HPF Blows Up Transmission At Laguna Seca (GTGP)

HPF Chris · 10-28-2010, 11:01 PM

I know you guys want updates on the 135/335 stuff we have coming out. The jigs for the 335i exhaust were completed today. Now we can start production on those. Expect one more month.

Now.. One of the reasons for the delays was the Global Tuner Grand Prix 2010 at Laguna Seca last weekend.

Here is some more video footage.

I'm obviously talking about the exhaust and generally 335 stuff

Alan l. · 10-29-2010, 09:58 AM

wow i can't believe with the widebody/tire combo you generated enough chassis flex to bend and break off the factory M3 strut brace!

A4rings · 10-29-2010, 11:34 AM

holy hell that was sweet. also, did anyone else notice that rear engine gti with the b5 s4 engine?

MF80 · 10-30-2010, 01:23 AM

No wonder why it took HPF so long to release one product for N54...

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 10-30-2010, 12:15 PM

Is this thread going to be locked also since it has nothing to do with E90/92?

marcvtec · 11-26-2010, 05:05 PM

After watching the in car cam, the driver needs to be a tad better on his apex corners he seems to brake to early and come out of the corner too late.
You must foresee the line better my young jedi.
