Hey, Kish. How's the cage?

BTW, since the E30 M3 was first introduced in '87 it's also eligible for VARAC Group 70+ ( the cutoff is 1988 ). I'd love to take part in some classic M3 vs. 16v action...

Basically, I just wanted to do something different. We've been driving E30's in my family since 1984. I've run my current 318is track car since it was new in 1991. I'm just looking for something slightly bigger, faster ... and cooler :pimp:sigpic

The engine is also a matter of money. We have contacts with Cosworth here in the USA. The parts are all still available. Even a build to full Evo II engine spec is still possible (if you want to spend the money).
The transmission is relatively easy to find. But the stock close-ratio, dog-leg gearbox on the 2.3 is good enough.
The many suspension tweaks to the Evo II would all be pulled out and tossed in the trash on a track car anyway. So that's not an issue.
The only issue is the trick rear diff. But most race cars would have that pulled out and replaced with something stronger anyway.
In the end, it wouldn't be an exact replica. But it would be close enough that only the biggest Cosworth geek would know the difference.Last edited by Emre; 02-26-2010, 08:23 AM.sigpic

I have decided that I must have a set of Th Mono's, even if I have to sell both sets of rims I have. I would definitely like to see this unfold.1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury. Over engineered S50b30 murica BBQ swap in progress.

I'll also need another set of wheels for my E30. I'll probably go with another set of 15x7" TDR ProRace 1.3's from Bimmerworld. But I'll consider a set of Compomotives in 15x8" as long as they clear my big brakes. Either MO1580 (left) or TH1580 (center); too bad I can't afford the TS15 (right):

Took a while...
We bought wheels...

Now we have a car. It just arrived. Couldnt be happier. Zero rust, engine checked out at 180 straight across all 4 Cylinders... Interior needs work and some minor other things but a perfect car for the plan...
