No Chet OR Ed York...can someone point out any other full-tilt E36's other than Stepp? I am sure they are out there, just want to know what ones to watch...

Irish Mike's car will be fast...I hope not too fast...I have no idea how that car got classified...

The car is only rated at 185hp stock and providing no funny Euro cams are installed won't be a killer. In fact, 185hp is only a couple different than the other favorite overdog here, the BMW, which is classed.

Take a look at the listing in the GCR - see anything wrong? Besides, it's the MB version of the E30 M3...

It is a DOHC motor instead of a SOHC motor. Ahhhhhhh!

So, there might be a big boo bo here. The Cosworth DOHC 190E might not actually be classed! There were 2.3L four pots that were not Cosworth headed M3 competitors. I don't know if these were SOHC motors or not, that is, the basic ones. If so, then the DOHC 2.3L high powered version is not classed.

Yep, that is it. But, hell, the GCR has a lot of errors on mine too - no four speed box listed when 95% of all delivered had four speeds, years all wrong (73-75) not 79 as JH had been out of business four years by then. No valve sizes listed and compression wrong. But, I have the right stuff in the manual and don't cheat, I'm sure Mike's is all on the up and up too.

But, that is the car and quite a performer in the day. They are good drivers I understand and pop up from time to time on Ebay fairly cheap. Almost bought one a few months back that was in Virginia for about $5k.

OK, it's time for an intervention.

Sell everything and focus on ONE thing that you can get to run and develop it!
