Re: tail happy in wet
An m30 engined e30 with budget tyres on in the wet with a 3.73 LSD fitted, now that is a handfull, rear tyres spinning up in 3rd without even trying :eek: Those shitty tyres didn't stay on the car for long!

Re: 318is
then you're best starting from the ground up, rather than finding you have to replace or find that things you buy now, will be unsuitable in the future.. Adjustable beam, possible coilover setup etc.

the gutter trim most people will have, but the 'ears' around the c pillar (if that's what you mean) have chrome sections attached to the plastic trim which is colour coded, plus the coupe and 4 door ears are different shapes..

Re: 318is
depends what tire sizes you're going with, but 3.91 will be a better option on track, maybe 3.73, you can change the gearbox for the later e36 type and that will allow you to run 3.15 diffs etc you can go mental with tuning the m42, charge it, simple stuff, just depends which direction you feel you ...

@ the OP - a lot of this will be down to the fact it's just a very long steering ratio, but the e30 should really feel taught and pointy.. Like Pete says, have someone who knows what it should be like, look at it first. A lot of things can contribute to steering issues, but 'lame' steering could be ...
