We had to change Butch's seatbelts this year as they had become out of date (waste of money!)- anyway point of my note is to share my experience
new seatbelts really need to be worn in a bit- I had real trouble getting the new ones to work initially- so before your first event clip and unclip the belts A LOT- whilst the pressure is off. nothing worse than facing a last minute faff on the startline on your first event!

PS Have just sent you another copy of the Magazine featuring MIB which I found in a pile!

I must admit I'm not keen on these fasteners and much prefer the aircraft type. It'll do for now, but I may well change it before the first actual event.

Thanks for the mag. Arrived today.

Race car will be here tomorrow and I can get on with the seat fitting. Decided not to go with the digital dash display though, so will copy the period set up instead. Hopefully I may be able to get a fiberglass dash panel like the Eggenberger cars ran.

Should be able to post some pics tomorrow.

A bit more progress yesterday. I have a few more aluminium panels to make up, but it's really taking shape now.











Engelmann mirrors are just about the only aftermarket ones that suit an e21.



The only problem has been the crappy arches from Pesch. They are absolutely useless, but fortunately I have a UK supplier now and they're first class.

Wow that car is really coming along now!

I have the aircraft type- same issue very stiff to start with (much prefrred my old set !)

Good idea going for more original dash pod etc IMO- have you come across CBS- car builder solutions- they have some dash pod sets?

Just about finished with the arch repair (although still need to fit it obviously) and got the poly window kit in. Now working through other jobs, like alloy dash panel etc. The suspension is Gaz and the brakes are a Wilwood conversion, thanks to Ben.





I owe a massive thank-you to Stanced UK who are supplying 15x9 crosspokes.



My only thing at the moment is engine choice. Whilst I really like the idea of 200bhp from a supercharged m42, it means I would go from ModProd class to Sports Libre. That means I go from competing against modified road cars to competing against sports racing cars, where difference in performance is large. In the large sports libre class, I'm going to need to mix it with the single seaters to do well in class. So, I may need to look at running an m10 instead? I can get a 2002tii lump for reasonable money, including Kugelfischer injection. I know that's only 130bhp (on a good day) but with a cam and some head work, I think 150-160 is achievable. I could always fit Webers for extra cool?

2.0l S14 I have 1 in bits, cheapest power and torque as the m30 heavy but just sort the handling. Enter it as an alpina so the engine is road going class.

What is the class structure

Note 1: All cars must comply with S.10.1-10.9.

Note 2: All cars with engines running on diesel fuel will be subject to a 30% capacity reduction. E.g. 2000cc diesel engines equate to 1400cc and will be eligible for class A1 or B1 according to their classification.

Note 3: Series Production Cars are defined as cars complying with S.11.1.1, 11.3-5.1, 11.6-8.
Specialist Production Cars are defined as cars complying with S.11.1.2, 11.3-4, 11.5.2-8.
Modified Limited Production Cars are defined as cars complying with S.12.1, 12.3-6.1, 12.6.3-12.9.2.
Modified Specialist Production Cars are defined as cars complying withS.12.2, 12.3-12.5, 12.6.2, 12.6.3-12.9.2.
Sports Libre Cars must comply with S.14 and Racing cars with S.15.
Rally Cars must comply with R.46-49 AND S.14. Included in the latter Category would be Group B cars, any cars without the original engine block of the model entered, and car with a transmission layout not as originally specified for that model, or a Specialist Rally Car without an engine complying with S.12.6.2. They need not be taxed.

Note 4: The onus of responsibility for the eligibility of vehicles competing in the championship rests with the Entrant/Competitor. In the event of a dispute concerning the compliance of a vehicle to the regulations, the onus will be on the competitor to satisfy the organisers, NOT the organisers to prove compliance.

NOTE 5: Event Organisers are urged to use the above class structure.

2. Championship points will be awarded as follows:
First in class (if an ASWMC Registered contender) – 20 points plus 0.01 points for every 0.01 second their time betters that of the second placed finisher up to a maximum of 21 points.
(If there is only one finisher in the class, who is an ASWMC Registered Contender, then 20 points (max) will be awarded)
Second in class, if an ASWMC Registered Contender – 20 points
Remaining contenders in class: 20 points minus 0.01 points for each 0.01sec that their time is greater than that of the second placed finisher.
The minimum score shall be 1 point.
In addition to the above scoring system a bonus for breaking the record for the class at a venue will be awarded by 0.01 for each 0.01 second up to a maximum of 1 point.
Class records will be records set by ASWMC contenders only.
Class points will be based on all entries in the class.
Existing class records will be posted before the start of the season, if no record for a class exists then the record from an equivalent class will apply plus 0.01 second. Similarly any class record that is disproportionately slow will be adjusted accordingly.

3. When registering, contenders MUST nominate, on the Championship Registration Form, the class in which they intend to contest the championship and in which their championship points are to be awarded. Contenders wishing to change class MUST notify the Championship Co-ordinator in writing, by email or by post. Letters must be postmarked not later than the day prior to the event in which the change is to be operative. emails must be sent not later than the day prior to the event in which the change is to be operative. The onus is on the Championship Contender to prove that an email was sent, and received, within the allowed timescale.
Failure to comply with the above may result in loss of championship points.

4. Clubs may vary, amalgamate or subdivide classes at events as they feel necessary, but must provide the Championship Co-ordinator with Entry Lists and Results showing the cars competitors actually drove so as to allocate points correctly, especially in respect of Regulation 2 above. Where there are less than 3 competing in a class, this may be amalgamated and the points based on the amalgamated class.

5. Not more than 2 rounds shall normally be held at any venue using the same course. Venues with more than one course shall be limited to not more than two rounds on any course. This regulation may be waived to maintain the viability of the championship.

A bit more progress and apart from some minor bits of trim and a drivers door lock, the body is nearly done.



I think the Minilites look pretty cool, but Stanced UK Ltd have offered some deep dish crosspokes, that will look period correct.



The battery arrived today and only weighs a couple of Kg's.



I'll take some better pics tomorrow.

[pandemonium001]

Car is looking amazing.

Note 2: All cars with engines running on diesel fuel will be subject to a 30% capacity reduction. E.g. 2000cc diesel engines equate to 1400cc and will be eligible for class A1 or B1 according to their classification.

What class would a N47D20B from a 123d engined E21 be in?? 332lbft.

[Jeroen]

Nice update once more! We have new BMWE21.net window stickers in as well, PM me your address and I'll send you a few if you like. Would make a nice promotion

[e21-Mark]

My car has arrived back home.

















All tucked up safely.

[Jeroen]

Oh yeah, she looks great! Are you planning on sticking a contemporary livery as well?
