What happened to Heeter? Fuck, I missed it again...

Hurt feelings on someone's part. The usual.

He'll be back.

He had a hell of a spin in the wet on Sunday!!!!

You're coming to Gingerman for the DE?

Well, now that is intriguing . . . I hear its a lot like Putnam in that it is a nice wide open track with plenty of runoff if you goof.

Hells ya I'll be there! Hoping for a fun day! :D Hell...a frickin fun week! It'll kickass!

Should have my car there if everything works out! ;)

[german g]

I'll fix that. Getting a rear headrest for next time. I'll see if I can get away with it on the front, but if not, I'll slap it on the back.

Buckeye CCA has another one in July. If your car will pass tech - come. You need not have it modded out FUH RAZE style.

Hopefully i can get my suspension put on next month...is passing tech, just safety stuff? I have m30afm, 19# inj.,& chip, does that matter? I'd really like to go.

Passing tech is making sure the car is safe. Tires are good, brakes are new or nearly new, fluids aren't puking out. Battery has to be strapped down solidly, good wiper blades (ask me how I know). I don't think Buckeye requires you to get a mechanic to inspeect it beforehand, but its not a bad idea. Hoosier CCA required a mechnic's inspection.

I think Don Black's shop in Louisville will do it for a reasonable fee - tell them you are a poor kid on a budget, and he might cut you a break.:D

Pm me your email address, and I'lll send you the tech form from Hoosier - its pretty thorough - but most of it you'll have no trouble.

On top of what Dave said...flush your brake fluid a couple weeks before going. Use something decent like Valvoline Synpower or ATE Super Blue. Make sure your battery has a secure tie-down that won't budge vertically as well as horizontally. I'm not sure if one of those clamps that wedges against the side of the battery would pass or not. They're looking to make sure your battery won't fall out if you roll your car. New engine and tranny mounts aren't a bad idea, either.

Battery tie down? I heard you can just wedge a block of wood in there . . .;)

Late night WalMart parking lot tech FTW!!!!!

[german g]

cool, thanks guys. I do need a battery tiedown.. you have pm dave.

I think there is gonna be some louisville derby bimmer meet sometime soon too...Most people concerned more with looks rather than GO, but still might be fun if people show up.

Got your PM. And I have the battery tie down setup that is cheap and much more effective than the factory clamp.

cool, what do you use?

[Dave]

cool, what do you use?

steel bar with holes in it under the battery tray, coupled with a generic battery tie down kit with rubber type top piece and long "J" bolts from autozone.

Yeah - just make sure its immobile in the car. Heeter has screws running into the side of his battery to hold it in place!


NEWS FLASH!

THe Rat is back - I followed some kludge advice from alex and got the fuel pump to work - for now. I have another on the way still.
