BMW 318 IS Road Rally Project

[Daishag]

Right im finally picking up a BMW to have a crack at Bargain Basement Road rally Car at the weekend !!!! The idea is to keep my other car a Vauxhall Chevette 2.0 XE which is RACMSA Logbooked, get rid of the "S" reg Mondeo TD i have as a daily run about (i only go 3 miles towork) and use this E30 318is as a daily runner and put a cage in it and do the odd 12 car the odd night nav the odd night rally and the odd Gmkhana etc so it should be a very busy little bus LOL !!!!!!!!

Right what i want to know is any tech advice relating to the E30 318is, ie any cheap fix's to uprate front brakes, suspension etc She has a limo in her but its set pretty low, are they a gel type viscous limo and if so can they be uprated to give a stronger lock out etc ive beentold they are set around 25% as std ???? and also what lower CWP are available from other models that will fit straight into the E30 diff (hopefully around a 4.4 ratio). What engine mods are good to do ie tubular manifold's, uprated ecu, fuel pressure regs etc or just bin the engine and put an GM C20XE in her ???? The car is totally std at the mo but in generally good condition etc the car is costing me £700 and is T&T and i have a budget of total £2000 so if any knows or has any 2nd hand parts knocking around especially a cage (i know thats hoping) LOL, any help, advice and parts etc will be gratefully recieved !!!!!

Hey Dai, seen what you can do with a C20XE, get one of them in, and then give me your old engine for free to go in my 318 compact that you will have seen at the gynkhanas and JD Romain a few years ago. As for modding the diff, give me a ring and I'll go through it with you some time, need an atlas kit for it and some machining.
