Race Car V4.0 - Ground up

[D_Eclipse9916]

If figuring out those suspension/spindle issues was half as difficult as reading that paragraph, I’m sure it was a rough night.

But fucking hell man, that chassis shot is awesome. First car to ever have M pillars instead of A.

I think I will keep it simple for the next update..which is now.

I am also replacing the braking system.  The later M3s have MK60 ABS, which I had in standalone mode on the previous car.  I wanted a stock pedal setup so I bought a MK60 master to pair with the abs pump, of course didn't fit with MK20 Booster.  So had to reach out to a friend and go grab one.

Brake setup and suspension all ready to go!  Already did a quick bleed on the brakes and the pedal is already rock solid.  The AKG bushings in the pedal setup were worth every penny.


While everything was out, we modified the steering column over to center it with the seat and Deren was able to fabricate a new mount for the chassis side of the seat bracket to push me over.  
Had to run home once or twice for parts and specialty tools for the twin disc clutch install/gas tank install.  Deren was able to build new mounting tabs for the transmission, so hopefully itll stay in a bit better this time  [emoji1]


To finish up the weekend we dropped in the assembled motor and trans after v-banding the headers to make it easier to remove.
