we run koni adjustables in our pro7 plus batmobile as our class is sponored by them also. they work very well and are very flexible between tracks and alot of guys in series 4 cars actually run no sway bar at taupo as it improves the way they handle but i guess its up to the individual driver. stocks do a great deal on shocks and springs for racers.

andrew, as to your comment on suspension i think you will find 99% of race cars run adjustable shocks, if you stick with one shock where dampening and ride height is not adjustable the car will behave badly on any track. to gain handling advantage an adjustable shock is required for rebound etc that can be altered for each individual track, and alot of the guys also change spring rate and ride height. i know from experience that ALOT of fine tuning is required to get a suspension setup right.

no worries, ill get a motor thats legal and use my shell.

i have the whole car.. m10 85 318i.

i filled up an X5 4.4L V8 from work, $134.00 and it wasnt completely empty!! crazy!

i have an m10 sitting in my shed.

im involved in mazda pro7 racing, one of the series 6 batmobile cars to be exact, this is a one make class which is awesome to be involved with, with cars being sold for $8,000 for a reasonable series one car to $25,000 for a series 4 car and $35,000+ for a series 6 car, we have developed our car from a road car imported from japan in 2003, to start with it was a 13B twin turbo which we pulled down and removed the turbo system and went with rx8 high comp rotors, a link computer, a roll cage and koni suspension.. it was a good start as it was the first pro7+ bat.. from there the car has developed hugely proving ultra reliable and does very good lap times a pukekohe taupo and manfield.. obviously money is required to go fast and be competitive, but people who do not spend loads of money in the class have a great time and enjoy racing, others who spend large amounts of money are proving it with lap times.. so really it depends what you want out of racing.. i think the e30 class should be awesome value for money and will develop similair to pro7s.. which would be great.

does anybody know where to get a set of legal clear indicators, front side and back for 2000 model e46 sedan. and how much., cheers.

motorsport NZ were concidering creating a class for e30s.. not sure what happened with it but if they get it going this would be a great base car to start from, i know if they do start it my car will be one of the first entered!!

i know a guy in hamilton who has repaired quite a few z3s with similar damgage and has had them back on the road, only advantage to him was he has a car bench chassis machine and probably NZs largest range of BMW parts, but i know its possible as ive seen it done, if you can do most of the work yourself then it could just be worth it depending on mielage etc and what the cars worth.. would be around $20-25,000.

man thats wicked, are youre new lights legal as in do they have all the dot markings etc? as i was looking at getting some for my car but id want to know if they were warrantable.

"130MPH" loooked pretty cool on a genuine e28 motorsport lowered on 19s..
