e430 Endurance Racecar build by WOT-Tech

2 minute(s) of a 17 minute read

GTO, this is a build for a close friend and customer. Most of the fabrication was done in house, with specialty items done by long time local associates.

We didn't feel comfortible with taking the car out for a 14 hour endurance race finishing so close to green flag, so we took the BMW e30 (I know tisk tisk). Too many little things to risk endangering the car or a driver. We will be doing a test run soon and the new planned debut for the car is Sebring in Sept for a 14hr battle.

Anyway, here's a vid of me driving Miss Daisy at Daytona in the e30...lol

Finally got the clutch, pedals, brakes, drive shaft, wiring and computers etc to all coincide. Haven't road tested it yet, but once the brakes are bled, she is ready for a maiden voyage and dyno tune. Miami/Homestead May7 is the target for a track day test.

More pics if anyone cares to see below

Well, my BMW isn't ready for this weekend at Sebring, and since I am a track official, I have to be there - so, the Benz will tag along and get an additional test weekend in before the 7th

Got rid of the MB body harness, re-ran the few circuits needed for brake lights, fuel pump, gauges, cool suit, headlights etc. Also gutted the MB gauge cluster and inserted aftermarket.
