engine and drivetrain newbie intro

[tzei]

Hello everyone!

 

As of reading every now and then this site i finally thought to join. It's now just about 25 years since i bought my first 02. Currently i have 2 cars running or should i say one and half as turboed one is usually torn apart every winter did i planned it or not. It's build for circuit racing and come autumn some new ideas merges and...

 

The "M2" has stayed as is since i got it finished a few years back. Some minor tweaks but nothing major.

 

2 pics of engines (if i manage to attach them)

Welcome and nice engine pics. I have it in the back of my mind to do a turbo build for one of my track cars someday. What throttle bodies do you have there? I've also been thinking about going full heim joint throughout and fabricating the front control arms as you have. Would love to see a photo of the detail. Is that a cam sensor on the front timing cover? I will be running a sensor on my slide throttle engine for full sequential injection. The plan is to finally have that on track this year.

Best regards,
Fred

HI Fred and Thank You. TBs are custom made using Dellorto's 40 mm repair set for moving parts. Jenvey Plenium. Yes, cam sensor in upper cover. I'll try to find/get pics of those suspension parts...

Welcome. Newbie only to this board clearly.

Rack and pinion steering on the race car?

Love the painting on the block.

_{Thanks. Yes Rack & pinion... E21 fast steering + E21 front member slightly modified. Managed to buy it back after i sold my E21 race car.  Yes block is my "garage camo".}

Front comtrol arm pics as requested. The yellow one is what i used when i had 02 front member & steering parts. Black is what i use now with E21 front member (axle support).

Thanks for posting the images. Looks the outer heim joint replaces the ball joint for the type of struts you are using.--Fred

This is how i went about the steering arms. M16 10.9 bolts. S/arms drilled to suit. Welded to stay put.
