Paul, Fan of your car and impressed on how light u got it. I also race a e30 and although my class weight restriction is higher I'm all about lowering the CG , which leads me to a question . How did you mount your wing to a fiberglass trunk .. ?

There are two large fabricated posts that the entire trunk/wing is bolted to.

Car is awesome. I love it.

a) I'd love to race against it, but you would probably kick my ass.
b) Have you had it south of the border to any tracks? Any lap times?

Looks like a blast to drive.
Should there be a demise to all my S14 spares at least I know I can still race 4 cylinders.
M42s and M44s are plentiful.
I love what you have done.
Kudos.

I haven't had it down south yet, like to though! Best time at Tremblant if that means anything to you, is a 1:51.2 on Nitto's, it would probably break into the 1:49 range on an R7 or similar "fast" tire.

Its a very fun car to drive, very light, manual steering, poor traction, loads of driver involvement, I love it.

Opie, whatever you do, do NOT use Photobucket.

Flickr, among a handful of others, works well.

or a cheats way is to load the images through the Manage Attachments option as you did, before submitting, select Preview Post and copy the image link and then use the insert image option

Eg: Link "http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=110945&d=1474911081"

Just got back from Mont Tremblant, great weekend. Considering the car was in pieces 2 weeks ago, felt great to have it back out and running strong.

Ran it in 2 separate series, 6 races, 2 qualifying session, 4 practice sessions.
Got pole in GT touring, was leading first GT race and got hit by 2nd place car, taking me out, finishing 17th. Had some damage to fix over night. Next race grids are done by previous finishing position, so next race started 17th, got up to 6th I think in that one. In the other class, which is kind of an unlimited class, I got a 2nd, 3rd, 4th.

Fun weekend, very happy with the car. I'll have some vids this week once I get them edited.

How can I embed these pics?
