    anyways for anyone that cares to know. It seems the S50 is out if all goes well this weekend with the sale. Decided that if im going to build my dream car then im going to do it all the way. E30 is my favorite car body ever made, but bmw doesnt make my favorite engine. Forthat I have to look further east. No details for now, but its going to shit on everything.
    This gets me excited.....Our mindset is freakishly similar......

          Cool project. Whats a 100% weight reduction? Did you use magic to get the car to float? If so what spell did you use?

                  Childs play? Really? I mean, except for a dual aircraft turbine build, you have really put up some heavy expectations to try and knock down.

                    I wasnt saying what evrryone else has done.is childs play im saying what i have done so far is in comparison to what im starting.on next. I dont claim to be building.anything better than anyone else. I love all the crazy stuff on this sight. Im just saying i havent seen specifically what im doing on here.

                                OK so some people arent going to like but o well. The engine I am going to be doing is going to be a 2jzGTE single with r154 5 speed swap. but im thinking of cutting up the firewall and mounting it behind the front subframe for optimal weight dist. car will run the twins for a little while I save for the single. but in the mean time I can get it running and all mocked up. The power goals are around 600, spooling at under 3500. while keeping weight under 2400. and distribution 50/50
