Solo 2 Classification Help

[Charlie]

The M3 is in CSP (if I remember right) so technicaly his car would go to a racing class. The M3 needs to be on the same line and in the same class.

What would that have to do with this guy's m42 318? He's a "3 series 16v NOC", stuck in DSP. The M3 is specified in CSP.

I think Josh was concerned about the diff. The 318is came with a 4.10 open originally, so running the M3 4.10 LSD gearset doesn't cause the car to move out of DSP. LSDs are free, as long as you stick to the right ratio.

i got classed in STX, i know i am no threat to the guys in there. can i run in DSP, or would that require running R Comps? which would i do better in? i am not expecting to come out there and blow the guys away... i meen shit it is my first time, and all i am hoping is that i stay on track, and dont spin out! I am not planning on running r comps until i get used to running on street tires ie. BFG Traction lol then some azenis. i know i am pretty much outclassed in all the classes i would go to, but i hope to hopefully keep up with some people eventually!

Thanks, guys

and sorry to thread jack!!

What does it matter then? Your not going to be competing for a position for a long time unless you local region sucks. There's no point comparing yourself to others until you are consistent, and that won't be for a long time. Just run whatever you want, I would stay in STX, since you are on street tires and that's what the class is for. Technically STX would be an "easier" class, but like with my local region, STX is tougher to place in then DSP because there's only a few people running DSP, but STX is filled with modded WRX's. Your not going to do good - you have more to learn then you can imagine. Go out and have fun, don't worry about placing, it takes a lot of the fun out of it when you are learning. Also, take advantage of any instructional runs you can do, as long as the instructor is good.

DSP or STX, just like practically every other e30. There's really not much variety there dude.

[Jean]

You can just run SM like me j/k

SM does not allow for weight reduction, other than back seat/spare tire. Does DSP allow it ?

damn dude no need to get nasty, it was just a question, if i could have made any sence out of the rule book i would not have needed to ask you.

I think you took his response the wrong way, it didn't seem nasty to me.

If you cant figure out what your car is in, you need to go back to drifting.

I was unaware the 318 came with a 4.10 diff.

[LedZep244]

I have the same question, but mine is

Car
1991 318iS

Suspension
-C3Motorsport Coilovers
-450F/750R Eibach ERS Springs
-Vorshlag Camber Plates
-Koni SA Front and Rear
-M3 Offset Bushings

Driveline
-Slipping clutch
-M3 4.10 LSD

318's run FSP, not DSP. Its not any more fun, just get waxed by the jetta's and GTI's.

Wrong. M42/44 engined 318's (90-92) run in DSP (16v NOC rule). M10 engined ones run in FSP.

Hoya is correct.
83-85 318i M10 (8v) goes HS, FSP, SM
90-92 318/i M42 (16v) goes GS, DSP, SM

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't see any distinction in the rule book. Thats really not fair for the M42 cars.
