RALLY|SPEC: Cutting my teeth in grassroots motorsports with an E30

[C-Hutch]

Yeah. Imperfections are key. Because then you don't feel as bad messing it up. My car had a salvage title because it had been rear ended even though the guy before me had painted it 3 months prior.

Also, you might not know me since I'm the unspoken one but I'm friends with Miller, Stuart, Andrew and the gang up here in MD. Was actually helping Stuart get Sylvia's old mini ready for inspection last night.

I bet you're one of the guys who came up in conversation over xbox haha. they mentioned they had friends who do rallycross

Great write up!

At least the old lady does what she was intended to!

Thanks! and that's still a loose description of what the car does but I'll take it haha. It isn't starting again, the battery is draining for some reason, and I have yet to fix the idle issue

Dude hell yeah! So stoked on this thing. It's got just enough imperfections that I'm not gonna be super heartbroken to tear it up.

Hey! This isn't a stance build! Haha. But glad to see more people getting into rallying since its so cheap and tons of fun and you can get into it with pretty much any car. I've been rallying with my E30 for 2 years and daily driving it and havent had any major problems. Redid the suspensions and some engine components as well as seats and steering wheel, but as a stock E30 it is such a blast to just go and beat on!

Anyway, good luck with the build and here is some motivation.

I had an e36, my first bmw, and after a welded diff, cut springs, and a stripped interior it was my daily driver and rally car. every day for months I would beat the hell out of it in my best friends 140 aches worth of trails. to this day it is the most fun I've ever had in a car and I can't wait to do it again. Not a damn thing broke on the car ever.

dude 140 acres? I'm very jealous. Can't wait to start ripping on this thing.

Thanks everybody! I've got more to tell and more photos and progress to post, just gotta host everything and take the time to write it down and whatnot. Might get interesting next week.
