No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.Comment

Funny you ask. The windows being down actually was not the dominant contributor to the mud bulk that entered the car. I high centered/bottomed out kind of hard on a berm that must have contained a sizeable rock because it blasted a hole in the floopan of the car right behind the driver's seat, and it acted as a mud scoop, so the driver's floorpan now has about three inches of liquid mud in it, with mud splattered all over the rear bodywork below the bench seat, which caused it to splatter all over the back of the Recaros as well...
As far as the windows being open, nearly nothing entered while driving straight, but as soon as the car went into a significant slide, the forward-facing side window would bring in all the airborne stuff, of which there was a lot.or

we have 6 e30s and an e28 rallycrossing locally.
and all of them are RWD ;)
rallycrossing an IX just means you're going to get whopped by all the subies and evos at every event (disclaimer...I rally-x an e30 and daily drive a tuned WRX ;) )Stage rally/rallycross e30 build/competition journal
