We ran out at Buttonwillow last weekend. The BMWCCA club race group ran with NASA GTS. We had a good weekend. Came in second in class on Saturday but unfortunately no video of that race.

We fought a few mechanical issues over the weekend and a few electrical issues. One of the electrical issues stopped our Sunday race.

Here is a video from Sunday's race. Ran well for about 6 laps before we took the car off the track. Didn't get a good start but raced a few cars hard.

Gorgeous. You guys are living the dream. I can't wait to save up enough and get the time to really start working on my car toward a similar effect. You guys are a great inspiration!

Cool site and I can't wait to see what you guys have up for sale soon. With the coil on plug kit does the stock cover still fit? The photos on cardomain show you guys using a heat reflective panel.

No, the stock plastic cover doesn't fit over the COP kit.

We expect to add some used parts probably the last week of May due to other commitments time wise.

More racing info should be added by the end of the week.

Not for the race car, but for me.

I'll be at San Diego BMWCCA Autocross at Quacomm Stadium on Saturday running my S50 powered cabrio.

Cools vids, sounds the car runs great!
Were you having some problems with 2nd gear? There was one corner during the practice runs (tractor/bulldozer in view) where it seemed like you were taking extra care and time in your shifts.

great example of a well done e30 race car.
