Meet the bastard child.

Probably want to put plates under the plinth blocks. Also, you could gain some strength following the profile of the rocker better. Of course you will loose the ability to run your wiring there. But, do you really want to run wiring between your cage and body?

[Ray Smoodiver]

Damnit and here was me about to ask for updates.

[dirtysix]

Now starts and idles, but wont rev past about 1500 and dies back to idle. Meh.

But it does run!

[dirtysix]

OK you testy little fucks, Christmas is gone and so are the hols so...

Managed a bit of work, nothing major but even a little progress is nice at the moment.

Mounted Andrews seat. Cheers fella!


Sorted a position for the shifter higher and further back than stock and uses the stock E46 stuff.



Also, because of the unknown age and specs of me poor old welder, I did some destructive testing on some tube with 3mm wall.





So with 2.5mm wall cage steel I think we're all good for weld strength.

Finally, anyone care to critique my cage landings?











Thinking maybe they protrude too far from the sill?

This?

[Farbin Kaiber]

Updates?

[m3clutch]

woof...incredible. inspiring as fuck. it would seem to be you have more than just two arms..

[coreyw]

Is there no suspension travel? It looks like the tires would rub those flares with the slightest bump? I mean they look incredible, I just don't understand how it works.

[dirtysix]

Thanks chaps. New shape flares are a huge improvement me thinks.

That shit looks like it wants a road test

Ha. Not with a driveshaft, gearshift, radiator, brake bleed, suspension, tyres, you get the idea.

[Erik]

Wow! Some of the best body work I've seen on an E30 in a while. The front bumper is pretty out there but I think it will all come together.

[kamotors]

I love those flares

[Butler]

wow
