Right on, thanks for the info. And for making me feel a little less crazy for looking into doing this (always nice to know someone else is just as crazy as you are, HAHAHAH). I think I might have found a 325i sedan, only problem with it is it has a sunroof, which I would have to weld closed to race....Opinions?

 

You wouldn't need to weld a sunroof closed for autoX or rallyX or HPDE or TT, only when you went roadracing - and it can be done without welding. You could use the stock panel with flatbar brackets... or you could cut a sheetmetal panel to cover the entire opening, pop-rivet it into place, and seal it with silicone (or even bathtub caulking) from the inside. Although tack-welding either of those choices into place would certainly be easier and quicker.

Speaking of E30's, I drove the national Spec E30 champion's new '90 325i daily driver the other night and had almost forgotten how much fun those cars are. ;-)

Thanks for the info. I was just told by another friend who does Spec class style racing that welding the sunroof closed was a pain. Second hand info...

 

LOL no prob. I mean it's not a 5 minute job or anything, but I don't see how it could be described as a "pain" on an E30. Then again I think replacing a clutch is a "pain" and others can do it in 90 minutes flat with their eyes closed. YMMV.

Right on, hard is dependent on the person. Some people think changing oil is hard...I just wasn't sure exactly what means of "securing" the sunroof where sufficient to meet the rules. Oh well, being able to actually compete is a couple seasons off, no need to get the cart before the horse, I need a car first...HAHAHA

 

Dude I really want to see someoen rally a MR2. It'd be like a Group B machine.

 

That would be a hell of an interesting rally car. I have seen an old Volvo box sedan and a truck rallied, but never an MR2, what year are you thinking?

 

there is a guy with an OLD VW karmann Ghia that attends the orange county rally-x events and races at MIR.

 

Any would be really cool. The AW11 and ZZW30 would have lightness as an advantage, but a SW20 with fairly big power was what I was thinking.
