Thanks mate, found the top ones, but cannot seem to find the bottom ones.
Are they not in the e92 section?

Ah sorry, I misunderstood. The bottom ones are a custom job by the cage builder. Most people simply cut the fender and leave it raw, but he fabricated a little border to make it look nicer.

Mini update: suspension and hood latches are installed. Front splitter should be on tomorrow.

Progress looks amazing. < 2800 lbs now?!

Grippinaround · 11-07-2023, 09:05 PM

That picture was taken before loading onto the trailer and going straight for ride height/alignment. Here's the post result:

Incredible with a SC... I really need to get rid of those airbags and thin out my harness.

So with required fuel for time attack that'll be about ~2900.

Not quite that low. I'm about 170 so depending on fuel, probably closer to 3,050.

Oh yeah I meant without driver, only way to keep things apples to apples across these cars.

I am very jealous, your competition weight is lower than my dry weight haha. New doors and wire thinning/headlight blanks should get me to #3075 dry weight ideally.

Are you running GTA this weekend? Excited to see this thing on track!

No. Unfortunately we ran into an electrical issue that needs to be traced and resolved. Ah, the motorsports life...

Indeed. I have full confidence that StripclubDJ will figure it out. He's done an amazing job so far and, well, these things happen.

yeah i believe in Berto.

plus you are technically a guinea pig for this wiring job anyways right :P you're paving the way for the rest of us who inspire to do this.

did you get any seat time at all, or did the car not turn on?

Didn’t turn on

electrical stuff blows, and thats why i don't attempt to do much myself. i accidentally left a plug off the fiber optic wiring once and the car went nuts and didn't stay on. i also had an early iteration of a lightweight battery that wasn't "intelligent" and the car would occasionally act like it didn't have a battery connected at all.
i'm sure there is something that can be done with coding or programming. i've heard the oem intelligent battery system can cause problems too.
i haven't dug too deep into it because its kinda heresay and i typically forget the info i find out by the time i get around to it.
makes me wonder if its almost more worth it to get a motec standalone ecu and just wire in what you need.
