I have some Vids to upload from the day when I get roung to it!!!

Last couple of days I have been trying to remove the sunroof cassette in preparation for the rollcage to be fitted.

Anyway the cage is in!!! Only test fitted but at least it's in

Subscribed to this thread! I also need to get rid of my sunroof cassette, and will be seeking advice... http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=204866

There's a fair bit of advice around here how to get rid of the system, needing decent tools though. I could remove the motor myself I guess...? Anyway, don't want to hijack your thread so I await with interest!

[RobCallow]

Very helpful link for removing the sunroof cassette

This is how i did mine.

Cage test fitted

Door bar looks far too low for comfort there.

I have managed to buy an e34 525i sport with a manual box think the engine may find its way into the e30!!

[Brian28]

I may be more inclined to spend on suspension, tyres and get the car a bit lighter. PBMW times at Snetterton were mid 2.20s, the 320i has 1125 race weight, no LSD, but grippy Toyos and well set up suspension. If your car is developed a bit further it should be pretty easy to get below this weight, and with the extra 325 power and LSD advantage it will be quite a brisk car. Always much more satisfying doing decent lap times on corner speeds rather than fitting a bigger engine to make decent lap times using the straights.

[RobCallow]

Tyres are next on Purchase list I have a second set of wheels to have them fitted onto.

Weight I think is is below 1125 already!! but still room to shave a bit more off

Car at the moment is very good in the corners but as you say there is a need to improve

Looking to put a 2.8 in the car really as I fancy a bit more speed on the straights but the 525 was too cheap to not buy!!
