Small update... kind of depressing how dead the forums are.
Headed back to Sebring this weekend. Since Homestead, I haven't done too much. My big project was adding some more peripherals, and then hardwiring ALL the peripherals. For instance, I was charging everything every evening at the hotel when at track events. Now I added in a transponder and an AiM Solo2 and I wasn't about to be charging even more things! The transponder and Solo2 are 12v, and the other 3 are 5v. I bought a small 3 port 5v USB car charger with a cigarette port, and then just cut that off and hard wired it to the car. I added in a switched bus bar for 12v switched power, and put everything on that. It's mounted high on the tranny tunnel, underneath the dash. I put power to the bus bar from the original cig lighter wire, which is 12v constant. I put it through a switch though. It's nice because you can turn on and test the peripherals without the key on. For instance, I had the car hooked up to the battery charger the other day, so I also switched on all the peripherals to make sure they are all fully charged as well before I go to the track this weekend. The batteries don't REALLY need to be charged, but they are a fail safe in case something happens with the wiring. Otherwise, they are all going to run off the car from now on (permanently plugged in).
Made a bracket for the transponder. It's mounted where the little A/C drier was in the front right corner of the engine bay, behind the passenger side headlights.
Solo2 mounted to the left of the wheel, Mylaps Racekey mounted to the right of the tablet dash. The Racekey is part of the transponder system.
I mounted a small 1.75L foam fire extinguisher next to the ebrake. Marked it up, drilled holes, used M6 rivnuts and some steel spacers for the bracket. To lift the bracket up off the center console a little bit.
I bought some more wheels locally. I need to clear some stuff out. Most of these are on the way out. The 17x9 SSR Integral A2's are going to stay, those are going to go on the E36. I am not sure what is next for my car. I fit 13 wheels in the back of the X5 easily and could still see out the back window. Then fit 12 more the next day to get all the tires dismounted.
These are my latest obsession for the E30. SSR Comp C's in bronze. They are stupid light. Maybe I'll find a set to run...
