can i just say what a brilliant little car an e21 is!

perfect to chuck around a drifting track! handles great!
has lovely mid-range grunt out of the 6cyl.
didnt even get anywhere near halfway on the temp guage.
no solex related problems either to my surprise!

had couple of car dinting moments with cones. also on the last run of the day after getting a little excited, drifted very wide and there was a course marker tyre (lorry tyre

) went under the rear valance and took the back box clean off!

will post some pics and vids etc up when ive got them off my mates camera.

the ones ive got ill try and post up tomorrow.
