[ejnight]

nice work

[Jparkr]

we will be installing a late model front valence but most likely be keeping metal bumpers. we talked breifly today about plastics but this will be a race car so we wanna be able to take smaller hits and such without destroying the bumpers everytime.
as for the fireway, the heater box will be gutted out and reinstalled only holding the heatercore. this is because the vehical is required to have a working heater. (rulz is rulz)

Looks like you are getting some really good progress. Keep it up.

[Jean]

Good work. What are your plans with the bumpers etc, staying with dp's or converting all to plastics, rear valance ?

Also, want to see how / what you are going to do with a hole in the firewall once (if) you remove the a/c/heater box.

Update!

Me and John began stripping the car down today, and found a few things.

Tons of Spiders, I mean my god, as well as two rust locations, the battery tray, and above the license plate, however those are typical locations, so I'm not worried about it.

Pictures of the progress

Starting to tear into it

Thats all for now, taking next weekend off to enjoy the 3 day weekend on the lake, then we are back at it.

The entire chassis should be stripped down, and we will bring in the 325iC donor car and begin stripping that for parts.

More to come!

Looks like yours will be finished before mine.

James, the best person to talk to would be Ken Hill (or his twin brother Wes) They have built 4 or five of these and are a wealth of information.

Ted (SlammedE30) is one of the fastest e30 drivers in the NW. Good guy to talk to.

Hmm well the only real mods are suspention being completly open and any type of ignition modification as long as its in the stock harness. plus some other minor things so its really no that much more diffrent then spec.

As for the diff questions we are deffenitly needing a 4:10S asap but this will be our lapping day/track car for a while while we dial it in so we will most likely be looking for others later on as well.

also, any complete C/O suspentions going up for sale soon please run it by one of us first.

ok 4am time for bed

Headers allowed in Pro3... not allowed in Spec.

Very cool. I saw a pro-3 car on a trailer on 405 a while back. I want to do some pro3 road racing when I get older and have more cash flow. Looks extremely fun.
