need a SPEC M42 class

[e30s50dan]

There's a Spec E30,E36,Spec3...why no Spec M42 class...talk about a cheap "budget race class"..Ive done research and have'nt seen one.there seems to be alot of 91 318I and IS's that are inexspensive and engine a plenty..I am thinking Spec E30 suspension,brakes,and drop the weight.
I have been racing with NASA for years and sold my 944 (944CUP) over the summer,and am looking to get into a new series..hell, maybe i will start one! what do ya think??

good:)

Well, since the M42s are cult cars that hold their value better than the 325i does, and since there are less of them, starting a spec series doesn't seem like a great idea to me.

Really? I had no idea our cars held their value better than the 325s...
but the big problem is that there aren't as many m42 cars around..

edit: ^ what he said

[trackjunkie21]

Other problem is that M42 parts cost more than m20 parts, atleast from what I have seen.

[e30s50dan]

you could add the M44 engine ...crap lot of them around here!

[ZM Blue Devil]

there use to be right? or you could run m42s in the the spece30 but I they changed it.

Wouldn't a SpecM42 class be like the Special Olympics? ;-) Great people who are missing "a little something"...

As I recall, in the beginning Spec E30 included a sub class for 318's. But that was dropped a while back because of a lack of participation. A 318 just wasn't competitive with a 325i and nobody came. To be a success I think you'd have to have a separate series. And even then I'm not sure it compete for entries with Spec E30.

Why not just build a Spec E30?

Spec M42: because an M20 just isn't cheap enough.

Just do SE30.
