Nice Post
Pretty jealous of that garage
The early model with the style 3s on it looked smick
Funny how we all have fallen back in love with m20s

Nice documentation TJ, and your photog skills are still great!
Enjoy the new chassis, you've built a cool little toy!!!

i love to read treads like this, glad to see this car getting so much love and attention! Must be a blast to track this, and big fan of the wheels

Glad to have had your help in the project! Just wish you were still in Florida to tune my Megasquirt setup. It's ready to drop in, but honestly I'm delaying it because your chip tune has been running so well.

Awesome thread. Great work great
Documentation.

Just read everything for the last hour or soo.

When you get the cage installed. Consider having the eyebolts welded in.

The inner lap belts in the trans tunnel are challenging to do. The center support bearing inside the tunnel is kinda in the same spot as to where the eye bolts need to go.

So the eye bolts need to be in front of the bearing or behind it.

There are pics of this in my build thread.

Thank you! And yes, the plan is to weld in reinforcement plates to attach the eyebolts to for the harnesses. It seems like the sub-belt eyebolts are going to be simple, but the trans tunnel ones will be the difficult ones. I will definitely check out your thread for reference.

My seat is pretty far back. The side mounts slightly overhang the floor plates in the back (but are still mounted very securely). We'll be taking measurements to make sure the harnesses are at the right angles, then seeing what we have to work with for the plates and eyelets.

Nice thread and glad to see you back on an E30.

I remember E30sport and BY!!

BY and E3S, now that's a throwback! Thanks for checking out the thread.

Wow is really all I have to say sir, what an incredible and clean job you've continued to do on all your cars. I applaud you sir

And man that BRG early model was to die for, sucks about the frame issues but man.... that color, euro bumpers and stroker motor are what dreams are made of.

Thank you! The BRG car really was beautiful. I never used to be an early model fan, but that car totally changed my mind. I wish it had worked out that I could have kept that one, but it went to a good home, and I'm happy with the new project as well. It just turned out being more work than I had bargained for. Similar to jb325is, I wish I had been enjoying the car more over the last year rather than having it on jack stands. That will change in the near future though, and it will have been worth the wait!

Good read and nice car! Look forward to future updates :up:

Excellent read.

Thank you!

Looks great! I remember the silver car from way back, when I first got into BMW's, good to see you're still around. You're definitely doing all the right things with the car, and getting in to the track stuff with the right attitude and progression. Planning to come up to Road Atlanta at all?

Thanks! I just caught up on your thread too. I love your car, it's very inspiring. Sebring track time is next (hopefully this summer), but I'd love to do Road Atlanta and Roebling Road as well.
