C-Mart

I have a Modine Hot Dawg T'd off of my hot water heater on a thermostat.

 

Turn it on for 15 minutes before going in the garage and its toasty.

E92 all the way over E36.

 

BTW, you may have trouble fitting a coyote motor.

 

I'm sure you've seen this, but:

 

One of my buddies from college is getting his racing license in my E30 this weekend so I have been burning the candle at both ends getting it back together from paint and fixing a bunch of little issues that I rushed through last year. More photos to come.

 

 

E30 is the lightest so you'll likely get the most bang for your buck there. Problem with E30s is you lose the brake booster and the biggest tire you can run in the back is a 235/245. These are getting more and more expensive even for a shell.

 

E36 has a little more room in the bay and for the rear tire. It will come to your personal opinion of E36s - I personally don't like the aesthetically so I would skip the E36.

 

E46 is a sweet spot in my opinion. The electronics are a little more advanced, but not so much where you need to spend thousands to get your gauges working. Plenty of room under the hood. Plenty of room for a big tire. Really great aftermarket support for other parts.

 

Anything past here gets cool, but has less aftermarket support or is more expensive. E87/E92 would be rad, but again, more expensive.

 

The E39/E34/7 series is a different animal. Are you looking for a sports car or a cruiser?

 

As for the E31 argument the V12 in that car is a joke. I sold a manual 850i earlier this year and haven't missed it a day. That would make a cool LS swap as an overall improvement to the chassis.

Are you staying in the same area of the city or somewhere else. I’d like to get out of the suburbs and get a place with a detached garage.

 

 

I got the front mostly on yesterday. I need to figure out the sway bar and a get you there alignment. I put multi leafs on the back so I can drive it until the parts come for the mini tub get here and I get time to do it all. Then I’ll start planning for the LS swap. Should be fun at 3100lbs and 400 whp. Then we’ll see if it needs a blower or turbo or not.

 

Not sure yet. Original plan was to move in 2-3 years to the foxfield area and a lot of those houses already have detached shops. This next house will probably just be a nicer house, but nothing crazy. 3 car garage and hopefully high enough ceilings for a lift and no HOA or one that allows trailers. Most likely Roxborough or Parker.

How’s the bimmer going. We need to meet up some time. I picked up a project too. 67 Camaro RS. I’m waiting for all new coil over suspension front and back.

 

I'm moving this week so I've been making progress so it can leave my garage. I got the new KW suspension for the E30 M3 and waiting on a few parts to arrive so I can get it all installed. It should see the track late July/early August.

 

Camaro looks fun!

Hey, a fellow CR Denverite.

Is there a huge difference between using a PC and console (PS4)?

 

In terms of quality, races, hardware, etc?

TTQ B4U > Geeto67

The new wheels on these older 4runners are a no brainer. Good luck with the auction.

Did I miss what tear end setup your going with ?

 

Just a medium case diff for now.

 

Waiting to see if I break anything before over building it. I won't be launching this car its a track car.

if I was getting one, which im not, I would invest it immediately.

 

I was under the impression that everyone was getting one, but not everyone gets to keep it.

Buy oil.

 

Something like WTI or if you are really feeling frisky ERX.

Cleaning parts that will never be seen. Trying to do it the right way while everything is apart.

 

 

Operations for a tech/ecom company. My sales team uses clearslide to present to the new brands we onboard.

My company uses clearslide because it doesn't require external parties to download anything. I am unaware of any free alternatives.

As usual, things are getting out of hand.

 

Cleaning up some overspray (from a previous paint job) on the front subframe/suspension, which is all brand new. Rear subframe/suspension had some parts that I had not addressed (bushings mainly). New gas tank with a fuel pump I have a little more faith in. After this the car should have all new parts within the last 100 miles. Track days in this month... I also picked up a sandblast unit, which is helping me clean up parts and prep them for weld in reinforcements.

 

Progress is slow.

 

Redoing all the black trim in SEM trim paint so it matches.

 

Waiting on a ton of parts from ECS and FCP, but once that is all here it should come back together nicely.

So after rushing to get the car running for some races last year and not loving the new paint job I decided to take it all apart - get it painted - and put it back together again when I have time on my side.

 

I went with 964 911 mint green. Its a lot of green right now, but all of my trim was recently done in SEM trim flat black + lots of carbon fiber I think it that will really help offset it.

 

Keep it up. I started endurance racing last year and my only regret is not starting sooner.

I did this recently and got rented a convertible 997. Much fun.

Thanks. I had the same ones (not in black) on my Excursion. I think Ford did a good job with the Lariat Sport blacked out. Pricing wasn't THAT much more more new than used either so went that route.

Picked up a new toy hauler a few weeks ago

Glad to see you’re having fun with it, but where’s the in-car track footage?!

 

Open to suggestions. I bought a roll cage mount for my phone, but the video is REALLY shaky. I have some, but probably not worth posting. I also have some chase footage from PPIR, but haven't edited it yet.

 

What do you do for in car?

Took the car to the High Plains Raceway a few weeks ago for a shakedown. Outside of a blown power steering line the car ripped.

 

Week after I went to competition driving school at Pikes Peak International Raceway and am now licensed to wheel to wheel race in a number of series. More videos to come.

 

Still a long way to go to get the car how I want it, but she runs and drives now.
