            well look at the demographic, more like a fashion show than anything.
            Youll get more feedback on shiny bbs and a painted shadowline, than you will on one-off never been done projects like this one.

            fwiw we have s52 swaps and shiny bbs going on in the shop also, but who wants to see that- its already been done 10,xxxx times.

              Whats up Jay? I just wanted to swing in and say Hi. I chatted with you a bit on challenge Sunday at the drag staging area, just as you were getting ready to fire it up and go load it on the trailer. The car looked really badass with all of the custom fabrication and "weathered" appearance. I love it and good luck on the project.

              btw, you got a link for the Sebring track event you were talking about that day?

                Hello! Would you be able to get a few detail shots of the rear subframe mounting area? I'm curious to see how much it changes from the stock '02 one...

                  Hey whatsup Andy, I remember you. Thanks man. Go on the NASA website, and look in the Florida section. You can sign up there. Hope to see you there!

                  Hello! Would you be able to get a few detail shots of the rear subframe mounting area? I'm curious to see how much it changes from the stock '02 one...
                  Instead of modifying the car to fit the subframe, we modified the subframe to fit the original 02 mounting points.Solid mounted, and boxed in. The e30 trailing arms attached didnt compromise the e30 track width, and we still used the factory 02 subframe reinforcment mounting points which was pretty cool. By doing it this way it also narrowed the track width an inch or so.

                  So the following week we went back to work. The first plan was to mount an e30 rear subframe. We discussed this thoroughly between the three...

                    Dam son! I love the work! You guys need any shop help?
                    This is making me wish I had my own garage and a spare e30 to cannibalize!
                    I really like the way you guys used the e30 front and back sub frames! Mounting solutions are great! I am going to have to copy them in the future.
                    I hate the steering box in my '02. I was going to modify the 2002 front sub frame to except a e30 rack, but if I can do some extra welding and get a e30 front sub frame on there it opens up a world of other opportunities. I could even go 5 lug with e36 brakes!
                    You guys rock! lol

                        I just wanted to share the coverage the car got in the latest grm. Showing up in my mailbox popping up on the first page was pretty cool.. And it certainly looks pretty badass in magazine print..




                        More updates coming very soon.
