Bumada's S5x Project E30

[bumada]

Thanks for the subs. I don't have many updates as I'm getting married in September so all my funds have shifted. I did take the car to VIR in March and it was so much fun and exposed some areas of the car that could use some improvements as well as me. I'm looking to get upgraded sway bars, better seats, maybe stiffer springs. I also broke both brake ducts and a headlight while on the track. But other than that, the car ran great with no issues.

What spring rates did you go with for your coilovers and do you happen to know what the rear spring length is?

8k front 10k rear. I'm not sure what the length of the rear spring is. I did realize that if you want to go really low, you'll need a shorter spring than the one that comes with the kit.

I put the suede Nardi wheel on today. I think I'm liking the look better.

It'll be my first time. Hopefully I'll get addicted and start doing a bunch of different events.

You're kicking ass on this thing! Also, I spy sports seats now.

Good eye. I have a friend that had some sport seats in storage. I snagged them for an upcoming track event.

Again, I suck at the continuous update thing. It's been about 2 weeks since I've started driving around in this car. I am registered to take it to Virginia International raceway in March so I'm trying to get some miles on it. Here are some of the completed pictures.

I still need to rewire the harness into a neat c101 plug, buy some better rotors and pads, get a new air filter, work out a solution to eliminating the evap check engine code, and to clean up everything as a whole.

Nice build! Btw you can use late model (airbag) blinker/wiper controls or.. just bend what you have.

Interesting. That's the first time I've heard that. I haven't driven the car in awhile, but if it really becomes annoying, I'll remember that.
