        Those look nice. Wheels make or break the appearance of a car.

          damn that bumper looks good now that it's mounted, and I like the evolution of your wheels.

          good shit.

                  If you dont care about being street legal (which it doesnt seem that way) have you considered an aluminum block 24v? A friend down here is trying to sell an aluminum M52TU for pretty cheap with low miles. A M54B30 would also be a good choice. Aluminum block, torque monster... just saying.

                        Plus one on the aluminum motor, however I would go with the Aluminum M52, the M52 is a much more track friendly motor than the M54.

                            I love this build. Functional and very aggressive.

                                Loving the thread. Digging the aero, the bumper you chose hit me like a left hook and the execution was a kick while I was down. Car looks incredible. The cutouts in the front fenders are so cool!

                                I want more track pics!
