[kishg]

ok so down the home stretch here.. going for annual tech and an alignment on monday. getting the interior and safety stuff done now..

first up, kill switch. thanks to the great thread on spece30.com this was a no-brainer. turk did an amazing job on it..came out like oem:





finished painting the cage.. what a chore that was.. there must be an easier way to do this :)



steering quick disconnect is on:



seat is in. used vac mounts and side mounts to get it centered and low:





finally, the window net is mounted. still need to finish up rollbar padding, center net and fire system tomorrow.

thanks for that vid! cage is all finished and exhaust is on now.. it's somewhat quieter but not much!

looks good, Kish. I have that same quick release on my wheel. Like it a lot.

And yeah, the Spec exhaust isn't exactly quiet . . . :-)

No probs.

Hopefully we can get a vid of it running now :)

car has been on track finally!! took it to njmp thunderbolt last Thursday for a DE with PCA. Car ran fine except for a hard start and idle hunting condition. hard start was due to a faulty FPR which has been replaced and the idle hunt was due to a bad connection at the injector harness. both issues are now fixed. motor felt good (i was granny shifting to let it break in slowly) and the car handled well. overall was a good test. going to summit point in 2 weeks with pca for more testing.

Fantastic work on the underbody and all suspension components. That is hard work!

I had the opportunity to see this car in person on Saturday at Summit Point...what an awesome build!

Also, Kish is a great guy. He and the other E30 folks were really cool about letting me poke around on their cars for ideas and inspiration as I try to draw my build to some form of readiness.
