325 Classic Touring Car rebuild.

I think class c kumho seems ok, 185 hp per tonne is doable with an m20 2.8 I'd have thought, are the e36 cars heavier than an e30?

As an aside I was at silverstone AMOC meeting a few weeks ago and there were a couple of very very fast DB5 s when I looked at them they were running coil packs and a crank sensor and roller cams. Oh And low profile tyres. Surely this misses the point of historic racing? ( One of these DB5s could happily outdrag a V12 458 Ferrari on the start finish straight)

Yeah the E36 are a good chunk heavier than the E30 but needless to say that's because they're bigger. If you have a 'local track' and Kumho visit there it's worth while going for a nose around and see what the driving standards are like etc get an idea for it. Can be utter carnage haha.

Agree with rix, the Kumho can be a money pit, both in terms of the cash some will spend to be fastest, and also driving standards, which were, when I last marshalled at one of their races - how shall I put this? - variable. However that could be said of many championships / series, so I don't think it's fair to tar only Kumho with that particular brush.
The way to maximise the price of your car when you sell is to get it out on track so you can justifiably advertise it as ready to go (with scrutineers labels to prove) and with a driving god such as yourself at the wheel , it's bound to be 'in the mix' to show it's potential. Seriously though, I can't see £4k being a problem, as long as the car is raceable in some series or another (see my earlier post).
