BMW E36 VERT: Pro-Am Drift Build – Part 6

Today we installed the dashboard, loomed the main wire harness, and installed the OMP seats and Racequip harness belts. Stay tuned for more videos!

The BMW E36 is the third generation of the BMW 3 Series range of compact executive cars, and was produced from 1990 to 2000. The initial models were of the four-door sedan body style, followed by the coupe, convertible, wagon and hatchback. The E36 was the first 3-Series to be offered in a hatchback bodystyle. It was also the first 3-Series to be available with a six-speed manual transmission, a five-speed automatic transmission and a four-cylinder diesel engine. The multi-link rear suspension was also a significant upgrade, as compared to the previous generations of the 3-Series. The high performance E36 M3 is powered by the BMW S50 or BMW S52 straight-six engine.

BMW E36 VERT: Pro-Am Drift Build – Part 4

Today we did a three-stage paint job on the roll cage. We used a wire brush to clean the welds, Scotch-Brite to clean the tubes, masking tape and paper to protect the vehicle body, and alcohol to remove any leftover contaminants. We then gently wiped everything down with a tack cloth. The three paint stages consisted of self-etching primer, a Royal Red base coat, and a Crystal Clear top coat. Not shown in the video, we removed the masking tape about 2 hours after the paint dried to the touch. Stay tuned for more videos!

Show-Me Rally: Raw Rally Racing Sounds (Pigeon Roost West)

The Show-Me Rally will consist of multiple stages, run over gravel roads through wonderful Washington County Missouri. Located in Eastern Missouri in the great Mark Twain forest, you will enjoy rolling country side views, and great roads through the forests. The City of Potosi welcomes all competitors and volunteers to the area and hope you enjoy your stay while you are here for the rally. Show-Me Rally is a performance rally car race, using street legal vehicles, which have additional safety gear and full roll cages. For any newcomers to rallying, a rally consists of “transit zones” and “special stages”. A transit has the rally teams on the roads with the general public following all traffic rules and merely gets the competitors from one special stage to the next. A special stage is a closed to-the-public section of road(s) where teams are allowed to travel from the start to the finish as fast as they can. Teams are started one minute apart, so there is no wheel-to-wheel racing. The total elapsed times for each team over all of the special stages will determine both individual class and overall victories of the event. In addition, Show-Me Rally is run “blind”, where the teams have not seen the roads ahead of time. For the past few months, the Show-Me Rally Committee has again been working with the local government officials economic partners, to ensure a well organized and safe event. Show-Me Rally aims to help give the area an economic boost by bringing in multiple teams, their service crews, officials, and hundreds of volunteers from outside the area. The Washington County road commissioners have given the organizers of Show-Me Rally permission to temporarily close a few county roads for short periods of time on Saturday. Saturday will begin with a rally car show (Expose) and opening ceremony. Teams will compete throughout the afternoon.
