    OK. I will do, I have an e30 getting an alpina/H&B 327S 2.7 10.5:1 motor with conversion from l-jet to motronic 1.3, I will take it to buttonwillow and Laguna seca.

    I would prefer Laguna Seca as I know that track the best.

    What is the target specs for an e30?
    I have ran the same e36M3 at Thill, Laguna, Bwillow all with various setups (street/track tires) multiple times. 2009-2010, the e36M now is getting gutted for weapon use so is not a fair street car comparison.

    I can take the e30 out when its ready (probably within a month or 2)

    I was intending on tracking it full stock suspension + azenis 615 stock tires + track pads, only modification would be high lock LSD, and 2.7 alpina engine :) should be ~ 190hp crank without much tuning, I think it can do 190rwhp tuned.

    what should be a target 190 crank hp stock footwork e30 time on laguna seca? I have never driven an e30 there before

            Purchased the powerplant with L-jet original H&B ecu with history book locally from personal mechanic of original grey market importing owner, have the full folder and vin from the 327s H&B car. !!! Just got lucky!!!! I think only 12-15 of these complete cars were sold by H&B in 1985.

            Market Motor Works in GA sent me a complete Motronic 1.3 conversion kit - complete down to the little sensors and weird brackets and things I don't fully understand yet - I am only very familiar with modern DIS style stuff!!!

            The ETA Powerplant will come out, Alpina 2.7 high comp go in+ Motronic 1.3 conversion will all be done
            @ JRD Innovations here local (SF BAY)


            ... With some extra secret sauce additions :)

            I will continue to update the performance from BODY structure first, as I feel e30's are Noodles; Chassis strength = lower lap times :)

                        yes, I was going to ask also. R compounds?

                        m30 makes it SCOOT!
                        have you ran Laguna with the e30m30?

                        what does a prepped non caged 200rwhp e30 run at Laguna with dot-R's ?

                          No laguna seca yet. All the times are on 225/45/15 r888 except big willow that was on 205/45/15 nt01. I signed up for streets on 18th of this month and I hope to shave a couple of seconds with that new set up :)

                                just got back from streets of willow. ran the course CW.

                                my car is a 91 318is.
                                front H&R sport springs (installed by PO)
                                Mishimoto e36 Radiator
                                and phenolic intake spacer kit.
                                everything else is stock.
                                195/65/14 Kuhmos (street tires) non of that Rcomp silliness.

                                first time at SOW and second time on a track. this is the only track ive had timing for.

                                there were 5 runs first run was a lead follow (cuz ams a noob)
                                i skipped the last run since i felt my tires were pretty jacked. and i needed to get home.

                                1st run best time 1:57.339 (i consistently had 2 minute laps.)
                                2nd run best time 1:53.675
                                3rd run best time 1:51.131 (best time for the day)

                                i definitely think i couldve knocked it down to 1:50 but this is what i could do with my stock setup. hopefully will have my car setup proper next track day. i also didnt shed any weight im pretty sure that wouldve helped a bit. rear seat with headrests and spare tire are heavy
