    Shorter M50?

    No, but another relocated firewall. I wonder if the difference in balance is really worth all the work to get the motor back that far.

          What's the reason for having it sit that far back?

              I really hope he didn't do all that work just to drop in a M50.

              What a nightmare valve cover gasket replacements will be.

                    Wonder if you could pull off a unmodified S54 dual sump pan with these shenanigans.

                        Exactly.. I love it when people say "autocross car" but it's not even done right to any particular classing rules.

                        Clapped out rusty e30 .... loll

                          that was my first thought as well. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't even have a cage and still has the sport seat. Maybe this was just a personal HPDE/track day car.

                          I like his SWEET bent shifter as well. I'm sure that is much better than an AKG shifter

                            I like how people think swapping in a stock E36 base model motor into a rusty, peice of shit E30 shell, and stripping anything that makes it street legal/useable, turns it into a "race car".
