E30 BMW with RB26DETT

Not too sure if you guys have seen this or not, its been a work in progress for a few years. Its nearly completed. The builder is a friend of mine. I helped him with some of the work in the beginning of the project- but the engineering and final choices were all him. Yes, some of it disturbs me as well.

Check it out:

yo dawg I put so much awesome unda yo hood dat i had 2 mount da rad outside hope dats coo

on the plus side the car now looks like a smiling face in the first photo so maybe a really drunk ho would go for it

What is the purpose of it? I'm assuming auto-x and/or show?

It looks like quite a bit of work was done. It's a little too over the top/ricer for my tastes. I'm sure it moves pretty good, they're really great motors.

I think it's pretty cool, the only things I don't like are the gold rims and the pink on the motor.

While I bet its fast, its ugly. Why a purple engine?

He likes to stand out I guess. I don't understand his tastes and choices in most cases, but I respect his work and effort he put in.

He's still breaking in the engine, but 280+ whp isn't a bad start in a car that weighs <2800lbs.
