There were a few requests to see the finished product so here is the cage build and some other pics. Here is a little information on the build. 2008 BMW M3, purchased new. Started using it for HPDEs / Autox right away. Current Build: 6 Point + 2 Cage - Provided by EconoMotorsports & Weaver's Race Cars, Saxton Pa - The cage is 1.75x.120 DOM , the doors are a modified Nascar "K" design. They drop a bit in the front to allow better entry/exit. Rear Suspension Tower Mount Reinforcement - Provided by EconoMotorsports & Weaver's Race Cars, Saxton Pa - To allow for full coilover in the rear instead of ta separate spring / damper. Suspension - Double Adjustable Ground Control Coilovers - 550/700 Lbs springs - Eibach. - Provided by Ground Control.

Very nice, and one of the first E9x non-motorsports chassis out there. Most people would not touch a street chassis because of the electronic complexity. I know an electrical engineer that had trouble with an E46, never mind an E9x.
Looks like you would be a G stock or prepared or a D-Mod in BMWCCA club racing and probably a GTS infinity in NASA! Who do you plan to run with? I would love to see it out on track. BMWCCA is at Road Atlanta next weekend.... |
