                    You'll never look back. A mildly setup e30 is loads of fun at the track. Add a 24v motor and you can be quite fast.

                              Thanks. I thought it beat some cheesy music and makes a simple video kinda cool.

                              Do it! It's money you'll never regret spending. Everytime I raise the car up with 1 finger to work under the car--I just smile. Even basic oil changes without laying on the ground are so much better.
