Any E30 rallyists here?

[iamsam]

ubergeek: awesome pictures.

NPC: Any E30 that you can find for a good price. Ideally something with an LSD and more power than an M10. You can totally rally an M10 powered E30 but you will be wanting more power very quickly.

Just go for cheap, because you will probably break it. Weld up some reinforcement, make a skidplate, get some Billy HDs, and remove all unnecessary stuff (like interior, AC, etc) and start rallying!

Also, for anyone in Colorado, I started a rally meet for the 31st this month. http://coloradorallyracing.com/forum...php?f=19&t=157

hey guys what would be the best E30 to start with building a fun rally car

[u3b3rg33k]

Awesome.

what model hella's are you running under the bumper? look damn good

550 amber fogs.

they're probably more useful than the sealed beams above them - I never run the lows with them off.

Did you find yourself a quarry?

yup, and its legal to play around in:) It may be where the future reno SCCA rally X events are too.

Hakka RSi's. they can be hard to tell apart without looking at the sidewall. 32 psi all around.

Got a few more:






and yes, those are bona-fide rooster tails in the first pic. I can die a happy man.

those look to be Altimax Arctics you're running, right?

What tire pressures are you running?

[irish44j]

I used to rallyx in SAAB 900's with DCrally about 10 years back. There were all sorts of cars from mighty max's to a karmann ghia with a trick brake setup which would lock up either the left or right side.

Not many e30's though. The one guy who did have one also had a s50 powered 318ti. The bolivian rally (rolly) team was around then too at SCCA events before they went off on their own.

I was just looking at last year's standings and it looks like there is still a Mighty Max running in M2 class (but not winning it).

e30s won DC SCCA stock and prepared 2wd class last year (the same e30 with 2 drivers). This year there will be at least 2 more e30s there (mine and Spencer/Stuart's).

For MR this season, it's a 2nd gen RX7 that is the car to beat.

I run star specs in the not winter, and nokian hakka's in the winter. best of both worlds.

I like to RX mine, too:




or just generally beat the crap out of it, if there's an event, and I can afford it, I'll go.

What year was that? Haven't actually been able to make it to Sno*drift myself, but I have been to LSPR the last 4 years now.

Went to LSPR in 2007 and Sno*Drift 2008.

what do you guys run for tires?

im running snows for now but i'd like to fit a more agressive tread on the car in the future

I'm running Gislaved Nord Frosts (aka General Altimax Arctics in the US).

I'd rather have some rally tires, but I blew my tire budget for this car on some Star Specs for the euroweaves, so I could autocross it too :)
