What an excellent build.

May I suggest a trunk lid wing, wider wheels, rear diffuser and a little more low.

You may, although I might ignore it.

I do still have a fair way go, though, so...

Wow man! I havent seen this thread in a while. So happy I came back to it.

So glad i didnt start looking at this thread the day he started. Id be a psycho by now pulling my hair out waiting for the next post. Epic car.

4 farkin years and I had a gutsfull too.
Anyway, tyres on their way, suspension in the works and cooling system sorted.

Everything works properly so almost time for a decent drive/track hack.

So, I may, or may not, have driven this thing from Hville to Silverdale the other day. And it may, or may not, be something of a hoot to drive.
Noisy (no sound deadning), smelly, bumpy (she must be pretty light, it's been some work getting the height down) and a bit twitchy (needs a wheel alignment).

All systems work! Plenty more fettling to do but these things are never really finished I guess.

coincidently Hansville and Silverdale are towns in western washington too...perhaps we will cross paths in an alternate reality ....
keep up the good work, the car rocks.

Quick vid from a mates E30.
Managed a trackday at Hampton on Good Friday.
Car ran well all day with no major problems save a leaking inputshaft seal in the gbox.
Bolted some slicks on and managed a 1.22.9.

Pretty slow, but awesome fun.
