I posted some pictures that I realize look huge. How does one resize the pictures using allowed code? Thanks, James

I went to my first race at Laguna-Seca this past weekend, I was there along with Tom Bell who runs his 2.8l Z3 in the Prepared class. Here's some pictures from this past weekend. Here's the car before the vinyl <IMG...

Here's some blue sky thinking, so I don't want anyone to take it personal or anything.... So my thinking goes like this... Engine mangement has two basic functions: 1) spark timing and control and 2) fuel timing and control. Let's address the, spark timing: 1-e authorizes any ingnition...

Rob, Noam, or anyone who runs an e-30. The time has come to scale my car before I take it out on the track for the first time. I called TC Kline already and asked, but I need more information on where to baseline the chassis height and where should I read it from. Secondly, how about how much...

I thought I'd share these pictures from my web-site of progress made in the last couple of weeks. The motor now runs due to both a bad fuel pump, and a defective crank sensor. From my spare differential, the output flanges allow the axles to bolt up. The wiring is finished and clean, the...

Just curious, I've seen the BMW club rules for next season and they make no mention of ITR. Well I guess that makes sense as ITR isn't officially a class yet, but, I'd love to have something to make them change their rules. So, maybe the next Fastrack? The 20th is a Sunday if I remember...

It should have been a no brainer job.... I've got the axles that go to an e-36/7 Z3 2.8l and the Diff that's susposedly never been out of the car, but the inner CV doesn't mate to the output flange, as in the inner mating is too large or not deep enough for the the flanges inner mating. I'm...

Check out this thread on the SCCA discussion board: Why do we need more classes?? Please feel free to jump in and add your support for ITR :cavallo:

I just had an idea that an article should be submitted to the Club Mag and maybe even Grass Roots Motorsports on ITR. There's already been the press release issued in both but an article on the formation of the class and following several builds for this new class might be a way to generate...

Well my car's comming along, it should be running soon and I'll be ready to race. Soon I'll have to make it look fast too. I stopped by a custom car graphics shop in Bakersfield and have started work on a vinyl stripes package. Here's what I was thinking of: and from the front: note...

I just fond this on the SCCA front page. Looks interesting. New Classes in SCCA James

I'm working on getting my Z3 ready for the track. It's got the stock plastic radiator tank which is a part of the radiator, but it's not got an overflow tank. So is there a special radiator cap that I'll need. I know I should just switch over to a nice racing aluminum radiator, but that'll be...

I thought I'd put this out for discussion. Belts are recommended to be mounted to the stock location. Well in my case the lower two mounts are the stock seat. So I was considering mounting the anti-sub straps and the lap belt to the seat adaptor ( a 2x3 .125 wall steel tube ). So where did...

Well, I've finally taken delivery of my Z3 racer. It's got a set of 6-into-2 headers, but there's no exhaust after the two collector pipes. My plan is to fab a two into one pipe and route that back to the rear sub frame and end the exhaust there with a clamp and a down turn/muffler depending...

My car is paid for and it's ready for me to pick up, but it's in Ohio and I'm in California. So I'm looking for options, or even transport companies to get it out here. Thanks, James

I just finished the Cal-Club super-school at ButtonWillow Last Sunday. I was running #66 the green monster ITB BMW 2002 of Kevin McDonald. Kevin told me that I was going to be the last one to run this engine, as at the prior weekend at the VARA British Extravaganza the valve guides started to...

For all those who thing that the e-36 M3 is way out side of ITR. Here's what you'd see at the wheels of a Stock M3.... Looks like based on stock flywheel numbers they loose over 45 hp in the drive trans. Now based on these numbers is the M3 can't be that far outside. James

Alright, I can't believe I've been lurking the SIR thread :P So I want the option to run JP as well as ITE. I don't want to race outside Kern County and figure this will mean more events to choose from. So going to the prepared rules, I guess I'm limited to running the stock Motronic...

So I've got my car comming, and it's a Z3 2.8l. I can run DE's and BMW club with it, but I want to build it so that I can run IT when a class opens up. So I'd just like to know what's going on in this department. Also, would it be helpful if I filled out a request to classify form? Want to...

Ok so calling all rule nerds!! I'm planning on buying a Z3 specifically for track useage, in other words it can't be street titled. It's a 4 cylinder car; BUT, it's got the wider 6 cylinder finders and bumper cover. So legely speaking, do I have to find some narrow fenders/bumper cover? Or...
