I've seen that steering wheel countless times, yet i can't recall it's name lol someone help me? i like

awesome build btw, although i am wondering why is everyone going crazy with SR20's? i've counted about 5 BMW's (including yours) today that have an SR20 in them, the sound is distinctive. Why not a S42?

It's a momo benetton wheel. As for the SR, I had one laying around, its dirt cheap, it makes more than enough power in stock form, and more power is easily attainable, 4 cylinder gives better weight distribution, its cooler than an s54, no oil pan scraping issues, etc. I would have gone S14 or F20c if cost was no option, but having the SR laying around made it a no brainer.


As for the car, there's been a lot of work going on, but not much to show for it just yet.





In lieu of a decent update, went out and screwed around in a buddy's little parking lot this weekend with my beater, haha... Here's a little video.

Good lookin out. Maybe I'll see you at an event.

Nice! Where is this shop you guys are all talking about? I'm in the NW burbs. Is there a good place to get some local event info too?

Touge Factory / TF Works in Elk Grove, IL is helping with the fab work on the build, and IND Distribution / A&L Autobody in Palatine, IL is doing the body work.
