Default My E30 Track car/Runaround

Though i'd post some pics up of my E30 320i that I use on track days and run around in while i'm building my saff. It's a great little car and is alot of fun.

Spec:
Standard engine
4 point cage
Koni adjustable shocks
Koni springs
corbeau seats
OMP harnesses

Whole car cost me a grand to buy and kit out!

It performs well enough, it's not quick but it's great through the corners! It carries ALOT of speed through them, i've pushed 205's round track days before. No LSD i'm afraid it could certainly do with one though!

looks like a nice car considering its a track whore/runaround.
my mate has a e30 m3, similiar 4 pot to the ones in these but with 2.3litres and 200+bhp sounds and goes very well- tis a mint summer only example- i keep teasing him saying he should do some track days as its where the car belongs
