Z3 ITR questions

[Z3_GoCar]

A 2.5liter, if I remember that's 168hp and 185ft-lbs, should be in the middle of ITS. You'll have to request it be classed as only the 2.8 liter is classed at this point.

Do you have a hard top? That'll add $1k - $1.5k, and you'll need it otherwise top speed and fuel mileage will suffer. Got a welder, can you align and corner balance it? Parts wise maybe $3k to $4k. The coil over kit with springs and camber plates is $2300 from TC. With the 2.5 it should do pretty well on fuel. I've got a friend that's done well in E3 with his JP Z3. He does have to drive smooth, but he's done a 3hr enduring on one stop even with the 14gallon tank.

The chassis is an e36 but varient 7. varients 5 (ti), 7 (Z3/M roady), and 8 (Z3/M coupe) all use the semi-trailing arm rear suspension, so when you go to order the coilover kit make sure to specify Z3 not just e-36 (which is the sedan/coupe, 325, 328, 323, and M3) fronts are the same rear is different. Here's the spec's on the M52TU B25 (M52 family, TU-technical update for the double vanos, and B25 for the 2.5 liter)

165hp at 5500rpm and 181ft-lbs at 3500rpm. I wanted to have this classed and had discussed this with Josh, but since I wasn't going to run it I let it go back burner.
