Saw a lowered, nice clean-looking silver 4-door late E30 today, eastbound on -540. Looked really nice. Maybe 15" wheels on it.

Chump racing

APTYP - what car will you be racing? This is our first Chump race. I"m sure we will end up with a 1000 laps. I think the first Lemons race we got a few hundred as well.

Can't wait - we have to figure out how to mount our headlights..

How was chump cars vs Lemons? I did three races at CMP with a 92 Jetta and had a blast. Some friends and I are thinking of getting back into it and I'm wondering if it is worth the extra effort to make the car chump-car legal so we can run both series.

How were they price wise? I'm guessing reasonable since you highly recommended it?

More than reasonable. The owner is, Danny, is cool and easy to work with.

Saw a nice looking matte black coupe with a europlate coming off I-77 south on exit 23....I was in my friends Saab, but I gave a thumbs up!

That's a pretty good list. If you're going to build the original eta motor I would suggest doing the i head swap. There is tons of info on the forum about it if you search. The other option sticking with the m20 is going turbo, and there again is tons of info about that on here as well.

Almost everyone here has put a lot of work into their cars, but if you want a comparison these guys are local to you and have some of the cleanest cars around.

318aye,
That sounds good. I am near Wake Med hospital. You?

Hi Matthugie,
I have done both. When I bought the car it was not in running condition, it originally had a '84 325E engine in it but I installed a '87 325I engine which required me to have to rewire the fuse box. I have lowered the car and replaced all of the suspension parts, installed angel eye headlights changed out the tail lights. I also did a bumper tuck. As for the '84 engine I plan to rebuild it but not to stock specs. I have done all of this and a few other things and am looking to compare and maybe get additional thoughts and ideas.

Fruetie, where abouts are you? I'll go get a milkshake or something if you'd like.

Hello, I have a E30 that I have had for almost a year now. I have done a lot of work to it and would like to compare what I have done to what you have done. I live in Raliegh, NC. Is anyone interested?

Fixing work or modification work? Post specs
