Pikes Peak Int. Hill Climb Turbo E30 Build

Nice Tim, Any chance you would be down to road trip in that? lol

[IronFreak]

Love the build man, very inspiring! I got to ask because I don't think it was covered, what kind of seat time do you have?? You handled that really well, I can't imagine that was your first stab at racing!

[Cronopoulos]

This guy stole your color combo!

[IronFreak]

Wow look at the defuser on that car! ^

[TheTacoMan]

Any updates? Awesome
fabrication in this thread.

With kevlar, keep in mind that if the matrix gets damaged and exposes the aramid fibres, they will wick and retain water, eventually causing it to disbond.

So check your gas tank from time to time for nicks, dry them and touch them up with some form of adhesive. Instant epoxy works great for this.

Epic build man. Just about the best build I've read in ages.

She pulls really well from low RPM and makes that awesome boosted BMW 24V sound! :)

You sir are doing a wonderful job.. I miss the springs and the pikes peak hill climb.. Miss Colorado in general.. Good job :)

[edsel1134]

And the crash above you was that the Evo?

[kamotors]

[downforce22]

Yesssss, come on Tim show us the carbon fiber goodness!!

[IronFreak]

Did it get postponed? I checked the PP site and it says check back in on June 30th for live coverage.

I know they're having hella crazy fire there right now. I did see on one of the facebook pages I follow that someone totaled an NSX so maybe practice rounds are happening.

Nevermind........I just found this.
