How are you going to do the axle setup? Something like a subaru transmission style setup?

[340i]

yes, almost exactly that. im running a subaru box converted to 2wd, so its essentially just the front drive axles that get used, which come out of the gearbox from the diff that is right behind the flywheel/clutch. the axles will be custom made though, as the rear suspension is from an audi a8.

I love the trailer. Is the E21 gone for good?

still got the e21, but its in a pretty sad state. i started cutting out the floor a while back and shelved the project again. if/when it gets rebuilt i think its going to be a major one. might make it into a drift hack or something, i think that'd be fun. not sure yet though tbh.

thanks. i've still got more planned for the exhaust, it'll look mad when its finished.


Did a quick video of the show. Apologies for the shaky camera work, i forgot my tripod, and had about ten hours sleep in the previous three nights, so this is as steady as my hands were getting haha
