We have updated the forum build thread with a huge 3-part post showing many more details on the V8 powered M3 CSL clone we are building for a customer. If you like seeing fabrication and build details, this one will be worth the read – starting here.
In this round we show how (and explain why) the roll cage was built for this Time Trial/HPDE track car – that also sees some street use. Then custom door panels were built to clear the cage while retaining functional door glass. A lot of work was shown making two halo style racing seats fit around the cage and door panels, too.
The front subframe was reinforced, as was the rear. Out back we modified that subframe to take an 8.8″ aluminum Ford IRS differential case – we explain why in the forum post. Then we talked about two racing series that this car can compete in, with some changes to tires and aero.
Again, many more details are discussed and shown in the latest post – enjoy!
