Agreed. Early on when I was just putting around the neightborhood I had it loose, but once I got above ~20 MPH, I switched to a fabric tool bag, and use the passenger harness to secure it to the floor.

I had signed up for the Packwood SCCA autoX National Tour event in early July, and was thinking I'd most likely run my M3, as the GT40 still had a descent amount of work needed before it was ready for an AutoX event. Luckily I was wrong...made it just in time; the only downside was that I had...

Some fairly big milestones...all thanks to COVID and having a lot more time at home! Went to the local dyno to ensure the tune/engine were running well. Carb Conn in Kirkland WA is great, I've come here a few times over the years and they have already been great to work with. Made just...

Getting the front clamshell to sit flush...orginally I was thinking that I needed to shim up the windsheild base, but instead I installed a central Hood latch on the hood, and that holds the hood down flush. Far easier...and it keep the hood from bouncing up/down on the road when at speed...

it's been a few months since I've updated here...I've been very fortunate with COVID to be able to work virtual, but that means my days are literally 100% in front of monitors, so I haven't felt like spending more of my off-work time making build updates; but I have spent a lot more time in the...

Reach out to Chris at Active Power. Good luck! : http://www.activepowercars.com/

Did you check grounds, or any loose wires? I had a chaffed ignition wire awhile back, and it would only cut out once the wires got warm and on bumps...once warm, the wire would relax and all it needed was a bump to touch the chassis and ground out that 1 cylinder intermediately; drove me nuts...

a few more updates. 12VDC electric Heater: thought this would be simplier than a coolant version, it includes a small fan. I added 2 more in lines fans. installed: put the heaters and 2 fans in the passenger footwell...I added a foot rest to ensure a passenger would never kick it. Hood...

a few miscl. updates... Installed my Relay box from Painless...this will handle everything outside of the engine fuse box. includes 8 relays, should be more than enough. Making updates for the wire routing...the bottom holes are wires, the middle notches are for the cage door bar. Turn...

Sorry to hear about the issues...hope you get it figured out soon, summer is nearly here! Where in Oregon are you? I'm up in Seattle

and it's a Harbor Freight unit!! I usually put wheel chalks behind the car when I'm winching it up...just in case. The scarier part was the first time I drove off the lift...triple checked that my brake pedal was firm! I even had my wife ensure our street was clear just in case.

taillights up next... I had some older style taillights that didn't fit too well...so I opted for some cheap LED round lights. I pictures of the lights looked far better...these looked kinda cheap chrome plastic, so I tinted them. The small curve needed some heat to help the tint conform...

I also made some dust covers for the back of the headlights to protect them from debris/dirt that's going to come off the front wheels. got to use my new brake to fold some boxs. Used a left over kitchen exhaust hood cover that was left over from several years ago...it's a nice SS w/ plastic...

been focusing on making the car street legal...so progress on the headlights: Overall I'm very happy with how these turned out. it's exactly what I had envisioned (yay - I built something I intended)...even though I'm still not entirely convinced I like my vision yet. I didn't like the...

Well done!!! Love the lumpy cam!

final update that gets me to today: between the exhaust, rear inner fenders, heat sheilds, and new latches, I've needed to get the rear clamshell on/off multiple times, and my wife had a hard time getting a firm grip...so I added a few more ceiling anchor points; it takes more time than when I...

Next set of updates.... Installed the Gear Indicator gauge: fairly simple, and works perfectly. Alongwith the gauge, I had to install the position sensor that bolts onto the back of the Mendeola Sequential. Like most of you, rear visibility isn't great...so I wanted a combo Mirror &...

a few more updates...finalizing the exhaust to add inline valves and tips to accommodate the rear body. Overall I'm pleased how this came out...if I would've thought ahead, I should've done this out of SS, as I tried to sand the tips post-welding and nothing was working, so I ended up spraying...

have you installed the windsheild wiper yet? trying to get an idea of how others have mounted their under the dash...
