| First of all let me clear something up. I never said i was going to turbo my 330ci in order to race it. LitewaitM3 said that the way i was prepping my car, i would need an S52 to be competative. I asked why i couldn't just turbo my 330 motor as opposed to the s52, if power was an issue? I thought it was pretty clear and in good english so that i could be easily understood and not misinterpreted. As far as me being able to turbo my 330, my shop has been doing one off turbo kits since the early 90's, in case my knowledge on this matter is being questioned. My websites are undergoing updates, so parts of the gallery and links are not working, i apologize for this inconvenience, but as you can see, i'm not bullshitting about my line of work or my abilities. The eurotuner site works just fine, i'm sure you are computer savvy enough to find the vehicles we worked on, after all they were on the cover for those months so they shouldn't be hard to find. If you're still having problems and are still in doubt, send me money and i'll send you the back issues. I should have my wera amature race license for motorcycles relatively soon, i can scan it and post that for you if your still doubting that i ride motorcycles. By the way, i'm still waiting for you to post anything remotely resembeling any form of credential as to why you are an authority on this subject!

| litewait is correct. It sounds like you are building a car to build a car. If you are serious about racing it, you would take different steps.

| What that i have posted says i want to build a blinging show car? Why does the fact that i want a wider track make what i want to build not a race car? Last i checked the Flossman kit gives the M3's a wider track, and is used in Europe by several race teams. Are they also building blinging show cars? Are you telling me there are no advantages in racing by having a wider track or wheel base? From experience i've learned that you eighther do it right the first time or don't do it at all. It makes no sense to do graphics and paint a car, just to repaint it later cause i didn't do what i wanted the first time. Also i don't want to buy 2 sets of wheels because with a wider track the off-set will be different therefore if i build it one way now, i would have to change the rims later. As you can see this will cost me more money. I intend to spend money on the car but not on buying the same thing twice. This wouldn't be very cost effective. It's like saying, i could race the car with my stock seat and a harness just fine, so why should i buy a racing seat?, or like saying my car stops just fine with stock brakes so there is no need to upgrade my brakes. My point is there are different mods for different advantages on the track. Wouldn't you agree.

| Thanks for the above link! Do you know if the e46 M3 body parts sold above will fit a e46 330ci? That is exactly what i'm looking for. In answer to litewaitM3 i'm building the car for the purpose of wheel to wheel racing. As i mentioned earlier i haven't decided on a class yet because the SCCA rule book has many restrictions on classes and what can be carried over from one class to the next. As i mentioned earlier when i used to import drag race, if the NHRA rule book said you needed a 4 point cage and you had a 6 point cage, they would still let you compete. The SCCA doesn't allow for that. This is the reason why it's taking so long to pick a class. I'm interested in the european car class Dado had mentioned that was going to start up elsewhere on the DTMracing site. As i understood it, the class was going to be sanctioned by another race body not the SCCA. I'm interested in doing the same as he did with the car, although i probably won't turbo it right away. I understand that you guys are skeptical and it sounds like i'm over building the car before i need to, but i really don't want to work twice.
