91 318is GT car

Wow. Way cool.

[word is bond]

Its a pretty basic car,

Way to undersell... 270 hp and 2100 lbs with driver! Wow! I think all of us M42 guys will take as much build information and as many photographs as possible. Subscribing in anticipation...

I am so envious right now. I'm currently building a stroker M42. HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THAT MUCH POWER?!

I'm hoping to get 180 to the wheels with a bored and stroked M42, wild cams, 19lb injectors and port matched manifolds.

Please explain

Sounds like a fun car. I bet those ITBs sound fantastic with the ITG airfilter (I run one on my Datsun) 270 hp should allow you to scoot right along. Dave Rebello can build some nice stuff, he did my cylinder head and cam for the roadster.

Have fun

We have had this car a couple years, always meant to post it, but never did.
Its a 91 318is, was a NASA GTS-2 car, now its more a standard GT/touring car to run in small bore GT classes.

Its a pretty basic car, key is the lightness.

Specs: If I can remember it all..

318is
2.0L Rebello M42, ITB's, custom head/cams, solid lifter kit, Euro diesel crank, 10.5:1 (with thick gasket, built as a 12:1 motor, we elected to run 91 oct).
Stock gearbox with racing clutch/flywheel
custom diff (can't remember the ratio)
AKG shifter
Adaptronic stand alone ecu, with Race Technologies Dash and data pack

6 point cage
Cobra Sebring Pro
Schroth belts
Momo Mod 78

Ground control coilovers with Bilstein race dampers, IE sway bars

Pretty basic car, but here is the interesting stuff, with me in it, and 15L of fuel, it weighs 2078 pounds. Its has from what I remember as our last dyno run, almost 270hp at 7400rpm.
Very fun car to drive, I usually drive a GT1 Vette, which is a LOT different to this car, you can be so aggressive in the e30, the Gt1 car is always trying to hurt you at very high speeds.

I'll include some pics and a couple vids.
