Sorry man on offense. I didn't think he was going to send me the funds and then all the sudden I had them! He did ask for it the night before you did though.

I still have some other stuff FS! I'll give you dibs.

mhoward1: thnx for the MOD work...I will post a full detailed list of parts with prices & pics in the proper section ASAP...Thnx Again!

BTW: Didn't I see you on the NASA forum looking for a race car also??? And selling some stuff to raise funds? Small world!

Again, sorry folks for the mess that I have made and "thnx for lookin"

yep, that's me. CHanging Classes. You can also see my "Help me find my next race car" thread in other Vehicles here about the reward I have posted.

Any technical/mechanical/build quality issues that prevented you from buying this car???

I have not paid for it yet...still kicking tires/negotiating/poor mouthing/etc!

It comes with really nice "extras".

Instead I'm going with a Spec E30 with trailer out of SC for around the same price. I'm going the same route as you and I'm also getting a truck out of the deal.

If you want the part list for that car, I got it from the NASA SE director (who built it).

No, I liked the extras, the car needs some stuff changed out to run Spec 3 and I'm looking to spend on as little as possible on changes.

I really like e30's (as does my wife!) and the car I'm getting is fully built for the class. I wish it came with the same stuff as your car!

Nothing mechanically wrong with it, I was close to getting it. The e30 was just what I wanted.

there are a few really nice cars for sale right now, including a mint Panoz WC GTS with trailer and a 97 national Champion SRF. But I am trying really hard to stick to my game plan because I think I will be happier with it in the long run.

so what is your game plan???


Laze1.....props to you on the decision to go with a dedicated w2w car. I made the switch about a year ago and have been thankful ever since! I funded the project with a massive part out. It always amazes me how fast things sell on this site. so do you have your comp license for NASA or SCCA?

We had a slight engine malfunction early this year but are now getting it back together. Will we be seeing you at any races this year or will this be a "get to know the car" year?

The current plan has me going thru Comp School with NASA-SE @ Road Atlanta in Aug. I have done 3x TTB events to date a did ok, never last...but never 1st either I have about 30 HPDE events completed since 2005. So it is time to move up or get out!

After I shake-down the car at a DE event or 2, I will Run TT until I get the Comp License then maybe run some Enduros for the rest of the year. I Am considering a partner with the car, so Enduros would allow us both to run the same weekends.

I hope to see you guys at a NASA-SE event soon!

Did you end up buying the BMW? We have a 95 E36 M3 race car for sale. I need to post it up on some forums as we haven't been trying too hard to sell it.
