Ozibimmer should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Setting Up my BMW 635CSi as a Race Car

Hi All
I am setting up one of my BMW 635CSi as a race car and I am very excited about it.Have been wanting to do this for years and now have the chance to live my dream after watching Jim Richards and the 635 during the 1985 session.
Here is a link to my Build Thread http://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=21792
and I would really appreciate any help in setting up the car.
Any links to places to purchase things for the car would be great.
Its a 1983 BMW 635CSi with high compression motor.
With just 100000 km and in very good condition.
My metal guy found a lot of rust spots around the seals so we installed a complete new floor to take out any future problems down the line.
, I think do it right the first time so that's why I have come to you guys.
I own a BMW wrecking yard so parts are available
Full roll cage goes in next week and floor complete respray to bring it back to new.
Kind regards
Addam

What class are you looking at
I would be aware of not doing anything that stops it from being acceptable to the main classes in the future, so Improved Production for circuit or Targa style for tarmac rally

Keep it to nylon bushes adjustable strut tops in the first instance then you can look at things like correcting the camber increase on the rear with squat and front bump steer.
Decent anti roll is important. Hope the cage is a good weld in one
