Something no one has done before and to show what we can built from a none drifting potensial car and who will think this car goes sideways.....
Are you gonna keep it sleeper looking? From the title, I thought you were going to build it from a 4motion passat or something!
We will keep the sleeper look for this season. Next year we will do somthing outside. 4 motion was to easy. Ho ho...... Using the good parts from BMW and powerfull engine from US car.
Oh what manual gearbox will you be running with the 5.7? Im interested in getting one of these but it has an auto :-( thanks Edit: cant wait to see this out in action!
You can use a borg & warner t56 6 speed or a tremec 5 or 6 speed that run 600+ hp whit no problems. If you think about by one, by one from USA complet whit the gearbox and fixed electronic. There is a start imobeliser that can give you a lot of problems.
