last cage shot


#23

and the cool new race car stance. BTW the cage was done at Robinson racing in Cumming GA and BJ the cage builder did an awesome job. I told him what I wanted and he made it happen.


#24

Good luck with your build…Keep us posted on the progression with info and pics.

Couple of things to keep in mind…Read the Rule book closely. If in doubt, ask before making a modification.

Can’t wait to see you at the track (in my rearview of course :laugh: )

I assume you made this comment for a reason. Is there something that looks illegal in the pics?


#26

No not at all…As far as I can see from the pics it looks like a good build. when Dave and I built our cars we kept a copy of the rules at the shop and had no problems keeping things legal. Unfortunately other builders have had, what they thought were good ideas, did a lot of work making changes, only to find out that it’s not allowed and had to change things back.

No ulterior motives, just friendly advice…you probably didn’t need. Just didn’t want to see you take two steps forward and three back…like some others have before you…

When’s your estimated first track event?

I assume you’ve got your NASA comp lic. I think I read that you used to race in another series?

See ya at the track

Daemon,

I was very pleased with BJ’s work on my car also… I wanted to say I’m glad everything went well over the weekend. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it up to help you guys out (My wife committed us to a cookout on Sunday). Looking forward to it.

Kelly,Sunday? Damion was gone back to Augusta by 11:30 by Sunday. Taylor,and Montana were great in their knowledge of all things E30 and got that thing on the road quickly. Damion should be joining us soon, maybe by CMP in July. Regards, Robert (king of greasy clothes) Patton

My car is coming along also. My cage was built in Augusta by Brian Weeks, Augusta Transmission Clinic. Very pleased with the results.

We got the suspension put together today. We also got the clutch, pressure plate and transmission back in the car. The Rogue shifter from Bimmerworld looks like a nice piece.

very nice. If you don’t mind saying, did you buy that seat new or used, and how much did you spend on it?

It is a new seat, $1,200 ouch! More than I wanted to spend but IMO, this is definately one of those areas where you get what you pay for.

Well it is winding down. All thats left to do is get an alignment and lay on some vinyl and put in some roll cage padding. here are some pics.
