We just did a new dyno with the current mods on the car to see how it reacted. It is very nice outside with an ambient temperature of about 80F. The car is running Agency Power Catless Downpipes, Agency Power Exhaust with Ti Tips, Agency Power Intercooler, JB3 ECU, Riss Racing Intake. We run a Mustang Dyno which reads a bit lower then some of the DynoJets runs out there. We were running pump gas of 91 octane. The made an impressive 322 rwhp and 375 ft/lbs of torque. Once we remove the center pipe and run race gas, I bet we see 350 wheel horsepower. More info coming up!

Took our Project 135I out to the drags on Friday night for some fun.  And why not!  Only 100F outside in the Arizona desert, alittle sweat and poor running turbos is always neat.  Along with our buddy in his Nissan R34 GTR, we made quite the show.  The little steptronic 135I equipped with a JB3 ECU update, Riss Racing Intake, Code3 Intercooler, and Agency Power Exhaust put down a 13.3 second 1/4 mile run with a trap speed of 106mph.  To show how hot it was, the GTR with 600 HP ran a 12.6.  Both of these on pump gas of course.  One of the guys at the track took this awesome picture of us at the start line.  Enjoy!

One of Vivid Racing’s customers took our advice to try the JIC Cross suspension for his new BMW 135I.  Having used the Cross coilovers on many of our Project Porsche cars, our success with them on our latest Project BMW has been the same.  We shipped Brian a set of the coilovers which feature 16 way adjustable dampening, front camber plates, rear pillowball mounts, and adjustable ride height to install.  He also got the H&R front adjustable sway bar and a JIC Cross aluminum front strut bar to install.  Check out all the pictures from his installation here – http://www.vividracing.com/forums/gallery/browseimages.php?c=424

Vivid Racing is a proud sponsor of the Berk Technology BMW 135I Time Attack car. This past weekend they campaigned their 135i project and their S2000 project at the Redline Time Attack season opener at Buttonwillow Raceway. This Redline event was the biggest in years as the country’s best teams came to compete. Track conditions were less than ideal but the Berk Team was still able to beat out some much more serious looking cars! Putting the products to the test on a rigorous weekend of track racing, the Berk Technology 135i piloted by Jeff Tyler, placed sixth (2:03.612) in the highly competitive RWD Street Class against 62 other highly modified sports cars.

The S2000, driven by Charles Ng, had great success as well, placing third place in the same class (2:01.044) with extremely limited modifications proving the products on the car fully help maximize the horsepower and handling potential from the Honda chassis. The Berk Technology S2000 and the products from the sponsors really showed that a potent mix of a only a few well chosen parts and driving skill can beat even the best of them!

As the exclusive distributor for the Berk Technology BMW 135I exhaust system, we wanted to create a new video showing the amazing tone as the car rips past us on the street.  For an exhaust muffler, not only does it save weight, but it gains power too.  Its reduce restriction still keeps a nice tone inside the cabin but gives your 135I a more aggressive sound to others outside.  Check out more on the Berk Exhaust system here – http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/berk-technology-racing-muffler-exhaust-system-bmw-135i-07-p-60891.html
