Ran the car today, no clips, but too much back pressure.. re-doing the exhaust tomorrow for less bends and going full 3 inch from the extractors to a 4 inch tip.

Also finally finished the fuel filler hole today.. that was hard . Really hard...

Pipes recut and re welded.. much much better now, no more drop before rpm rise. 3 inch back from the X pipe into 4 inch at the can.

Finally the exhaust is finished!!! youll notice its now completely 3" back from the semi cut Xpipe. and its straight, so no issues with flow.

I gotta modify the back of the front headlights first (when I say modify, I really mean cut 2/3rds of the back of the lights housing off it as the front wheels go that far on partial lock due to how low the car sits now) it's slowly coming to my realization that that there ain't gonna be much actual z4 left on this car that hasn't been modified.

No doubt it’s going to be pretty incredible when it’s done but given the complexity of the project and how long it’s taken, would you still do it if you were back at the beginning and knowing what you know now?

Like most race cars then . I think of them in basic terms like R/C cars where the structure is much the same with probably a different engine and a shell plonked on the top
