Quote:Here is a great project car for someone looking for an inexpensive way to get on track for HPDE's or to autox. The big ticket items have already been completed, and a lot of work has gone into the car. This is not an eligible model E30 for Spec E30, but a great HPDE car (good handling, lower powered, RWD).

As with many projects, this unfortunately was never completed. The good side to this is that it never made it to the track. All of the parts are basically brand new without wear (besides a few miles on the street). It has been sitting for about 4 years, but was moved around occasionally. It is currently in a barn at my parent's place in Powhatan, VA. I recently swapped 2 of the wheels with tires that would hold air pressure so it can be moved. I have not started it recently, as I feel it would better to take the time to properly do some fluid changes before starting. It will run perfectly fine; it just needs some attention, an alignment, and then needs to be driven.


Features:

51,603 original miles!
Painted flat black
Welded in roll bar
Stripped interior and trunk, removal of air conditioning components and power steering
Interior and roll bar painted black
Sunroof delete and panel welded in place
Sparco circuit driver's seat with sliding adapter and mounting bracket
Sabelt racer passenger seat with fixed mounting bracket
Spec E30 race suspension: H&R race springs, Bilstein sport shocks
Powerflex control arm bushings
Rogue engineering rear shock mounts
Carbotech front Panther Plus pads, Axxis Ultimate rear pads
Stainless steel brake lines
Lug stud to wheel stud conversion
ÔÇ£WinkÔÇØ rear view mirror
New exhaust muffler
Maintenance items completed: timing belt, water pump, alternator belt, distributor/wires/plugs, all new brake rotors, brake fluid flush with ATE superblue, air filter, intake boot, oil pressure switch, fuel filter, new battery

Fluids changed: oil, coolant, transmission and differential (redline products)


Immediate needs:

Alignment
Tires
Floor pan under the battery in the trunk is rusted- simply need to cut this out and weld in a new section
Harnesses for the seats (if it were to be tracked)
Hood release cable
Coolant sending unit (have one, included with car) I believe needs replacement- gauge was not working


I have the maintenance records for the work my friend and I completed on this and lots of current pictures that can be emailed. I have a couple of boxes of random parts, an extra rear bumper, and some other things that will be included based on the sale price.

Price is $3,500. Located in Powhatan, VA. This will need to be trailered. I have a trailer and can transport it for an additional fee based on your location.

Someone correct me if I'm way wrong here -- but I think it might be better to just grab some expired 5/6pt harness instead and use those.

ps. Buy DJ's spare LS1, you know you want to! :twisted:

ispoonwithmugen Wrote:That's good to know then. I'll look into buying another expired 5 point for the passenger. I need to get a new battery and the rust cut out and welding a plate in. As for the harnesses, what's the best way to mount them? Weld something in to hold the ends or something? I also just changed out the coolant temp thing, pretty easy after I snapped off the old broken connector, haha.

As an instructor, I wouldnt get in a car with the driver having 5 poitns and me having 4 points. I would rather be in a stock seat belt at that point. I have 5 points currently, but will be switching to 6 points as my harnesses expire at the end of the year (same with my nets).
