tiFreak's track car build

[tiFreak]

I had a body shop replace the broken front sway bar mount and repair the one that was about to break, unfortunately the last auto-x of the season got canceled so I'll have to wait until next year

[tiFreak]

who can name the track?

oil's been changed, gas is topped off with Sta-bil and the tires are all pumped up, off to the storage unit tomorrow and I'll be done with this thread until next autocross season

right on! i'll probably have to do a track car some day too...looks like a lot of fun. the car seems to be coming along just fine...keep after it.
And like josh was saying...your Cordobarot ti is much nicer with the M3 style body kit..i often wondered what you were thinking in high school when you went with that Bomber kit...kids are just crazy i guess.
you seem to be doing all the right stuff to your cars these days...I LIKE!

I somehow missed this thread till now...

Good work! It looks like you scored a decent car and are having good fun.

[tiFreak]

thanks, it alternates between fun and pain in the butt

I finally get to update this thread

pulled it out of storage on Sunday and today after work I installed my racing seat, rear shock tower brace and checked all the fluids. I also started doing the rear brakes but the rotors I bought last year are for a regular E36 I ordered them through the business though so I think I'll be able to return them.

The first autocross of the season is this Sunday so before then I need to do the rear brakes and fix the oil leak (oil filter housing) and I'd like to flush the brake fluid and power steering fluid and replace the fluid in the transmission and diff.

I'll get some new pics up sometime later this week, it's already too dark

Brendan, do you still have your old bumper? That was the extreme dimensions bomber kit right? How much were you looking to get for it? Send me a pm when you get the chance.

PM'd

took a few pictures today

swapped my euro plate for another one, also put on a Vermont Strong plate which I can legally run instead of a front plate until 2014



a few of the new seat, had to run my seatbelt through the harness holes so it would fit tight against my waist. I also found a dollar in change taking the old seat out





and one of my rear shock brace. I know people say they don't help but I put one of these in my E30 and I do think it made a difference. maybe it was a placebo effect or maybe my E30 was just so rusted out that any little bit of bracing helped but for a little over a hundred bucks I figured I'd get one for the ti
