shEck3lls0's 318i Rallycross/ DD (slow) build

[shEck3lls0]

Season starts in 8 days. I still have a good amount to do. Luckily I am on spring break next week and will only be working in the mornings.

This past weekend however, I decided to do a little bit of offroading with the car for the heck of it. Of course the day after I got my skid plate in (and didnt put it on). Broke an oil pan and had to get towed home.... Went home, put new pan on along with the skid plate.


Went down this hill. Which bent my already messed up rear valance.




The broke the oil pan not even doing anything stupid... Just caught a rock climbing a small hill.


Came home, and put on the skid plate, very beefy. 11 gauge. :)


I have a good amount of stuff to do before the first event including:
-Change fuel filter and make some plastic protection for it out of an old trashcan.
-Install e-brakes
-Reweld part of my exhaust/a hanger I broke offroading.
-See if I can get a working coolant gauge so I dont blow up.

And then a picture from Cars and Coffee earlier in the day.

First event complete! And with a little rep of the dirty e30s rallycross sponsor. IMBM Parts.

I've had to DD my rallycar the last couple months cause my brother got in an accident with my suburban I had been driving.


Since I have been doing a ton of work to the my other street car, I have been daily driving the rallycar. I had to redo the exhaust as it fell off. Added a little bosozoku style.





Then felt a clunking in the front right. The control arm bolt came a little bit loose.
Also need some new motor mounts as they are coming apart and looking weak.
If you can notice, my 11 gauge steel plate has a little bit of a bend in it on the side.





Also threw in the NRG from my other car as I picked up a momo for that car.

you just did that exhaust so people wouldn't bump you in grid line. :P
