    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!

    PHOTO

    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.

    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!

    WORK
    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..








    Cheers! Hope to have March update... Next Wednesday.. !
