EXACTLY!! Considering the fact that it's difficult to keep that *** under control................THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!

I personally wouldn't subject my car to such stress, but at least now those dam ricers can see that we can do it better, just don't want to.

It sure was a bit complicated. The main thing was the weight transfer and getting hard on the brakes to transfer weight to the front end so it would turn. You can probably notice the nose dive on every change of direction. Other then that it felt pretty damn good. Lots of torque!!

Yeah, definite work out. Nothing like the weight distribution of a 3 series.

You still have that sicko truck/trailer setup Dado?

Yeah bringing it around was the tough part other then that the instant power was great to have. On the M3 it's a bit laggy but to change direction it's instant.

Yeah still have the Peterbilt setup, here are some pics.





Some more.

I love that thing man...

I looked quick, you have any more pictures of your exhaust setup? It must get hot in that car, being turbo'd as well. I assume you went through the interior.

I've got another '95 325 we just scooped up. Time for me to build my own race/play car
