Castro Motorsport: Kato Racing's LS7 "E40Z06" M3 Race Car Build

[e30polak]

So Radium Engineering came on as a sponsor for the project and hooked us up with one of their awesome fuel surge tank, which we will be setting up to dual AEM 320lph pumps to be ready for E85 if we decide to run that fuel.

This piece is absolutely gorgeous, and dealing with Radium for this product has been a great experience!

Also here are a few cleaner shots of the wheels, more to come as we start the fender flare process!

The widebody fender flare project began today and Chris and the guys have made quick work of it. These are not the finished product, but they are a really good solution for our track day this Saturday.

The wheels specs (with 25mm spacers all around)

Front: 18x11 et5 with a 315/30/18 Hoosier A6
Rear: 18x12 et0 with a 335/30/18 Hoosier A6

I'll post more pics of progress tomorrow night!

Starting the process





Adding the edge of the factory flare back on







Metal cleaned up





Some bondo added (just for shaping)







Primed and done for the time being, other side being tackled as I post this!

That widebody is insane, it reminds me of the bmw off of NFS Most Wanted. It's killer.

[The Simps]

I like the way you tackled it by removing the lip, extending, refitting the lip! Any plans to flare out the bumper to suit?

LOL, ya it's pretty nuts! 3" wider than stock up front and the rears will be just over 4" wider than stock!

Ya and this is Chris's first widebody project! His brother has done all the other flare work for us in the past!

Front and rear bumper extensions will be made once flares are finished!

[e30polak]

More updates from last night! All flares and bumper extensions should be done by tonight!

[e30polak]

More work on the rear flare!







With a bit more shaping







More to come tonight!!!

Yes. We may end up going with an FRP or CF stock style trunk when we get the adjustable high rise wing for the car though.

[e30polak]

Lots of progress last night and into this morning, everything should be done by tonight!
