The Beemer should be fun! What's the website of the race series?
Lot's of really nicely prepared westies and caterhams out and about....some really expensively built machines! I take it you're going to build one of those up during the year?
BTW: Did my ARDS test last weekend so will have a race license next season and hoping to do 1 or 2 arrive and drive events. Looking at the MX5 series or MR2 series. Do you know anyone who hires out the Beemers?

That's the plan, how long it takes depends on what I start with, lot's of research to do.
Excellent, sounds like a good way to get started. I did look into hiring one a while ago and found someone. I'll see if I can dig out a link.

Spec from the ad:
It's not got coilovers at the rear but I'll see how quick it is/isn't before I start throwing money at it. It's inevitable to a point but it's not really the idea.
The good thing is we've got another car for direct comparisons
I think the lights are still there and it's just tape or paint.
Not too sure about power either but I believe it's somewhere in the region of 120bhp

[QUOTE=ge2,Nov 28 2009, 05:03 PM] I mentioned on another thread that my brother had bought himself his wife a PBMW 320i race car to play with.
For those not in the know, PBMW is a series for almost standard BMW E30 320s and 318s, very strictly controlled and the grids are huge.
Last weekend I went to look at a 320 and bought it
