E30 leads in class at One Lap of America

That's awesome. I can't wait to check out their site when I get home, it's blocked here at work :/

Also that Mazda 5 wagon with the mazdaspeed3 swap is sick. I wonder if it really is a direct bolt-in engine like they say? Shit I'd love to have a car like that. I've always dug the 5 minivan, it's smaller size and edgy styling with a 250+hp turbo motor would be strait :pimp:

It was a son of bitch swap according to the magazine, something about switching out an entire car wire harness, took an auto school something like 6 months plus quite a bit of 3speed stuff didn't fit under the hood. After finished they were having tuning issues, i stopped my subscription before they ever had a 2/3 article on the car.


The e30 looks awesome for a second I thought it was an m3 until I count the lugs on the wheels.

Awesome! I got a chance to see this car up close and personal at Hallett yesterday.

Only breifly spoke with Kevin, it was about 30 minutes before his first session and he was wrenching away so I didn't want to bother him too much.

We are all blown away with how fast the car was. He was really charging down the front straight, impressive stuff!

i love these e30 ass kicking stories coming up everywhere. it's like the rally one, who gives a fuck if its 20 years old, its still one of the best out there.

Those are Eurostop panels? Freaking gorgeous, IMO.

Yep. Eurostop front fenders, side skirts, rear panels, rear bumper and GTR hood. (The "hump" on it is custom made by DTR - to accomodate the plenum and ITBs).

Its all in the proper massaging and install. He put a ton of hours into installing them. I know the kiddies here like to rag on Ary's stuff, but it is actually good stuff - just needs professional installation to work right.

Up to 5th PLACE OVERALL!!!!!!! And they are closing on 4th!

Cars in front are a couple of highly modifed 911s (one with pro driver Leh Keen) A built Corvettte piloted by Danny Popp and a Skyline GT-R.

Not too shabby for an aerodynamic brick with antiquated suspension design . . . :-)

Shit he's running 315 rear tires, no wonder he needs m3 flares lol. What an awesome accomplishment.

Forgelines. Very nice, very expensive.
