Greetings everyone. This is my first post here, and I'd like to introduce myself and also ask a few questions. I'm Chris, and I'm somewhat new to the E30 and BMW in general. Honda and Acura have been my main interests (I've been a member of Honda-Tech.com for the past 3 years, and owned both a '99 Civic Si and a '00 Integra Type R), so it's slightly intimidating and exciting to be "starting over" with a new marque.
The E30 M3 has captured my attention, and I've recently been doing as much research as I can on it, including reading over most of the threads archived here. Now for a few questions...
First, a quick search on Honda-Tech will provided a decent searcher with a basic list of the best, the most effective, and the most common modifications for the Integra Type R (ITR). I'm very familar with all of these products and the roles they play. However, I've searched thoroughly and haven't been able to find similar information relating to the M3. Can anyone suggest some such modifications?
Secondly, while the ITR is not intended to be a drag car, 1/4 mile times are a decent way to compare a car's "brute power" level. It's relatively cheap to build a high 13 sec. Integra, and a mid to low 12 sec. car is simply more expensive but still easily attained as well. For my own comparison and information, what sort of numbers can be expected with moderate modifications on an E30?
I will undoubtedly have more questions and hopefully be able to participate more on this forum once I become more knowledgeable.
Thank you in advance.
