      Thanks. I haven't had it on the track yet. But that is the goal. As long as I can keep it running.

        Just noticed your posts..and your car. All I can say is those OZ are fantastic......just incredible. What aRE THE OFFSET?......I know its a long story how you found them.......but what a find......


        they make the car look just perfect for a serious track weapon.

        What rate/length gc coils did you get?...
        I love sitting down and just driving!

          If they're real magnesium, you might want to get them magnafluxed before putting them on the track.

                Not to worried, they are a real magnesium WRC tarmac wheel from a works Ford team in Europe. Don't think I'll be able to hurt them. I've also got a fifth one just incase. ;)

                  Picked up some new parts today, I've been eyeing the Hard Motorort CAE shifter, and AKGs dtm shifter. The AKG part is a couple hundred bucks less and still really nice. I had the usual z3 short shifter before, I can say the AKG part has a lot shorter throw and is a lot notchier. Maybee it will break in a little and get slightly smoother, lol. I know you guys have seen it before but here are a couple pics. Thanks for the interest and the replys guys.

                      Yes I have thought about starting a 911 project. Maybee not, the e30 will spank most 911s as it is now. Almost seems counterproductive to move to a slower car. Of course I'm not talking about a turbo 911, that's out of my price range.

                        I love that interior. I also have the AKG shifter and I love it.

                        Don't sell her!!!

                            911....fantastic car.....so many options , and mods to choose from.
                            (Im an early car, pre 74 guy)..but find a nice 78-89 and have a blast.....also the 964 model can be made to be quite fast as well....the 993 are still pricey.

                            but the cost of mods is bigger to e30 mods for sure.......but they are great cars to track....

                              Yea I know, everybody wants the wheels,LOL. If anybody has a set of BBS e50s in a 17x9 or 10 I'd trade. Bolt pattern doesn't matter.

                                Take your E30 to the track before you even think about selling it!

                                Then post videos of you spanking the p-cars 8)
