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. |

Race cars, boats, and aircraft.
Things with reasonable (or low) acquisition costs, but very high upkeep costs. How do you have a small fortune in racing? Start with a really big fortune. Having roadraced powerful cars (well over 1hp/10lb) and very weak cars, I can say the fun is in the competitiveness. If there are a bunch of you all within a few tenths on laptimes it is much more fun that just going fast. My opinion, of course. Costas cars and such... |
