In todays episode i spend too many hours freaking out about the possibility of not fitting in the Z, and then i get back to work test fitting all panels and start on roll cage placement.

Why not redo the frame?
Maybe try this for PCM management? https://www.condorspeedshop.com/products/megasquirtpnp-gen-2
Delete the top support on the frame rail and put a new one underneath. You will suffer if u dont have enough leg room
The exhaust manifold looks like a packet of ramen.
look into an older jaguar brake system…..no booster. It uses an accumulator system and is very small and most of it mounts else where from the fire wall
"keep moving forward" TJ taking over the car YouTube game👌
I felt this way when I bought my first RX8 fucking tiny. im 5' 11" but im also 220 pounds at 8 percent bodyfat. (im a body builder) it sucked but I got used to it.
You should consider redoing the frame.
why not eliminate the doubled box-section where it goes down?
With a roll cage installed there will not move anything!
don't think, that the Frame needs much material to stabilize everything. Build smart!
Good luck!
Cut up the m5 dash
Cut that frame. Seriously, I know its hard and its a boatload of work but it will pay off to go that extra mile here.
Looks awesome but heat might be an issue
They're roomy when the seats are placed right and aren't garbage. I spend hundreds of hours and thousands of miles in mine
I worked in the auto glass industry for a couple years, the metal trim is the retaining ring for the glass. Just ask for a black plastic retaining strip for the gasket.
Don't let the negative comments get to you Chris!
Camero?
I think if you do a ews delete and I think kanbus delete you'll be able to use a race pack… Because on my e30 m62 swap I did a ews delete and I'm running my e30 cluster and keys…
Back then people were shorter l, that’s why
So back to reading comments? Damm, I would have said something about leg space before if I knew.
But with so "clever" speeches like the one asking for emails if someone had something "important" to say because you read ALL comments, many feel more motivation on sitting and waiting for failure than on giving feedback. And failure arrived, what a surprise.
You are trying to buid a sports car taking parts from a wide body M5 and fitting them on on a narrow old car with a chassis that looks tailored for a Ford T or a truck. And you want to make it low too.
Shoudnt you be doing something more like this?

… and putting the engine more to the front? you have now a mid engine, it is almost completely behind the front axle, guess why you have close to none leg space…
You have two M5, one that you can cut if needed… and one that you can measure. Do you think you can put the engine closer to the driver than in the original car? no? yes? how much? You moved it too much, but it was not a guesswork, it was a measure one… damm it.
Only a midget would fit….noooooooo
why not buy a 2+2 nissan 240 Z
Hello if you have the car radio that you do not need me you can send it to me that you pay for my broken and since you have a Bmw 5 series for spare parts I ask you … 🤗🤗🤗
….money… mhmm throw some our way we just need to get maintenance done..
It’s a lot of hate for y’all to watch his videos daily great job my guy
MIGHTY CAR MODS in Australia just finished a 240 build if you havent checked it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M02hzTepx1o
Make a side fender exhaust
This will be the fastest Munchkin car ever.
Just trim the dash and make a small firewall between the wire and then the dash too if that is even possible, just trying to think outside the box
Racing organizations specify a certain range of tilt that a main hoop can have. You should check how your proposed angle compares with the ones NASA or SCCA suggests for safety reasons.
Just change the motor. Save the motor for another build
Make a 240 V8 supercharged twin turbo 👍🏼
HAHAHAHAH he knew he screwed up
I know you said you ordered slim sparco seats, but if those don’t work you could look into those Kirkey racing seats that are pretty minimal and I think they have quite a few different sizing options
Keep chuggin man, if it was easy… everyone would be doing it.
You should check this channel maybe take some ideas for your build https://www.youtube.com/user/thefabforumscom
