Any advice from you guys that have already built one as to the best components to build an e30 that is not an out and out track toy but a mix of road and track?

1) Don't use a floor-mounted pedal box if you expect to spend lots of time in traffic.
2) If you are intent on using fixed buckets, keep a cushion in the car for longer journeys, unless you have some weird numb arse/pins and needles fetish.
3) If you like to keep cool in summer, don't remove the bulkhead insulation or the under-carpet insulation in the driver's footwell.
4) Keeping electric windows is a godsend. Central locking likewise.
