Hello forum,
I am currently running an e28 5 series in rallycross. It looks like this
I have had a huge amount of fun with it in the last few years and I am looking to upgrade to something a bit more nimble. My original plan was for a 1602/2002 and a tow vehicle. I totally forgot about the 318ti until I saw one at an autocross last weekend. I am a big fan of the semi-trailing arm rear suspension for rallycross. It is not always as fast as the miatas but it works the my brain works.
I am planning on competing in the stock rwd class. This means stock brakes, stock suspension, stock sized wheels. I can only put an LSD in the car if it was an option from the factory that year. I think that limits me to the 1995 model year. I need a car with no sunroof because I am fairly tall. I have been looking for a week or two now and have only found 1 or two candidates. How rare is a 1995, manual transmission, no sunroof car with working AC?
