Lots of Preparation

It's been a pretty long road getting the two cars ready for the Wakefield Park Supersprint. I was totally unprepared for the amount of effort required to get two cars ready. Especially as we have no "work shop" and I either need to work on the cars in the communal garage, or take it to a professional.

It's been a long list of work, and here are the main ones:

e21 323i
  • Bendix Ultimate pads
  • Bushes - rear subframe, front caster, steering rack
  • Engine mounts
  • Tailshaft centre bearing
  • K&N Air filter
  • Front wheel bearings
  • Rust removed from boot and under rear windows
  • Spark plugs
  • Tuning - advance timing and correct mixture
  • Oil change
  • Rebuild alternator

e12 520i

  • Oil change
  • Removed insulation from floor behind seats and respray
  • Remove seat belts
  • Fabricated front struts with adjustable spring mounts
  • Lower rear springs
  • Bilstein shocks all round
