Got some pictures from PeeBee after he had test fitted the new bumper to the car. He had to make some small adjustments to it, but now i think it's ready to be painted. Here's the photo's i got.

Great project

Thanks guys!

The wheels weigh 8,5-9kg.

I have a kinda 1 step forward 2 steps back feeling now. I needed to remove my wheel lock due to GT regulations, and to do that i had to remove the dashboard again...

Got it figured out, much thanks to m3forum member delirium45 who had the same job documented in his track build journal.
Couple bad cell pics...

The next project will be to install a FIA master battery switch. Going to buy some wires and clamps tomorrow.
Also got my clutch in the mail the other day. A beefy looking thing..

Also bought myself a new car that can pull the M3-R on a trailer.

That's it for today. The car is in pieces once again and just over a month until my Nürburgring test trip. Time to get a move on...

Installed the new clutch yesterday. Here's a couple of pics.

Also choose to strengthen the coupling between two parts on the CAE shifter arm that goes from the gearbox to the stick. It's originally pressed together as shown below, but we welded the parts together so it wouldn't start sliding in the future.

Also bought some new racing gear. A lovely combo from alpinestars, sparco, hans and Arai.
