The hikfab plate has saved my pan so many times, it owes me nothing. If it’s bent bad you can straighten them in a press (ask me how I know) Glad to see the car made it relatively unscathed

Long story short, turns out back in late may 2023 I cracked the head on this car which explains the “expansion tank” issues I was having. I raced/codrove it like that for a year without much issue. In April 2024 after an event I decided it was time to dive in as the “expansion tank” issue was getting worse. did a compression test on it and every cylinder checked out great which was weird did a leak down test and cyl 5 took a shit cracked from exhaust valve to spark plug sourced 2 spare heads, took them to the machine shop & they fixed them all up & then they cracked them both in the fixture when pressure testing lol. (Clamped them wrong) IMG_4260.mov Shit happens and they ended up sourcing 2 heads fairly quickly - just something to note if you’re dropping these off at a shop that normally doesn’t touch these heads, make sure they clamp them down from the head bolt area and aren’t just putting a bar across the top of the head. Raced gf’s Supra for most of 2024 & didn’t have much motivation until recently to get this back together. turns out a few of the bores on the cam trays had some pretty bad scoring so grabbed a set from my spares since I had to reshim the solid lifters anyways this is usually the longest part of the process but it’s pretty straight forward, putting the cams in/out a few times to measure is the longest part also did valve seals because everything was part anyways Just in case anyone is curious since I had to buy spare motors to source heads lol: slapped it back together over the weekend with oem headbolts, Running distilled water&water wetter instead of coolant because I hate cleaning up coolant. Also don’t let me forget for the winter lol. plugged the laptop into ms3, hit the key, everything still worked & it fired right up. beat on it a bit & temps held around 190-195, didn’t have any weird leaks, expansion tank issues, etc -so hopefully it’s good to go. Still need to drop the current oil/filter, bleed brakes, check PS fluid, move fixed seat forward, address dumb valve cover leaks & re tape radiator gaps might run this at the next RA event or just wait for a USAIR lapping day to fully shake it down

Dells autox went well, 2 day event. Gf and I codrove the car both days. I took 1st/4 in XSB (7/84 raw) and she took 2nd/4 (14/84 raw) in XSB on day 1. Day 2 I took 1st/5 in XSB (5/92 raw) and she took 2nd/5 in XSB (15/92 raw). The 3 year old RT was in the rear and held its own too ha. the lot was extremely bumpy so it was 2 days worth of lockups with no abs, adjusted the bias as much as I felt comfortable with, but just took it as an opportunity to get better at not blowing the fronts off over the large cracks/bumps ^the finish on day 1s course was sketchy, in 3rd gear across the line and trying to stop after basically a straight, before the parking lot ended here are the layouts And an outside shot because Intake noise is great Pretty much 1 event left before Halloween, night time autox at golden sands. Usually end up taking the beater Miata to that one

Forgot to post this, 3/4 RTs had normal wear after the HPDE - 1 got smoked after the lapping day. Unfortunately, not uncommon with the RT. Luckily I have 3 decent condition take offs that I kept (2020) so was able to get it swapped out before the dells autox

Thanks Joe! it’s technically not an Autocross (insurance wise it’s a time attack). The open course is nice and we probably went around 70-75mph. Way better than the parking lot stuff haha

I’d like to sell to someone with an e30, because that’s what the brackets are for. However, I’d separate the seats if someone is only interested the brackets. I can get more pics for those interested. $500 obo for everything below (2) corbeau FX1 (Bottom/side mount) (2) e30 brackets (2) double locking sliders

Over the last few months snap had been kicking around the idea of selling his car. Occasionally he would text me and tell me he was serious, naturally I told him to go fly a kite there’s no way he could sell it. However as his texts kept getting more and more serious, so did my interest. As some of you know I sold my first black e30 to stew and I text him basically yearly to buy it back. He always tells me to pound sand which is fair lol. For the last 5 years or so I have been on-and-off looking for a rust free e30, which is annoying. Don’t get me wrong I love my red car and it serves its purpose, but I can only get so many tetanus boosters before my eyes explode Anyways, In an effort to keep the car off the next BMW Facebook page of mouth breathers, I drove done to New Germany with Brooke on June 2 and made the decision to “diversify” my car collection. Upon arriving I was immediately sold. Snap has cared well for the car over the last 8 years and it shows. The paint may be worn and shows its age, but aren’t we all after so many years. What’s important to me is that pretty much every nut/bolt has been touched and mechanically the car is in awesome shape. We took it around for a quick test drive and that sealed the deal even further. Car pulls nicely and is geared fairly tall (for what I’m use to) and it cruises nicely. The drive back home went as expected, although I puckered a few times as the 3” exhaust was hanging fairly low
