MSPORTWORLD · 09-11-2012, 10:46 AM

How'd they get more HP with less boost?

ciomas · 09-11-2012, 12:31 PM

the torque is incredible

GTM_Challenge · 09-11-2012, 06:52 PM

Good to know AST should already have coilovers available for F30

My question exactly, and an intake restriction too. Must be lots of RPM's.

BuraQ · 09-11-2012, 07:13 PM

Of course the F30 should have more parts when the E90 laid down the foundation

turb0mike · 09-11-2012, 07:18 PM

Absolutely stunning. F30 is really starting to grow on me!!!

Probably not. I doubt anyone's manufactured one for the car yet. Personally, I hope they don't convert it with a LSD. I hope they keep winning with as close to the original car as possible.

Why do so many think an LSD is golden?

Because it's more entertaining, it's mechanical, has heritage, blah blah...

Supposedly they banned Traction Control from NASCAR and F1 because it's more beneficial than LSD. Maybe Team Afrox is on to something.... *shrug

I also figured with all thats been done to the F30 and lsd would've been a no brainer, when the car looked like it was at it's limit itdidnt seem like it had an lsd

I cannot find it in the specs but I just guess that thing surely has a www.drexler.com lsd.

?????

Any racecar just needs a mechanical LSD.

Edit:It looks like that F30 racer doesn't have a mech lsd though....

Cheers

Anodite10 · 09-15-2012, 03:53 PM
