Ok Joe when you get your car running I might start on mine hope everything is going well.

I might stop by when you are close., If I were you I would run a 2:93LDS or 2:78LSD What size are your wheel,tire setup and what RPM are you going to run I know 225-35-17 @ 7000Rpm W/ 2:78Lsd I was at about 165mph and that was only 10psi

M30 FTMFW haha.

I can't imagine what a boosted M30 would feel like in an e30... too bad we have strict laws here in Kaliforniya

Also, big progress today. We got another 745i parts car to base some fitment research from, and for a grip of spare parts:









btw, misc Hartge content (from the 745):

The blast from the past!!

----------------------------------------------
Project has temporarily taken a detour. I am looking to buy a CLEAN early Schwarz car... If anyone knows of one, let me know. Anywhere in the northwest, or willing to ship from as far as California or Colorado. Mechanical damage ok (preferred), but NO major body detriments.

Did something happen to your car, Joe?

I was initially going to try to get it together before Bimmerfest, but Joe Madoo's build scared me, so I am going to have to bring a different car.

No... I just came to the realization how much exterior and interior work was needed on the chassis. Well over $5k... and this shell is not worth putting that kind of money into.



ps
Just kidding about Madoo.
