Alpha NB Miata LS1 - Vorshlag Project : This is the project build gallery of Vorshlag's first or "Alpha" build of an NB generation MX5 Miata V8. We plan on installing an aluminum 5.7L LS1 engine, some sort of beefed up manual transmission, a stronger rear differential carrier, and lots of other upgrades that we feel are necessary for this power upgrade. Goal is to have a reliable, 400 whp, track worthy, fully functional street car. Our tester for this build is Jason Toth.

McCall's BMW E36/7 Z3 M Roadster (with LS1 V8) : Jason has been a great tester for several Vorshlag products on the many cars he has owned over the years (RX8, EVO 9, Supercharged Miata, E36 M3, Pontiac G8) and tested our E36 LS1 swap kit in his BMW M Roadster. After finding an engine-less M Roadster in Florida we drove 36 hours non-stop to go pick it up and bring it back to Dallas. This car was built for autocross (SCCA X Prepared) and Time Trial use (NASA TTU) and ended up at 2450 pounds. It has 18x10.5F/18x11R CCW wheels, giant Hoosiers, and lots of other go fast goodies. Oh, and that LS1 aluminum 5.7L V8 and T56 6-spd transmissions! This car is for sale here: http://www.vorshlag.com/cars-z3m-ls1.php

Vorshlag E46 330Ci - track build : A chronological gallery of pictures from the buildup, development and racing of the 2001 BMW E46 330Ci owned by Terry Fair of Vorshlag. This car was originally built to SCCA Solo DSP class rules but also run in NASA TTD Time Trial class, setting 3 track records. This car was street legal, but was built more and more as a dedicated race car, as time went on. Then after two M54 motors had oil pump drive issues, and a very poor showing at the 2010 Solo Nationals in DSP, we decided to go another route with this car. We are now replacing the blown motor with a lower mileage 2005 M54 then its back to NASA TTD use.

GRM E30 V8 Project : Pictures of the Vorshlag Team's Grassroots Motorsports $2010 Challenge project E30. The "$200X GRM Challenge" is an annual shootout among 75+ teams, where each group builds a car to compete in an event that includes: drag race, autocross and car show. The entire car has to be built for under $2010 (and each year you get +$1 more to play with). Its a great exercise in creativity, fabrication skill, chassis/engine tuning, and driving ability! We started with a non-running $500 1986 BMW 325e, got it running, pulled the stock drivetrain, and started test fitting V8 engines. We're using 15x10" steel wheels and 275/35/15 Hoosier A6 tires, a 5.3L '04 Chevy truck "LM7" motor (iron block/alum heads, part of the LS1 family), a V6 Camaro T5 (that broke!), and built box flares to cover the tires. We ran it in the $2010 event and did "OK", tweaked it some for the $2011 event - which we won! Now the car has been prepped beyond that budget level with an aluminum "L33" 5.3L engine, new T5, 18x11" CCW wheels, AST coilovers, and more.

Unlike the actual art car that inspired us, instead of using an expensive wrap we cut each stripe by hand in vinyl. The number boards were die cut vinyl, of course.

After a three seasons of autocrossing, track events and Time Trials, the motor was upgraded in late 2008.

This is built around the rules for SCCA Street Mod class (auto-x) but will also be used in NASA Time Trials (TTS) and Redline Time Attack events. Starting weight of 2440 pounds is a good start!

The Red Bullet : Terry bought this car in December 2008 for very little money. It didn't start, was dirty, mostly disassembled, but he could see a potential daily driver under all that. It was throughly cleaned up, made to run again, and many little parts were repaired or replaced. During the extensive cleaned many rounds of live ammo were recovered, hence the name "the red bullet". Terry used this 325i 5-spd car for making parts deliveries and other commuter type duties - with a dead stock suspension, stock wheels and tires, stock exhaust. Nice, soft, and quiet. Here's some pictures of the car, before and after the repairs and cleanup.

EVO X "MR" Transmission Cooling Mod : The "SST" semi-automatic dual clutch transmission in the EVO X "MR" has a tendency to overheat with track use. The fix for this includes: 1) never left foot brake (even the slightest brake application partially disengages the clutch, causing slippage and heat), 2) remove the left side fog light that covers half of the trans cooler, and 3) add a Spal fan to the back of the transmission cooler like we did. We show the fog light removal, fan install and relay/switch wiring below. Do this mod to your MR and get back on track!

This 5.3L V8 powered, short bed/regular cab truck has seen some miles but we will freshen things up and add our own "Vorshlag touches" to it. We will use it to pick up pallets and parts, pull an open trailer around town now and then, and other various duties here at Vorshlag. The term "GMT800" refers to the generation of truck, which was built from 1999-2006 and included radical departures from previous GM trucks, including: hydroformed frame rails, LSx based engines, 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS, and more.
