Great race in new hampshire. Saw the inspector gadget 240sx up there. Clutch be 4 hours before finish

yup, my team was up there at New Hampshire event two weeks ago. I couldn't make it because I had a bacherlor party all weekend that same weekend. Our team finished Middle of the stack in group B. No real engine trouble, but over the winter we want to change to a limited slip diff, wider wheel combination, various heat shielding projects, and weight reduction.

how did you and the car do ?

Car ran strong. We really gained most positions Sunday morning when the track was soaked. Was passing 4 cars per lap on average. But around 2pm the slave went and had no more clutch

Cracked pan on e30. Too much rust. Scrapped the car. Just picked up an e36 to lemonade for Alabama race

Cracked oil pan via curb riding or some other natural disaster?

Is there any parts carry over from the E30 to the E36?

yes

short shifter, clutch, trans, rear, axles,
coilovers for e36 is 250$

Because race car
On our way to ginger man raceway few weeks ago.


Njmp is next weekend

Needs moar lightbars

we will be there at NJMP our final car wrenching day is today rest of the week involvs packing tools and loading up and traveling

Well here's a short and sweet update for nj a few months back. Rent a pretty kickass rv and drive it down. Car passes tech and we go for some drinks. Wake up and it's race day 1st Driver goes out and comes back with the car overheating. So we run some tests and discover the headgasket is shot. So me and my cousin load the car up while the other 2 racers and family stay at the track and enjoy the day. 2 hours later we get to newark and tear this thing up. Pulled the head and the head is cracked along with a melted piston (pump leaning out right hand turns with no 02 sensors) here we go. So we lie to our teammates and tell them indeed it's the gasket and we will be back for dinner. 3 of my friends are pulling the engine 2 of us go to pick up a Craigslist motor. Buy the motor come back and discover it's an obd1 and we need obd2. Pull the rods and pistons along with the head for our original block. Wrenching away 5 people in total disassembling 2 engines to make 1. Its Saturday night. It gets late everyone is running on energy drinks. The bars close. We get distracted by this

Now it's 7am. Our teamates and family went for breakfast. We are nowhere to be found. We get back to race. Car does 12 laps and spins a rod bearing.

Moral of story.
Don't let your cousin put 12 rod caps in 1 box
(Granted , Guy does mortgages for a living not work on cars)

Car is at Mechanic shop now getting ready for October race in michigan.

We bought a donor car to discover it has a 2.5 instead of the 2.8 but now we are running an upgraded intake manifold a double in tank pump left bank and right bank. an aluminum flywheel and a custom dyno tune if Kats is up for it

Nice update. I'm going to start buying these things up and selling you parts for mad profitzzzzzzz

Oh my God, what a nightmare :lol: It sounds like a giant ****-show, but if I'm sure you were laughing your ass off as you wrote this. It sounds like you're having fun, despite it all. Good luck, man! Keep us updated.

My cousin kept on wanting to call it quits. I remember telling him we cant quit. We will remember this for the rest of our lives. It's 1 more story to tell

My 10th race is coming up this December at road Atlanta.
Our last race was in South Carolina and we lost a 2nd place lead mid Saturday bc of a motor mount bracket. Lost 4 hours of racing but managed to gain 30 positions finishing in 32nd place. We’ve been working on a project to haul our car. http://i67.tinypic.com/kdws5t.jpg

94 international school bus to be the lemon hauler. A lot of work but we finally managed to shove the car in there. Currently looking for 16 foot ramps without having to pay 1500$
Anyways I’ll try to post things more regularly.

I love your hauler. I sell aluminum tubing and sheet at work. Let me know if i can help you with anything

That hauler is amazing. Love it.

Leave it to the pork chops! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I love it!

south Carolina ?!?! Atlanta/!?! why do you travel so far to those events and not do the ones in Connecticut or New Hampshire.

New Hampshire event was like 3 days ago?
My team finished around 60th. first race in a while they didn't blow a motor to smitherines!!

Like that chock

Connecticut is in august and half the team is overseas.
This was the first year we didn't do nh and we won't go back until its paved. There's literally like 10 different types of asphalt on that track and it always rains. EVery. Single. Year.

But do you sell 16 foot ramps in aluminum lol?

Hahah no sorry I don't, I didn't think anyone would make ones that would work for you

I got so many pics to post. What a crazy weekend. We made it to road atlanta, and finished 19th out of 95 cars that started. We split a rotor in half and lost 48!minutes bc we had to go buy one. I held the 2nd fastest lap for the weeken. A 1:48:2xx
But since its a pain in the ass to post pics through my phone ima send pics to jersey mike and have him post it lol
