Here's the deal...

We're entering our car in the Grassroots Motorsports Ultimate Track Car Challenge that will be held here on the West coast in June. It's a by invitation event and the candidates are being screened by their CarDomain.com pages.

For those of you with questions on our turbo M42 powered BMW Club Racer, this is where the most complete information exists.

Check out the page over at CarDomain.com and please help rate the car (with a good rating) to increase our chances of being invited.

The link can be found here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2980038

More infomation on the GRM UTC is here: http://www.cardomain.com/features/grm

Thanks!

Rob

Thanks for all the support. I wonder if some of our potential competitors are working against us... someone has been working to lower our rating so any help from the M42 crowd is really appreciated.

I've also updated the page and added detail pics of the engine bay, intercooler, oil cooler, fire system, custom wiring, and seat/harness.

A bit smaller than that. We're getting 280 ft-lbs of torque at 3500 RPM.

:cool: A gearbox killer

still using the 265? Hmm must be a 2871 or something then I guess but the compressor housing seems pretty big to me? :confused:

It is a GT3XXXX. Not many options left, huh?

strypt · « **Reply #11 on:** April 05, 2008, 10:14:33 AM »

Nope I guess not

strypt · « **Reply #12 on:** April 05, 2008, 03:27:01 PM »

I must say I'm very impressed with the spool on that thing, I mean a GT30XX is a pretty large turbo

Can't wait til I get my car back from tuning by the end of the month

Keep the support coming! Oh, and you can help fund the new diff we need by purchasing a COP kit. Check the FS section!
