    future spec racer

    Here is the car I started with. My plan is to turn it into a spec e30 race car.

          Car is somewhat too nice to be turned into a spec e30 car in my opinion, but your choice. good luck.

              That was my first though too, but when you think about it he would be better off running a nice clean shell than one that is kinda shitty.

                I remember seeing this car for sale a few months ago and it looked like a great platform for a track car/Spec E30.

                Can't wait to see how your build goes.

                    That is way too pretty for Se30. :)

                    Wanna sell the front seats? Also that back wing is not legal. Sweet garage!!

                      First problem that I had to fix was the sway bar & subframe. At some point the tabs broke on the subframe for the sway bar mounts. Apparently the solution was to weld the sways directly to the subframe. So, new subframe as well as new sways front and rear. As well as all the mounting points beefed up.

                          must be nice to have a lift at home ,

                          ohh yeah, that is to clean of a e30 to just beat up.

                              The interior has been stripped!
                              As well as most of the sound deadener material.
