e46 Shakedown

We finally made it to the track!  Debut at CMP to see if the car will simply run for a bit on its own power.  Success!

Rear camber – adjustable now.

The size of the rear control arm rod ends is such that there is NO way to put a wrench on the interior jam nut. The rod end fits into the subframe with no space for a wrench. Terrible.

Resolved by hacking, cutting is too elegant a term, metal from the control arm mount. Next time, will know to look for a control arm with a smaller rod end.

Mockup – radiator & oil cooler

Custom intake required major changes to the front of the car.  Pieced together enough mounts to hang the radiator and oil cooler to better arm my imagination while I try to determine optimal configuration and locations.
