Got this car in February '03 and I'm going to be turning it into a SpecE30 racecar. But that shiznit is 'spensive, so it'll be awhile.

(Update 3/28/04)- Finished last autocross season in 1st place for my class. Upgraded some stuff for this new season. Did an engine swap along with all of the other additionals that essentially make my car a 325is. That means I gained ~50 ponies and a much more aggressive diff ratio. :)
