      The m40 manual/auto gearbox crossmember/brace, will not work with any m30 transmission.

      Keep up the good work.

            Also, keep your electrical harness covers on the firewall, they look sex:

                  This thing is going to fucking fly. Looks great. How are you getting it engineered in the nanny state?

                    Torque to ARP specs and make sure you retorque after heat cycling as per ARP instructions

                          What are you doing with the pedal box? have you talked to an engineer at all? Not that I disapprove of your fuck the law attitude, but I think you are heading for trouble when it comes to getting this thing on the road.

                          My advice....if met with resistance. Fuck 'em and cage it. Will be a beautifully lead tipped arrow on the circuit and make for hilarious corner entry followed by bellows of smoke and sideways action on corner exit.
