After participating in two HPDE's with my '96 Nissan Maxima and competing the local autox's for a year and a half I decided I needed a dedicated vehicle. 
I wasn't willing to risk my new daily driver on a road course, so I began my search for a track vehicle that I willing to put through the wear and tear of track days and autox and wouldn't be devistated if I happen to make a mistake and put it into a wall. My requirements for a vehicle were RWD, manual, 4-cyl turbo or 6 cylinder engine and preferably unique. First thoughts were 944 Turbo S or 280Z Turbo, I then came to realize that the Porsche would blow my budget in maintenance costs and the Datsun would be too difficult to find one in good shape and had limited aftermarket. So with the recommendation of the fellow racers I decided I was on a mission to find an e30 325is. After searching the want ads for a couple months and ebay I found what appeared to be an '87 325is in good shape in near by Massachusetts. I ended up buying it and am currently in the process of getting it in shape for a full season of track days and autox in 2008.
