    Turbo E30 GRM Challenge Car for sale


    Hey Guys,

    I'm selling an old GRM challenge car that was used from 2006-2008. The car was set - up for autocrossing, and then was used as a driver's training car for awhile. Unfortunately one of our less attentive members drained all the oil out of the Engine, Differential, and Transmission and forgot to fill it back up again. The car was used at an autocross event and the differential seized up. The differential has since been replaced, but the transmission will most likely need to be replaced as well. We think the engine, however, is fine (It was a fresh rebuild that we had bought off craigslist).

    Engine and turbo setup:

    325i engine (bmw m20) , kkk-24 turbocharger, Volvo Greentop injectors (30 lb/hr Rating), Hockey Puck motor mounts, Volvo intercooler, Bosch recirculating valve , Audi external wastegate

    Suspension:

    Bilstein sport dampers, Cut circle track springs,Rubber bushings drilled and filled with urethane

    What's not included:

    Seats, Megasquirt unit

    I'd like to see the car go to a good home, preferably an enthusiast who'll use it in the GRM challenge,autocrossing, or a base for Spec E-30. Alot of time was spent on this car, and it was a great learning experience, but never really got its full potential shown. I'd also like to clarify that the car will not come with the mesh wheels. I'll upload some more recent photos of the car by the end of the week. Car is located in Midtown Atlanta GA.

    $1000 obo for car as described
    $500 for car shell sans drivetrain and turbo bits

    send an email to chandana.edirisinghe@gatech.edu if you are interested

    Thanks

    I talked to one of the older guys and he told me all 3 (engine/trans/diff) were run without fluids in the MRDC lot very briefly, until we broke a rocker arm. Then we replaced the engine
    with a good one, filled it with oil, and ran the other two without until the diff seized up. So, to our knowledge, this engine wasn't run without oil.

    The GT car is back up for sale.
    I am moving towards a 2002 project for the winter so the E30 needs to go to make room in the garage!
