Pt1 Another @staggeredne in the books. Beyond thrilled to take home P1 for the second year in a row, and even more exciting to have my very own M3 on this years trophy. My only goal this weekend was to run a high 1:15, but crossing start finish and seeing the AiM clock a 1:15.29 was something I just did not expect at all. The @autosportfab setup had the car on rails the entire weekend, and the new McLaren BBK gave me a whole new level of confidence and trust in the car. Most importantly, and as always thank you @ransomgarage for always going the extra mile and helping me with this stupid hobby. I know it’s not easy, but I couldn’t do any of this without you. PT2 post soon

Very productive day today at Ransom HQ.
- Started C West mounting
- Finished rear panel assembly/welding and is now ready for final body work and paint
- Gearmotive dog box install finally done
It’s going to be a fun season
Happy 7th year gotcha day to the best rig in the whole fleet. At times I do miss how simple the M3 use to look, but there is not a single thing I would change about this whole journey.
It’s probably safe to say operation Cwest has been the most nerve wracking, stressful, expensive, and most importantly exciting project I have undertaken so far. It’s finally finished, and back home with me alongside the original carbon Kevlar bumper. I am absolutely blown away by the quality and fitment of it, and it feels even better knowing that I own a mold for it, the original stayed intact, and will be able to preserve it forever. This genuinely does feel like a dream come true now. Orders will be open for them soon, and more details will be posted in the future.
My impatient self was planning on waiting to post pics of this until I picked it up, but the reproduction Cwest has finally been completed. This has been a pretty large undertaking, but 100% worth it. Current plan is to pick it up alongside the original bumper on Saturday and start getting it mounted. With that being said, I am going to start working on logistics for ordering them since they will all be built and made to order. Each bumper will be $2000 + shipping. For now, send me a DM if you are interested and we can start planning from there.
Big upgrades inbound for the 632 & 633 this year. Can’t wait to get back out there with @n8andhism3 and make a bunch of s54 noises

But in all seriousness, I am very excited to finally have my hands on a @gearmotive ZF5 dog box for the M3. This is by far one of the coolest, and possibly best upgrades I could do for the car, and now I get the added bonus of all the fun and loud noises it’s going to make.
Not too long ago, @the_reaaper reached out to me about some Assetto E46 mods. We ended up chatting over discord for a few hours about modding, chassis setup, racing, and all things E46. To keep a long story short, he has been putting in OT and working to get something very near and dear to my heart into Assetto. It’s still crazy to see my own car inside a sim, and let alone drive like my own car. Even the little details like the cut rear bumper, McLaren calipers, and the soon to be installed Cwest and dog box. There are not enough thank yous in the world I can give @the_reaaper for taking on this project, and most importantly being able to bond over these silly cars. I’m ecstatic to continue to help develop the mod, and see where it takes us.
I know the video quality sucks, using game bar to screen record and assetto replay, transfer to google drive, then download onto my phone is probably not the right way to do this lol
