6 speed manual
Custom "ram air" style K&N intake
Corbeau Race Seats w/Harnesses

Just bought $2300.00 and a extra engine as well (unassembled).

This car is fast, fun and HUGE bang for your buck.

I think I've instructed your dad in this car and driven it. Or maybe I gave him some rides in the pro3 car and just hung out next to him in the paddock a few times. It's all a little foggy, it must have been 5 to 7 years ago though! Very fun and fast car and your dad is a stud. Good luck with the sale!

Does this mean it's been converted to a solid rear axle? Forgive my newb-ness, but I've never heard of an IRS Ford 8.8.

I remember meeting him at the track a few years ago, this car is sweet.

As far as the rear differential goes, I am going to guess the subframe has been modified to accept a ford 8.8. some of the big power guys will do this for e36's.

[Mlarsen]

Very minimal modifications but, yeah.

And Ford did make a IRS 8.8, I think it maybe came out of an Explorer? Don't quote me on that.

Also one thing he forgot to mention, the axle which were custom made to accept ford one side and bmw on the other side. The outer joints are actually e46 m3 gtr joints which is kind of cool.

98 exploder. The fc guys love that shit

[TheDerelict]

What an awesome car. GLWS.

[Wh33lhop]

Oh wow this thing is fucking sweet.

[MacBudd541]

I always wondered what my 540i would be like if I stripped all the dead weight. These cars are quick as-is and I can believe there was a lot of weight to get rid of.

Bump!
