Any E30 rallyists here?

[Ferdinand]

We did Targa Newfoundland this year and won the Grand Touring category, the only team of the entire event to finish with zero penalties.

There is a 1991 318i listed in the entries for this weekend's (Fri & Sat) New England Forest Rally.

Rally HQ and start/finish is at the Sunday River Ski Resort, near Bethel, Maine. Hop in your car and come cheer for the BMW, or for us in the Nissan 240SX. Here's a spectator guide describing the various locations to watch from.

Sadly the 318i was a no-show. But we had an eventful time in the Nissan 240SX. See stories and in-car video in this thread on specialstage.com.

I don't know if these guys from Boston are still trying to sell their 318is rally car, but it's still listed on rallyclassifieds.com. They have run it Rally New York.

I've actually driven that car a few years ago, briefly. It's a beautiful build, with some pretty expensive parts and something like four sets of OZ rally wheels. If it's been well maintained, it's worth the asking price.

Three weeks from now, July 17-18, we'll be making our first foray into the US rallying scene with the Nissan 240SX at the New England Forest Rally in Maine.

Come look us up!

ive watched that video a bazillion times and it never gets sore. Probably the best video of an M3 I have ever seen. I'm an IX man, but that is sick.

I almost found a cheap E30 to make into a rally car but it has a broken timing belt on it and I don't want to deal with that. This thread makes me want to rally an E30 soo bad.

or greatest thread?

don't forget folks, the 2wd rear drive e30 m3 did quite well in the Group A in the 88/89/90's...

there is a Ford Mustang that runs group 2 here in the states that is VERY fast. also we run against a 2wd volvo 240 with a monster turbo 4pot that runs in the top 5 to 10 of every event it runs in, that is overall not in class ;)









this car won the WRC Corsica event




Don't count out the rear drive cars, they can and are very fast on gravel. Just takes some skilled hands and feet haha! If you havn't seen the youtube vidz of the Bastos m3, you havn't seen an M3 do work! haha

I have always wanted to rally my iX but I cant do that to my beautiful car. Most ive done was a gravel road where rednecks started throwing shit at me the second time around because I made so much noise the first time it got them off there asses.

I want an offroad E30 soo bad

What's an offroad E30? This one's my go-anywhere all-road E30, summer, winter, tarmac, gravel, mud, snow and ice...

...And two, because I swear I see the ghost of Dale Earnhardt in there.

Passenger-side front window?

[DEV0 E30]

You win Ferdinand for 2 reasons.

Covering your car with mud and rallying it for one.

To get this back on topic of E30s, this is my go anywhere 86 325 getting dirty at a muddy rallycross event. The car is usually black.

Now that is fucking awesome. Oh and I'll hopefully have my dirt toy going in a few days.
