Your Dream e30 race car build!

[Jean]

If you win the lotto, how would you build your e30 race car?

I'll go first-

Chassis fully cleaned and seam welded everywhere.
Fenders front/rear widened (bubble flares) to fit custom 15x10 wheels with 265 tires on all 4.
Full built-in pro. welded cage
E39 m5 or new M3 v8 engine
Motorsport Kaaz or the like race diff
Moton or AST custom coilover
BBK on all 4 with bias adjustment
Fuel system with 2/redundant pumps.
AKG type control arms
Trailing arms redone with spherical ends
Steering column/pedal assembly moved back/adjusted
Nice race seats
STACK or RaceTech type dash with suspension sensors and data acq.
CF or fiberglass hood/fenders/trunk/doors for weight reduction.
Undertray/body work that works to increase downforce.

One can dream right?

M3 converted to group A spec except with S38B38 turbo engine.
With exact reproduction of the wheels shown below.
And with my own original livery.

BORING. Make your lists, #2 already said "with turbo engine".

Agree with your list Jean, except I would try and transplant the rear multi link set up from a newer M3 or something.

Hmmm, dream car would have to be something fully built for autoX. Exterior would look a bit like this:


-Car would be fully gutted, caged, seam welded, etc.
-Some sort of engine swap. S38/S5x. Fully worked over, ported head, ITB's, high comp N/A build, standalone tune.
-Big brakes all around, adjustable bias, SS lines, ABS removed.
-Adjustable coilovers, adjustable sways, poly bushings/spherical bearings where aplicable. Camber plates, maybe carbon rear control arms?
-Two nice, matching race seats, along with matching 5 point harnesses.
-Carbon hood and trunk, plexiglass spoiler.
-Small capacity baffeled fuel cell w/ high performance pump or 2.
-Work to minimize weight outside of wheelbase of the car, but still retain as close to 50/50 balance as possible.
-Non-M Z3 steering rack, one piece steering column, smaller than stock diameter nice suede wheel.
-Short throw shifter, delrin knob, beefed up 3.73 or perhaps 4.10 LSD
-Reworked cooling system, aluminum radiator, slim electric fans.
-Big ass Hoosiers all around.

Aiming for something realistic, I'd love to shove a frankenstein M6X in my car, with one of the analog Stack tachs, properly setup 5 lug with AST coils, overfenders, and some light aero. Stack analog stuff is da coolest.
