    These are new wheels.

    Flares and other wheels are coming this year. We just needed to address so many other things to get it usable again first.

    Be patient :D

      Did a vinyl wrap on the lower sides of the car to give it a more finished look for now. I'm not a fan of the two-tone, but the car looks way better than it did before.



      Plans are this fall/winter to pull the drivetrain out after we've done the cutting to fit the flares and then repaint the whole car, single color.

(Would like to thank my buddy Dave, for the idea. He has a Miata with a hard top that has one of these in it. Does an amazing job of helping you stay cool.) And before anyone mentions the drag it will create, remember, this is an E30. Driving one is akin to driving a brick wall. ;)
          Aaaaactually, the cd of an E30 isn't as bad as you may think... it's roughly 0.33, with the M3 being slightly better.

          As a point of reference, the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra have cds of 0.32.

          Don't hate!

            Back from the dead...

            We're taking a complete 180 here. After lots of track use, we've decided rather than go all the way to really make it a track beast and have lots of grunt... we are instead going to prep the car for another purpose.

            We love rallycross. And in a low grip environment, an M20 does nicely.

            So we are going to be reworking the car to compete in SCCA RallyCross events now.


            We'll be tearing all the track goodies off of this one (suspension, swaybar, wheels/tires, etc) selling all that off in favor of some more off-road friendly options.

                  I love the turn signals! I've been wanting to get rid of the bumper lights and that's an awesome solution, may have to steal it

                        Any idea what the weight of those wheels is? Might be interested for my track car!

                        Can't wait to see updates :)

                          No clue on weight. LMK if you're interested. I will be in KC the 2nd week of June.
