The team took the Condor Speed Shop Spec E30 #12 out on its Second outing at Homestead this weekend. We made it through all 4 races this weekend without any major issues. We do have some homework to do before the March event, including pulling the M20 in favor of a freshly rebuilt motor, along with adding our new livery.

update time!

Jan 10
Woo Hoo! no more red fender!


Jan 11
Took the car to the dyno, I wasn't too happy with the results, so its time for a new motor! The HP was in the upper 130 range. it needs to be around 155 hp at the wheels...


Jan 20
So, i began to pull the engine and replace it with a freshly rebuilt M20.


Feb 21
The new rebuild is nothing fancy. Just an oem spec rebuild. I Installed a new IJ scraper.


Tight & timed


Feb 24
Assembled the fuel rail on the spec M20 with a new FPR and some refreshed injectors from Witchhunter Performance.


Lots of new shiny parts.


She's ready to go! Just waiting on the rebuilt alternator.

Looks killer guys!

Its been awhile since the last update:

The #12 is done! She's got a fresh M20 and new Livery! We freaking love how it turned out! Huge props to Jason over at KD vinyl who provided and cut all the vinyl for us, and to all the Condor "shop rats" for their help all along the way (Jay, Tag, Christina, John, Belina, Shawn, Rock, you all know who you are).


March 15
We finished prepping the motor, installed the clutch, resealed & mounted the trans, installed the starter, and threw it all on the hoist. THe motor was in the car in no time.






I contacted Jason Knoph at KD Vinyl to translate my new livery concept from a digital file to vinyl. It took a lot of time to install, close to 15 hours! But we love it! It's a modern twist to a classic livery.






March 23
Headed to Homestead for another round of Spec E30 Racing.







John was there running HPDE



So was Belina Tight






Jonnycash was there testing out his newly caged spec e30(another one of our many projects)




E30 Compound at Homestead




March 26
We didn't do as well as expected, so Back to the Dyno to get some answers.




turns out the car was down on power... we made a 20 HP improvement by messing with stock AFMs and DMEs




April 25
In preparation for the next Sebring Event, Jason came by again to finish Livery




We get it done. By reason or by force!




On the way to Sebring




I Absolutely love how it turned out.

The car looks great and it sounds like you've got everything sorted out pretty well. I had no idea Spec E30 ran down here.

yes, we run Sebring and Homestead, you should come out sometime.

My E30 barely passes tech at auto-x, so the track is out of the question for the time being. That said, that's the ultimate goal for this project, so I'm sure I'll see you guys out there eventually!

Is it too much to ask what kind of power you were making before and after the AFM/DME change? I'm in-progress on a turbo set-up, so it doesn't really have any bearing on my build, but it might help others troubleshoot issues.

The horsepower improved by 3.6 hp after may different combinations of DMEs and AFMs
