The E30 is no longer powered by a the factory 1.8 L M10B18 inline-four. It is now powered by a 2.5 L M20B25 inline-six making around 170 hp (125 kW) and 164 lb-ft (222 Nm) of torque. The factory transmission was also swapped for a Getrag 260 five-speed manual transmission. Watch Kimball Racing race on Thunderbolt Raceway in a point-by passing track event.
