Elevate's E30 Evolution

Gotta say, I liked the street setup. You should have picked up a second as a track slut! :-)

yeah, sometimes I feel the same way. The company I work for gives me a free truck and free gas, so having a second e30 to keep pretty for the street just doesn't make sense for my situation. Turning it into a track car fits my needs much better. Besides, she doesn't like to be caged by speed limits and laws. She much prefers to stretch her legs. :D

Update Time!
I spent some time dropping the steering column for a more comfortable driving position. You can see the gap between the column and the dash, only downfall is the view of top of the gauges is blocked a bit.


I spent Saturday doing a DE with the Porsche club and got signed off to drive solo!!


A couple random shots of hot, sticky tires:

Really liking your car! By chance, do you have a write up on how you did the late model valance on the rear?

Well, the latest happening with my car:


I believe the modified carrier I was using did not align perfectly with the mounting point on the transmission. I think the misalignment finally caused the welded portion to snap. Unfortunately, this happened on shift # 1 of run #1 on an autocross day :( My whole day was shot and I was stuck trying to find a way to get it home.

My plans for the next couple of weekends include swapping in a rebuilt trans from drive-gear.com and going to an AKG DTM shifter to eliminate the need for a shifter carrier altogether. I'll report back with my results.

Love the Gulf inspired look!

The parts are here. Time to do some work.

Two words. Plastic Bumpers.

Sorry, forgot I was spoiled with the 88, looks like you have the high arches.

Carry on, beautiful car.

Such a nice progression, makes me really wish I'd waited for another 4dr instead of buying a two door this time around. Sweet project.
