Yes. You're right. He should be careful upon entering the pits from a hot lap at Road Atlanta, then removing the RA-1s from his car and installing the street setup, then driving 45 miles south to his home. The ambient temperature should still be somewhere in the neighborhood of a scorching 75 degrees. Brilliant.

maybe I could remount them when I get home...do some crazy donuts in the cul-de-sac...then dismount them and put them awy???

I'm just sayin'.

Alright...I had to take another break today to help a friend go pick up some furniture for his house.

But...I was able to come home and get it assembled and up on the wall.





But...it seemed to low...and I was not happy with having only drilled into 4 studs. So...it came back down and I moved it higher and so that I could secure it to 5 studs.

Then I put all the mess back under it.





And added a special touch...


All done!

Time for more beer!

What are you dropped on btw?

[EuroCar318]

Thats pretty freaking cool. I would have been worried about the weight and the ability for the wall to support it, but it looks like its holding fine! Definitely a sweet little project.

[themitchster359]

that's a great idea! it looks good, too. plastic-dip seem to be the in thing...i have a few cans at the house as well.

GC Coilovers with 440/650 Sping rates and Koni Adjustables all around.

Yeah...I was pretty wary about it as well. But, the 5 anchors going into studs should be enough. And the big thing was getting both ends anchored. So...the two verticle arms are exactly 64 inches apart.

Thanks! I am really happy with the finish.

I love the e30 and all, but the e39 should be parked in the garage instead of the e30.

The E39 normally is parked in the garage. However, it is actually on loan right now...with it's previous owner...and parked in a garage!
