In early August of 2007, with only 2 months until the Grassroots Challenge we began work on the car. The first day of work begins by putting in new sparkplugs, a new timing belt, used distributer wires, and a bunch of other engine parts we sourced at the junkyard. At the same time as i did that, Jimmy began stripping out as much unnecessary weight out of the interior, including the door panels, headliner, rear seats, A/C heater box and sound deadening material. Its amazing how much stuff is in these cars!
This site documents the progress of our Holset hx35 powered 1988 BMW 325is built exclusively for the Grassroots Motorsports Challenge. We are 4 year GRM veterans, finishing in 3rd place overall and 2nd in the autox for the past 2 years in a row. We are now in the process of creating a TT track monster that will do its best at dominating the Ultimate Track Car Challenge field at Virginia International Raceway in 2011. Stay tuned for updates!
