Brendan and I stripped the chassis harness eliminating a bunch of un-needed junctions\/unions. Mark worked on getting the roadster exhaust shoe-horned into the coupe, and will get that done next build weekend.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/_data\/i\/upload\/2017\/01\/31\/20170131231102-0f424e9c-me.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1055.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The car looks spectacular! We worked a lot on the hood hinge mechanism retrofitting a BMW E30 hood latch mechanism allowing the nose to pop up 3 inches then hinge open hopefully allowing splitter to clear the ground. Some great engineering done by Mark here. Chris Allen, fellow NASA racer and coupe owner, came by to check out the build and try out the seating position! some enduros may be in order with this beast.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gen3 coupe R with e30 hood hinge\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tSX3zrnIjNU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Recap video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coupe build weekend3 1000x speed\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y7k8_jSGoK4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coupe build weekend3 day4recap\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oN3BiNCryMc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Pictures from weekend:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/index.php?\/category\/390\">http:\/\/www.johngeorgeracing.com\/gallery\/index.php?\/category\/390<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next build weekend Feb 10-13, 2017.
