L, great talking to you today! I'm very excited to hear where you guys are with the car!

And, of course, thanks for helping me with my build ;)

Can't wait to see more updates!

L & Crew.

Been following along and thought of you when I saw this pic my buddy snapped on a work trip to Macua. He stopped by the Grand Prix Museum there...

Of course, needed to include the e30 too.





Take care,
Randy

Very excited to see progress on this. I've always pictured this being in my collection some day.

Car should be back in two week from cage install. Guys up at DSG(DentSport.com) are doing it along with some other work.

Then its back to GPS for the coil over kit install.

This just arrived. Custom semi gloss black grill. This thing is going to look and drive nice.

Nice work man. This will be an incredible track car.

After a backbreaking day of labor, the interior of the 16v is almost fully stripped. It's truly amazing how much wiring came out of the cabin! And those 5-way adjustable electric seats weighed a ton; literally 45-50 lbs each.

If all goes according to plan, the car should be going off to the cage-builder next weekend. Can't wait!

Cant wait to see all this come together.

big updates are coming up. Been gathering up the parts. Still cant get over how little is ready of the shelf for this chassis.

As Levent says, just about everything on this car is turning out to be a custom job. Every system on the car is being comprehensively upgraded to deal with the stresses of hard track use; we're largely on our own in terms of coming up with solutions.

:puppy: patiently awaiting greatness

Huge developments are taking place in preparation for the car's late April track debut:

The rear subframe has been repaired and will be strengthened.
The LSD is being rebuilt for more lock-up.
A custom coilover suspension is on the way from California.
Custom wheels are on the way from the UK.
The interior is being stripped out and an SCCA-legal full cage is going in.
Seat mounts are being modified to accommodate Recaro race buckets.
Brembo BBK is on.
Various electrical gremlins have been dealt with.

That should be enough to get us through the upcoming track season. Then we move the project into Phase III :twisted:

Saw this on Speedhunters the other day and thought of you guys. Hope the move into the new building is going smoothly and this gets more attention! Do you have any updates?
