        Thank you, I really appreciate these comments. I've put a lot of money into this thing and I'm trying to keep clean. Sometimes when you look at something for so long its hard to see it with someone else eyes. I'm glad its still appeasing to others.

        I dont really have a want to goto the track ( its not at the top of the list right now ), besides I'll probably blow the axles if I do. We are going to knock the boost down most likely because the tuner is thinking I'm probably 900-1000 flywheel hp right now, we currently are using a 14# pulley. Maybe after I get the axles and proper tires that can handle how much low end power I am going to be putting out.

        IF you read the post, that is the path I am heading down, widening the stock rims for 305/315 drag radials. For track I'll probably get some S71 welds.

          • I line itemed everything I could think of today, and of course I spent way more fucking money than I wanted or probably should have. We're also not done yet. So far with paint included I am at $46,323.77, this does not include labor to install the transmission or tuning it. Please update the 35k tag to reflect stupid decisions.

                Probably another $1000 in labor I would assume for the transmission, not sure on the tune costs yet.

                I still need stronger axles and some wheels/tires, but that shit can fucking wait.

                          • So you could have new 3-series that remains stock, and depreciates like a rock, or a car that's uniquely yours, and loads more fun to drive. They will both be worth dick in 20 years anyway.
