APRIL 2020 - PT.1

Progress?
We spent over 7 Years building the Race car E30 you see at Road Atlanta, Finally! Were doing it and well. We never meant to win. Just finish. Last year we had some hurdles that we couldn't get a rolling. This year felt different, but then all the events started canceling... Watkins Glen was to be next.. So it looked like I was able to allocate some time back to lachs!

While wiring, Trying to take care of all the little bits also.
New side mirror motors!


The connector for my amp, I hope I can find a replacement to crimp in


Vac BBTB has returned




Sorting out my OBDII location, Yes I love the globe box flash light, But the OBDII port seems about perfect here




Fuse box coming together


Things are starting to tidy up!




Precision sound




Shortened up the wiring to the doors, Getting speaker wire ran, Had to rewire all the interior lighting.


I fought for a while of where to put the ABS unit, I Really wanted to put it on the passenger side... But to get right the engine has to come out to sweep 6 lines over. Also future S54 carbon airbox planning architecture was in mind. So I was like this should work.


Even fits my front strut tower tie in idea.

Ditto on the ABS details.

[Northern]

+1 on the ABS details

[Sh3rpak!ng]

Intense, and very satisfying. Nice work.

I am very much looking forward to the E46 M3 ABS install... please post the details!

[Digitalwave]

That wiring job looks intense!

[moatilliatta]

AHEM. "Clears throat"

March 2020

Progress? Not bad.

Wiring is always a big job. Once you can let your mind calm down to all the task involved, I think its pretty relaxing.

Sorting out how and if this E46 Fuse box idea would even work. But Looking good!

Meanwhile my 3:25 REM polished 4 clutch setup has arrived, One quirk about having a Ti. I was able to install it in there and break it in easy on the street.


Sorting wires, The last wire snipped from the E30 fuse box felt almost like when you close your browser of 50 tabs... Then 5 minutes later, everything is better.


Chugging along, Was quite frustrating to get replacement terminals and housings for most he interior connectors, So, I just starting replacing everything in Deutch DT and DTM connectors..


Replacement Indicators




I got so lucky to sort a Euro Spare Aluminum wheel in the US. Mini spare isn't a big deal, hopefully get me to the next destination, maybe slower. A nice weight saving compromise.


And a new spare tire, Continental, Made in Germany.


I can do this...


Things are starting to make sense again






Fusebox starting to fill up!


Just for fun


Houston, We have lights




Speaker, wiring and sorting


GPS Speedo


Years of hoarding motors and crap, I was able to send some core throttles in for a small credit towards my Bigger bored Throttle. Future pics of that.


OH, And the NON AC HVAC box cover will fit the AC HVAC box if you delete your ac, Future pics



Work

Finishing up another car / wiring job












Bolt bin saves my but so many times, Id like to go through and organize it more


FUN
After years, finally got another BMX bike!


Hmm, Whats Covid, Who knew this was the beginning

Aww man. I was pumped for another chapter. But at least I know when another one is coming. Kind of truthful kind of sarcastic but I understand that everyone has lives and I can patient. But I was more or less joking around. Keep up the good work.

FEB 2020

Progress? NO.

Because Racecar

Our car at the local BMW Of Louisville Holiday Party
Racecar does make its American Endurance Racing debut..

http://americanenduranceracing.com/

Its really hard to do both Lachs and the Racecar, and sometimes, just one of them... But I think I posted about the car getting wrecked out of its first ever race mid 2019. ChampCar, we were warned... And it happened within the first hour... Anyway our goal was to do a race in Champcar, WRL, and AER to see where we wanted to be.. Poor liability for the car to try out Champcar...

Anyways, Here were are prepping for Road Atlanta in February 2020. Getting our bins of parts, gear, and food sorted. We acquired a few sponsors too!










And were off!







A bit cold, but not bad, chilly nights for camping but we manage.


These Miatas were quick! Wait, well... they had some fast drivers! Either way we had to work to keep up with them.








No mechanical issues and staying consistency payed off. P1 on both days and were tied for first for the AER Championship.. Yes I know its the first race, but a super cool feeling when there are big boy Porches and BMWs about out there












Was a crazy weekend as we went in and had no idea what to expect. Writting this 7 months later, it is still kind of crazy. We could always use more support check us out on FB and Instagram we want to Grow and Retain our currant sponsors!

No work, no play, Too much work no play...

Moving along slowly on the 726

Cramming 89 DB of mufflers for a S54 stroke.. Tedious, but does come to and end eventually..
