Thanks all! :) Glad I can share with you all.

I doubt Ill make it to a Track event his year. I'm trying to take it "easy" and focus on work more. Trying to reach some goals. Maybe make something like PCOB Winterfest at Sebring in January if I can stay focused through the year.

The Vintage sans The Vintage

A. You cant cancel The Vintage
B. I'm still gunna send it

A Full Stop before A Full Trip


2 TO TANGLE. Going to vintage like 1987 DTM non wide body cars thinning out. Team style 21 reporting for duty.


Resetting the ODO, Yes I've only put 1000 miles on it since 3 years ago...


Food Stop, Knoxville, TN






2nd Stop - Though the Tail of the Dragon to Fontana Village, NC




ONTO Ashville, Some Blue Ridge Parkway stops, Great Get Away Places!




























Next up, The Foundation














Ashville things


Found A few others hanging around, But not much. We arrived.






Back in Ashville, Onsite curbside AC service.


Clarion wasn't as Clarion as I though Clarion should have been Clarion.




And that means... The next day its time to go back... Removal is opposite of Installation.








Back in Knoxville, The Vintage lust begins


@KI4UJO VS roadkill chronicles

2173KM - 1350 Miles. More miles I believe than what I've put on the car since I've owned it.


Vintage trips always too short, but mission accomplished.

Definitely the thread we need right now.

[rzerob]

Congratulations on finally getting it road worthy.

June 2021

Progress, Slowing back down, recouping, catching up on work. But I do make effort for some getaway runs on the weekend.

Shop visitors usually have something cool, was interesting seeing lachs on a vert.Something In the works, don't know if ill go that far.... we'll see.....


Went out to the Country to check out a Local drift event at the roundy round track. Good stuf




Whelp, My tires flat... Wasn't ready to swap wheels, but this pushed me towards it. The old thick catalouge with rear springs removed trick got them from not rubbing most the time... Better fitment later.. No Installation photos..


But always looking for reasons to go on drives, Down the river.


Be some good shots for some AM sun.




Reviewing with Rabid Racing Development... The S52 with S54 throttle kit sits about 1/4 closer to the brake booster.
E36 S54 16'' strut stud to airbox seam

E36 S52 RRD S54 ITB kit 15.75" Strut stud to airbox seam


Id like to do the RRD ITB setup, but Ill most likely have to move the booster over to a strait shot into the pedal, and not have and offset clevis. The ABS fitment is already setup for that, Maybe an off season project.

Work
Slowly getting back in the groove. 726 Floor gets closer every week









Insanity right?


I have a part time guy now, progress is quicker, but still so very labor intensive. Rolled rockers / fenders complete


New Sound deadening and Nine stitch interior Reinstalled

July 2021

Prog cont.
ODO: 3888

Ive added 2500+ miles since vintage, running errands to neighboring cities, long drives, Long drives, but trying to save enjoyment for the weekends so I can keep retention of focus for work throughout the week! Its a great place,and a great distraction from the real world.

A photo from the vintage trip. KILLBOY


Dyno chart: Ive battled an idle issue for a bit, Im starting to narrow it down to intake gas reversion from the the intake cam being retarted 10* and vice versa on the exaust cam for safe piston to valve clearance as they do touch with the cam blocks... An alternative would be bad computer? Ive dug and back probed the harness, replaced the MAF. We did run an Alpha -N tune on the dyno and it idled quite well.


The noted numbers in previous post are in STD Correction* This graph is in SAE, what you would find at a NASA / Club race event.



NEXT:
Make Dyno video - Maybe will wait on session 2
I have gather 2 rear NOS Genuine bumper shrouds from Thialand and waiting for another to be wrong from Germany... The studs are sized upon removal trying to seal up the Oring on the side vents - Water leak
Meanwile will LTW the rear bumper and get it powder coated
Session 2 Dyno tuning next week - Looks like going to start Alpha - N on the MS41 and see how it goes... I haven't saved up yet to go with the LIFE ECU. I did find .7V that I wasn't hitting from cable slack on the throttle as one of the throttle stops look to of fallen out...
ReCalibrate Throttle body stops
LTW Flags Front and Rear
Number Board? IDK
Fix Rear tire rub - waiting on new tires...
Trip from KY to NH in 2 weeks

AlphaN seems to be antithetical to the computing power of an MS41 DME, no?
