H&R race springs...cheap enough and good enough to improve your autoX experience. And still very livable as a daily.

Curious about your classing. When I first looked there seemed to be 2 missing cars from the classifications in SCCA rules and the 318is was one of them. I think in all my searching and questions I ended up in DSP.

i got some stock rear sway bushings for a late model e30

Those have any advantage over upgrade bushings?

Interested in a stainless cat back sprint exhaust?

Maybe. Send me or PM more details. I'll look for some clips.

Bump again. Looking for sway bars, shocks, (suspension bits) probably that rack ^, ... rear diff/gears...

I have strut tower bar for another E30 I'm assuming 325 as it won't clear my intake. So I have one to sell/trade and need one for 318is.

Are these the needed upgrades for the Mark D chip? If so I might be interested, as I still need a chip.

That's about half of them.

I think I go back to 1991. Gonna build a library in my garage.

Right now I've got H&R race springs and HP+ pads and Brembo rotors all around and it's a blast to drive really. But I'm afraid I'll never have the power to get what I want out of this car unless I do a serious swap or chance a turbo upgrade.

and my $750 BMW...:lol:

This Spring I'm looking for an Exige more than likely. Love my little car but I need something with a bit more power...coming from a CTS-V, M5, and daily drive a Jeep SRT8.

The black Viper with silver stripes was my good friend Luke. He was there 2 weeks in a row. :lol:

I had a couple buddies with me, GT-R, GT3 RS, TT RS, Viper, Z06, ... I couldn't stay on the same lap with them on the straights. Through the curves however...

Awesome! I think I may still have that issue. I'll have to do some digging after the move.

Was on the track at Mid-Ohio last weekend and had a blast. That little car is amazing with minimal suspension mods. However, the lack of power is joy killing. I think I've decided to go the Lotus Exige route this spring so most likely the 318 will be for sale.

I was afraid of that. Mine is in such good condition I hate to strip it really. I might sell it and just look for an already setup 325...

If I'm breaking it down to the piston's I'm not wasting my time putting it back together. I can do a swap probably cheaper and faster.

Before I seriously consider a swap, what's the max the M42 can safely handle and what do I have to do to get there? I hear they are not very boost friendly. So new head, cam, .... that about it?
