Drain plug for Moroso ND oil pan. A torque spec of 90-100 in lbs should be sufficient on that, but the drain plug on that pan has a built in stop on the bung so it is VERY difficult to over tighten. It is also o-ringed so leaks are very rare with that style plug period... once it is made tight.
Notice that O ring in black, make sure you got that still on there when the plug goes back in.

Fun day with friends at BMW Club Autocross!
I miss our old Qualcomm Stadium Days! Our local BMW Club is using a lot in Chula Vista not far from our shop. This location is convenient but super small compared to the fast long courses we enjoyed back in the day at Qualcomm. Nonetheless, grateful to have local events again with BMW CLUB, lunch is included with admission and today that was the yummy taco guy and lots of fast SCCA buddies run these events.
Working on some cool new tech rear bumpstops in our project ND.
Fun Run with another instructor going shotgun for fun:
Top Time of Day Run 31.5

Re: PROJECT ND: Parts Development, Testing, Measurements, DYNO
Here is a fun ND project.
Been in progress for a while, and we still have some final testing fun. Upgraded rear bumpstops made to perfectly match heights of the stock stops, but in much higher rate and using material that won't break down as fast as the factory and other foam stops do. Obvious application is SCCA CS customers. We can engineer pretty much any performance we want to balance the front sway bar upgrade allowed in that class. Made in perfect height match for stock bumpstops per the CS rules. Notice left side of the picture is 'ND2' rear stop, and right side of the picture is ND1 rear stop, and we can perfectly match heights of both. If you have ND2 you use the little flat spacer you see in the picture, and if you have ND1 you don't. We can make them in numerous different Durometers.
Still in early testing, but we hope this is the future of CS suspension tuning. I don't know if we get these to market this year, but certainly before 2025 season. POST EVENT edit. Cannot say that I found any advantage at all so far. Had good practice day yesterday but felt tired and mentally slow today, and my buddy Scott Lewis took the win. More testing needed, perhaps might have to try even higher durometer version.
