14.573 @ 95.827

Each run had break applied, started in 2nd, revved to between 1500 and 2500

I was hoping to break 14 but I need more practice. I was pretty nervous each run.

My best 60ft was first run @ 2.191

wow, nice for a stock "d"... very impressive!!!
now you know with JBD then you will be dialing into 13s bracket... and also im sure you will see some nicer time if you can work the 60ft time into 1.8-1.9.

too bad im not a drag pro... i suck at drag racing, hahahaha.

my best 60ft according to the COBB AP was 2.29,

I'm going HPDE2 with my friend in HPDE1. I'm not sure of your experiece with NASA but they run 1 & 2 together. They will have an A and B group. I hope to join the same group as my STi-driving friend. When we get there, we should get you in the same group. There's another member, meepster, that will attend hpde2.

Fingers crossed we all get assigned to the same group. If not, we can always ask for them to make changes. Since you're in HPDE1, you will share an instructor that bounces between you and another driver that attends the opposite group. That's the easiest thing to switch.

Lastly, take a look at my avatar. I'll be there in my white e92 alongside a black STi. Meepster drives a blue e92. Let's park next to eachother.

I've never been camping either... but then again the phrase my parents always used was "indians don't go camping" so I guess i never will

Sounds good. I'll keep an eye out for you guys. My car is the one in my signature below, should be easy to spot with the vented hood.

I'll be there at 7 as i didn't realize until too late we need to get our cars inspected, so i'll have to opt for the overpriced inspection at the track.

lawwailok · 07-01-2011, 08:27 PM

damn UPS hold up my packages an extra day at the hub for no fucking reason. my wheels are supposed to be delivered today but they hold it out, and now i won't be able to enjoy my new shoes over the weekend.... FML!

dbjb · 07-01-2011, 08:41 PM

Timmahh, I took my 3 camping last week. Let me just say, never again. Was dodging freaking potholes and gravel.

Skow, I'll see you there. I'll probably be a little closer to 730.

Eric, you could have wasted a day sweating in 100 degree weather with your suspension pulled apart only to find out nothing was wrong with your suspension. Instead, there was 1 not-so-tight bolt on your steering rack that caused a concerning creaking noise.

Of course, that's just hypothetical. I, of course, didn't spend my whole freaking day that way!
