          The OEM one isn't carbon fibre or as curved and swept as that.

              Valve cover will be repainted to Evo white with Motorsport stripes, strut bar will be painted white and the engine compartment will be cleaned up a bit, like I said, stay tunned to see what it will look like when finished.

              Airbox came from one of the instructors of the NY Chapter BMW CCA, it's the exact copy of the PTG airbox, basically it will only work with the AlphaN system and speacially programmed DME (which is also a copy of the PTG race DME), motor should be able to safely rev up to 8300 RPM (with the lighweight flywheel it will feel like a bike) :)

              Thanks for all the good words !

              few pics of how it looked during the restoration:

                      no, I am running AlphaN with Carbon Fiber airbox, PTG programmed DME, Schirck cams, lighweight flywheel, ported/polished head, titanium hardware, etc..

                        Amazing, You have to get some video footage of the car on the track when it's done.

                              All that money to build a "DTM" car, and then you go stick an e36 derived engine in it instead of a proper S14?

                                He had a s14 in it but removed it because he wasn't able to keep up with some of the newer cars on the track (porsche's...and some other cars)
