Stx?

[Hunter]

So after talking with some people I am thinking STX might be a fun option for the E30, but before I start writing checks I thought I would see what yall think. Can this car be competive?

Win Nationals? Never. Fun in STX, sure!

Well the same can be said for my driving, but as far as the car goes you just dont think it can be done?

To lillte power, to much weight, not so good rear syspension, super allsome body kit (ok so that only may only apply to mine) ?

All of the above. E36 is way better, WRX is better still.

Re: Stx?

Out of curiosity (cause I know this has been hashed out on other forums, too), but has anyone truly fully prepped an E30 for STX and essentially proven it's lack of competitiveness? If so, is there an estimation of just how uncompetitive it was, i.e. a full second on a 60 second course?

It may all be moot since the boost buggies can (1) cheat easily and (2) put down power at Heartland Park, though no one else can. :\

Brian Fitzpatrick in an E30 M3, but I don't know any non M ones. We run at Heartland Park not Forbes. Man, where have you been??

Re: Stx?

Well, yeah, I know of Brian in the M3. I'm talking about 325's. Oh, and yeah, that was a typo about Forbes. D'oh!

When the winning STX WRX would have trophied high in STU, me thinks until the turbo cars are kicked from the lower ST classes, I wouldn't bother. Sucks

In a perfect world, E36 M3s would go to STX and all E30s(sans M3) put in STS.

Re: Stx?

Actually. I think STU AWD cars should be limited to 225 tires and STX AWD cars to 205 tires. That should fix things.

I agree.

Fat chance of that happening.

Sad, but true. :\

Re: Stx?

I don't mind the 245 tires.... as long as they limit the wheel width to 8.5"

Re: Stx?

Write to the SEB. On the last STAC call, this kind of stuff was on the agenda. (E36 M3 in STX, 225's for AWD in STX, 265's and 9" wheels for 2WD in STX) I'm no longer a STAC member, so I don't know what happened.

P.S. I know the SEB email logging system is massively broken (keep sending until you get a response), but in two years on the STAC, I don't remember seeing a single letter from anyone that frequents this forum.
