    New Pro3 Build

    We have decide to build an 86 E30 325e Pro3 car to Rent for track days and ICSCC Pro3 races. We have worked on and or built built a large number of these cars for customers and It is time to have one for use to have some fun with. Also contributing to this build is we wanted a nice platform for a test mule for prototyping parts and putting them into heavy use. Pro3 is arguable the most competitive class on the West Coast with large fields and very closely matched cars.

    Sorry I don't have many pics of the car whole we got pretty gung-ho and started tearing it apart!



    Donor Car damn shame it was very clean it was in a garage the roof collapsed on "look closely at the roof"


















    Starting on the floorplates for the cage

            On other build we have seen some flex in the bar going from the trunk to the main hoop (we had paneling around the bar and the bar put indents into the panel so it was flexing)

            We did the same design on our ST M3 Car
