ken o Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Still provisionally classed as a TTB base class car, at 3370 lbs? With no ** would this work? R6 +10 points 255mm tires -1 points for going down from 265mm TTB Tune +5 points (power max ~380HP) Springs +2 Shocks +3 Camber plates 0 points Total 19 points top of TTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obzezzed350 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Doesnt the provisional have TTB**? Only 5 points to spend...looks like a TTA car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattm Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The heavier 335i is a TTC** car at a higher weight so I would think the 1M would rate 2 more stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Joseph Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Looks like my 1M is destined for TTA (current mods put it in TTA already) and i get to chase vettes. TTB** base (24 points to top of TTA) 255 R6 = 9 Charge Pipe = 1 Intake = 1 Downpipe/exhaust = 2 Remove Cat = 1 Tune = 5 Shocks = 3 Springs = 2 Camber Plater = 0 Total Points = 24 Guess there's no way to upclass a car? (ie to be a TTA Base car), but would be nice if the base is minus a *) TTA base (19 points to top of TTA) - wishful thinking! 255 R6 = 0 Charge Pipe = 1 Intake = 1 Downpipe/exhaust = 2 Remove Cat = 1 Tune = 5 Shocks = 3 Springs = 2 Camber Plater = 0 Total Points = 15 (4 free points = Intercooler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie to be a TTA Base car), but would be nice if the base is minus a *)) there is 2nd paragraph under 6.1.1 has some details. I've heard of people sending in 3 out of 4 parts of a car's classification and asking what the 4th parameter would be as well. (Those 4 parts are: What car it is (ie 2012 BMW 1M), competition minimum weight, competition maximum whp, base classification). The only downside is under that reclass you'll get locked into a dyno number you can't go over and a weight you have to be above. Or you'll have to re-submit the info to Greg to get it changed. Some cars come out ahead by going under this "dyno reclass" rule because under Mod C1 you don't take points anymore (as it's assumed the change in base class and/or weight will account for those points). Its all in how efficently points-wise your car responds to power mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Don't forget the +5 points that you have to take for being force-inducted . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbrew8991 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Don't forget the +5 points that you have to take for being force-inducted . I imagine that's what the "Tune +5" is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Joseph Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Don't forget the +5 points that you have to take for being force-inducted . I imagine that's what the "Tune +5" is. yes...just realized where to find that +5 for being forced induced. So basically the 1M is TTB** + 5 points, so stock its top of TTB.

Its all in how efficently points-wise your car responds to power mods. If you really want a base class of TTA no * then get the car weighed and dyno'd with your tune. Send the info to Greg as above. When I did it he gave me three choices at my car weight as to what base class I could use depending on RWHP. I just have to make the weight he assigned and RWHP and I can ignore the 383 vs 350 points, the intake, exhaust and other mods that adds up points quickly. Now I can concentrate on suspension and tire points instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Joseph Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I will definitely do that...prepping the car now with mods and will dyno after. thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Greg G. Posted September 27, 2011 National Staff Share Posted September 27, 2011 TTA (no asterisk) is a LOWER class than TTB** (in most cases) due to tire size points credit. We generally avoid classing cars in TTA (no asterisk) for this reason, but there are a few, and their re-class numbers are WORSE than if they took the TTB** re-class. The exception would be cars that generally run on big tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
