you better be tracking this bitch with those 285s
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

I find this interesting on several levels:
1. The kit is pure rice. Fibreglass? Puh-lease. What happened to quality Euro kits being made from ABS plastics? I don't like the GTR kit on E46s and I especially don't like the overly rotund curves on the boxy E30. To me, there is no cohesion. You lose all subtlety, you lose the balance of the original E30 design. It will fit in perfectly at Hot Import Nights.
2. All that fibreglass on hard-wearing parts is going to crack when you start going to the track. Seen it before plenty of times on other cars that can generate decent amounts of lateral-grip. Additional to that, its going to be pretty damn heavy, whereas getting it all made in ABS plastic or FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic) would constitute massive weight savings.
3. 285 tyres? Surely you jest! Why keep going wider and wider? Why not just upgrade the smaller tyres to R-compounds or semi-slicks for track work? Or start running more hardcore suspension... coilovers with outboard dampers? Stiffer sway bars? Integrated roll cage?
4. You're keeping the 192rwhp M20 with that set-up? 285s and widebody on a FI/hard-tune S50/S54 powered E30, fo sho, but otherwise it seems to be putting a cutting edge, late model-style aesthetics on an old school engine...
That's my opinion. I can't understand why you'd go through all that, but have fun spending time and money on your car.Pork Hunt Motorsport
