Long term non BMW project teaser

[ZM Blue Devil]

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.

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

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

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!

Likewise Richard.

The car should be back this week. http://www.dentsport.com/ has had it for a for the roll cage.

wonder which DTM replica will be finished first?

[ZM Blue Devil]

He is still working on that thing? How long has it been 3 years?

[kingston]

Yeegads! What DO they put in the water in New Jersey?

Wow. Just wow.

L, that cage looks like it could withstand a nuclear blast!

It's the first time I'm seeing that other project car. Very cool to see another 16v build! :up:

There are several design elements on that rollcage that are a bit puzzling to me. I can already see a couple of obvious things that would cause major trouble when trying to pass SCCA, NASA, or FIA tech. And judging by the placement of the main hoop, they must have a seriously short driver!

wonder which DTM replica will be finished first?

We're expecting to get our car back from DENT Sport Garage this upcoming Friday. Then there are some small details to sort out; but the car is basically ready. The 16v will make it's track debut at Mosport the last weekend of April. So, if we're competing with the other shop, I think it's safe to say we've got this one in the bag :p

Some more details.

Prototype front strut from Ground Control vs. stock...




Prototype rear suspension set-up from Ground Control...




Strut housings done and power coated GT3 Orange...




Window net installed...




Starting to paint cage...




Recaro Pole Position GRP seats (before cleaning)...




I'm not too crazy about the color of the seats (I wanted black). But they're light, FIA-approved, and I got a good deal on them locally. They cleaned up pretty nicely: took them apart; checked for cracks; thoroughly cleaned the covers; and put them back together. Now they don't look half bad.

Cant wait till this is under our roof again, then we will have to finish up the matching color e30 m3 and race them.
