Aren't you the guy who's always bitching about being broke autocrossing? And you're going roadracing? And you're wanting something powerful? What's wrong with you? Mark

I think I am braindead or I killed too many brain cells in Russia. Well a "free" car pushed me over the edge. It's my friend's fault. He's liek I bought you a BMW... (yes we are nuts) in any case, my tow vehicle runs on used fryer oil, so cost of getting to events is almost 0 my co-driver for the pros is supplying many tires at no cost to me and this BMW is free for me, so the only real cost is shocks, springs, bars, brakes & tires. then I need to look carefully at BMW's contingency program I'm managing to break even autocrossing this year (or close enough to it) by being smart about which class to earn the most kumho money and having a few paying co-drivers along the way.

Chapter 11 Racing Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,166 Joined: 15-February 04 From: Houston, Republic of Texas Member No.: 207	Ok so a friend of mine is "giving" me a e30 BMW. It has some rear fender damage and a cracked rear wheel. But we need to rebuild the I6 motor, and I wwant to slap a turbo on it. But the question is are there any actual race classes for W2W racing for these things? If there is I want to stay within the rules. So any advice? Heard they made a forged crank for the diesel models and the diesel used the same block and the diesel manifold can be bolted up to it for the turbo.
