        Not bothered by the engine. But those badges are fucking hideous. At the VERY least, lose the "BMW" badge. And really, lose the 4G63 badge too.

                  I like your setup and I like how much space you have around that engine.
                  No the Mighty Max trans has been used in the past but is not capable of handling the power we are looking to make. The gear box we are using is a 6 speed Tremec T56 the same trans you would find in a LS1, LT1, Dodge Viper, GTO ect.
                  We the two useing a prototype bell housing that may be in production in the near future if anyone wants info on the bell housing please contact me and I will put you in touch with the right people.

                      now I know how to Multi quote LOL

                      I didnt realize I was that popular, your form Miami? Yes I have ran at Seekonk multiple time Last year I won the Enduro Drags with a Lexus ES300 man that car was fast LOL. I may bring the E30 for spectator drags depends on how it feels with this setup.

                      My intentions for this car was to build a reliable fast street car that can be driven on the weekends and also drag raced on street nights at New England Dragway. My current car does not allow me to participate in any fun stuff like GTG's, car meets, street nights, So I built this to get back to the basics you know when cars where fun! I do not regret building a dedicated race car but it gets to the point where its all about who has the most $ and I feel that I wasnt getting enough use out of the race car to justify spending any more money on it so here I am. The race car will stay at idle for now and now its time for a less stressful toy.

                        Pretty cool, looks like it fits in there pretty easily.

                        You're not too far away either, maybe I'll get to see it in person one day.

                            Nice...had a 95 GST, then 92 TsiAWD(6-bolt, 4-bolt LSD rear), then a 90 GST. I miss them all the time, but I hated fixing little bullshit all the time.
