why Hell ... you win Gorilla ... I can't compete with somebody with a car like that
That's awesomeness right there ... even more awesome if you did the work yourself
Would love to see some pictures of that beast !!!
How much did the drenth sequential cost? I've always wondered if it'd take much to convert the SMG in the CSL to the Drenth sequential (for track use of course, one'd be almost crazy to drive that gearbox on the road).
Oh and just for the record so that I am not seen as talking out of my ass ... I am not a mechanic by trade, but am self taught. Mostly to do with Hondas, but the basics are all much the sameness. I've personally done and completed 2 x auto to manual conversions, 2 engine rebuilds, numerous wiring and mechanical jobs on hybrid motor swaps for Hondas (much harder than it sounds) and am competent at changing a clutch on my own in a Honda (I've done it in record time of just under 3 and a half hours by myself on a B series with the engine in the car - dealerships quote 7 hours for the job) - but that's just monkey work I suppose.
I gather most of my knowledge on the M3 from personal experience and from reading training manuals when available - most other sources and knowledge I've built up over the years from reading forums and having 3 close friends who are master BMW mechanics - so what I don't know I just ask.
