There are a ton of photos in my build thread, but probably nobody has a spare week to sift through 50 pages of that. So here are some pics from the history of my '85 318i rallycross car over the years

Looks like fun. What's the highest you've jumped it?

SCCA Rallycross generally doesn't have any jumps per se (not like "Global Rallycross or stage rally). Rallycross courses are generally set up so that most stock cars can run the course with no significant damage (other than paint chips and really dirty chassis and lots of tire wear).

That said, it's been off the ground a few times a foot or so, lol....

Suspension is pretty soft (intentionally). For stage rally it would have a taller, much stiffer suspension with more travel to soak up big air.

Maybe in a few years :)
