Yeah, and it's for sale too. It is one of the fastest 8v 240's in the US (if not world) and arguably the best sorted 242 in US. If you want to go out and drift, this car is ready to go.

His 242 is incredible. Your car looks absolutely fantastic. I actually really dig the forward rake.

Haha, I'm in the same boat as you don't worry about it.
A couple long weekends and 0 dollars and I could drop a manual into my 7 series.

I'm just waiting for my current tranny to die really
