  1. Well, I went Saturday, it was my first time. There were hardly any vintage BMWs as predicted, but the on-track racing was fun to watch. Got some free stickers and spoke to a few cool helpful vendors. Had a chili dog and left by 1130. Saw a really rare and bitchen red E30 wagon on the way home. Won't be going to future 'fests tho.

     

  2. I don't know if a full cage (custom or otherwise) would fit with a stock, full interior. That said, I had a full custom cage welded into my car. My friend tucked it into the A pillars and roof as much as humanly possible (because I'm driving it on the street and the plan is for track days (HPDE not wheel to wheel). My interior isn't stock. If you go this route, get yourself a wink mirror so you can see all around you. The first dash I fit into the car I had to chop the ends off. It looked crappy, so on the second one, I carved out the foam and metal frame from the ends and fit it around the A bars...I think it turned out pretty good. I lowered the seat mounts a good 3" to give myself more head/helmet room. If you install a roll bar or cage, your rear seats will be useless and should be removed, no one will be sitting there anyway. Make sure you set it up (measurements) with your interior handles/window cranks to make sure you have enough room to use them. Good luck, be safe.

  3. Well, I thought I'd buy a 4-bolt shortened drive shaft in anticipation of installing my 5spd. I have a 4-bolt trans flange that I was going to swap into my gearbox...until I saw that the rear shaft splines weren't the same.

     

    So, what now? Do I sell the 4-bolt shaft and get a 3-bolt or is there a 4-bolt trans flange out there with fine splines? 

    Thanks in advance
