Made a big decision lately and ordered 100square meters of carbonfiberWe'll see if the parts turn out good enough to leave them on bare carbon finish..
In two weeks we should have these finished, $879 incl. shipping worldwide:
And after that I can move on to something I'm personally more interested:

Bearings are available around the world, if you can't find any, we can provide them.
Regarding to multiple bearing life questions I took my daily's control arms for a closer inspection today, 16k miles on the clock, bearings good as new even I haven't touched them after installing so they've absorbed quite amount of mud and dirt:

We'll be making new control arm kits soon, it's gonna be full billet aluminum design and two different width options: 0+15mm and 30+15mm.Leave a comment:

Found a brief gap to fabricate the car a little bit. It was time for the rear bumper obviously.
Pieces set like this, not sure if I bring the flat floor over the edge or not, or will there be some kind of winglets, wheel well will be left open from the back anyway:
Couple of major flaws also appeared when looking from this angleLeave a comment:

Thanks a lot Jean!
Yeah the build is pretty much inspired by Group5 and DTM cars, I like the looks and the technical solutions. :)
No heater box there, but I supposed to visit another member to test the fitment, just haven't found the time for that yet.. There's a chance it would fit, at least if you'd drop down the blower assembly for an inch or so..
I'll post updates about it too for sure!Leave a comment:

Miuge - that is one AMAZING build . Simple out of this world, it's like going back to watching the old school crazy DTM cars :) Love it!
Also, what a crazy find find on the Fiat wiper assembly! It doesn't look like you have the stock heater/blower box in there, I wonder if that assembly would fit or interfere with the blower fan?
Thanks! Roll-center kits should be finished next week btw :)
Accidentally found a neat single wiper system for the project, the same part is used in E36 BTCC race cars. Before you ask where to get one, here's the part number: Fiat #77998170. It has same spline/cone angle too to fit orginal wiper arm.
This is much more simple and lighter system than the modified orginal I had earlier.Leave a comment:

I was inquiring connection rods earlier this summer, some were too expensive and some cheaper ones seemed to have a bad reputation. One day I noticed SPA Turbo makes conrods too, I had only heard their cast manifolds are great quality, but soon found out lots of their products are used in South America racing scene.
I did contact them to ask if they have BMW rods, surprisingly they promised to make me a custom set of Super-A beams :) Just got the file and this is how it supposed to look:
Didn't take too long when I had already 3D printed the part for mockup:

To be honest it doesn't put a smile on my face when I open the garage door and see it's still unfinished
Another thing, these parts are currently in production.. finally.. I tried my best to contact everyone who has been inquiring them earlier, in case I didn't: send me email or contact here: https://www.facebook.com/magnusracingteam/
Will be listed on eBay and Panjo too as soon as they're available.

LJ851: I'll make a completely new oil pump back plate and pickup pipe, pictures on previous page..
Soon it's time for updates.. Tomorrow I should be able to lay some fiberglass to front bumper, currently it's riveted together with sheet metal pieces. Spending my holidays from work so I've got time to make some progress hopefully :)
I got some interesting parts in my hands lately, makes me rethink my front setup
