Thread: 2013 Convention Build Status

Ordered new front tires today. That's the last thing I had to order. Everything else has been ordered and has been delivered.
I didn't get the oil change done this weekend because I had to deal with that puncture, and then it started raining and I got lazy.

B13 is done, sans new battery... didn't get around to all the upgrades I wanted for this year but its running well so it's making the trip to GA as is.

P10 is another story...

Stuff yet to do: Reinstall the rear beam , which now has spiffy new poly trailing arm bushings. Order an extra set of brake rotors. Earl change. Frankenstein the Tein 330lb front springs on the rear Tein dampers. Tweak the front alignment settings. Put on the 2.5" exhaust for the hearing impaired. Clean it up, polish, wax, etc etc. Zbout it.

Fuel lines...check
New tires...check


Exhaust...not yet
Battery...not yet
Dyno...not yet

For this track session, can I keep my rear mounted battery (as long as it's tied down good, even though it's not an AGM)?

Got the oil changed on the BMW this Saturday. That sucker drains for hours (6.5 quarts).

Two weeks from now I'll do the front brake pads and rotors (and measure clearances for new wheels). And then soon after the front tires will go on and I'll be ready.

Always forget about this thread.

Exhaust is going on in the next couple days. 1 more thing to cross off the list.

got the maxima pedal with b15 CMC installed, got to finish the shifter assy; and tons more.

Less than a month away, how's everybody doing?

If the battery is properly secured, you should not have a problem.

Do you have a proper 150AMP circuit breaker between the battery and the front engine bay terminal??

I currently have my battery properly secured down in the previously-occupied-by-the-jack compartment with Odyssey and battery strap equipment and I passed tech just fine at my previous SCCA event

The battery is secured within the battery box. No circuit breakers, just a fused distribution block under the hood, and another fused distribution block in the trunk.

I'm probably going to move the battery back under the hood in the next few weeks and use an AGM side-mounted.
