Saturday Shift

Small delivery from Demon Tweeks…

Gave the rear arms and extra coat of paint for added protection. The factory black coating is pretty good from a corrosion point of view, but with the shot blasting these take any time a gravel trap rally cross excursion occurs, a little added protection doesn’t hurt

Rear subframe and arms all built back up. New camber bolts coming from BMW on Tuesday. Gave the tank a thorough clean and degrease then added a section of heat reflective tape.

Front subframe mostly built up. Turns out we got 4 banana ball joints of one side and none of the other rather than 2 and 2 so couldn’t fully build it up. Modified ARB brackets to include captive nuts and steering rack all mounted up, again added some extra protection on the PS pipes since they suffer from corrosion.

Over and Under

Big delivery, complete bearing and ball joint overhaul. Plus discs, clutch and plugs. Driveshafts to follow.

Dropped the rear subframe off Sara to coat the underside. Also got a few engine bay pics.

Filter Success!

Finally found a filter that nearly captures the colour of Steph’s car on a phone camera (well, at least makes it look a bit turquoise, rather than sky blue). Hopefully when we’re using them on track people with SLRs and the knowledge of how to use them properly will give some images that show it off properly!

The driver’s natural ballast is shrinking nicely also…
