No drifting, just road courses. The NA chasis is probably one of the worst cars for drifting of all time.
We are used to seeing "pie in the sky" build ideas that don't bear any fruit. Please excuse the naysayers if you do make this happen. You must understand the basis for their beliefs your project will not pan out. I hope it works out, but I'm understandably cautious. |
He's like the 12th n00b this year to suggest the Nissan z trans lolol
It might be strong, but it absolutely sucks at shifting fast or working well at high rpm. Also not one, not a single one, of the previous dreamers actually made anything happen. just talk |

You would be the first person to tell us that the BMW transmissions break at 500whp. Please quote sources?

Yes, it is. Thank you for knowing it. Low polar moment of inertia and all that.

There was no report of a breakage in that thread you linked. The transmission reported as being "weak" anecdotally in that thread is not supported by the existing swap kit on the market. Reading is hard.

No no no . We like innovation, well executed fabrication, better alternatives and we like conclusive test data. Nothing to do with hating. Well kinda... we hate on bull-shitters. Until we see something, like actual physical progression, you are no different than the guy at the bar who wants to talk cars. Its usually just bullshit, I just finish my beer and leave.
This place also has a pretty intense mob mentality filled with pretty intelligent people, so good luck. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...0e25cc851c.png |

Just to give you guys an update I'm now looking at the CD009 Nissan transmission. It weighs about 125 lbs, heavier I know, but can support 1000+ whp, is a 6 speed and can be had from junkyards for $500 or less sometimes. New from Nissan it's only $1800.

Show me one person besides Emilio that can compete with that part list. Keep in mind all it need's to run as is is wiring harness and intercooler plumbing. |
are we supposed to be impressed you bought a car with all that stuff already?
also define: great suspension. cause tiens aren't it. |

Yea well I think I've shown a decent starting point. I mean I have arguably the best BP you can build ('99 1.9L, Weisco 10:1 pistons, carillo rods, ACL race bearings, full Ferrea head with +1 valves, ported, oil pan baffle) the strongest Miata transmission(quaife), great chasis components(cage, tubular control arms), great suspension, widebody for 15x12 6ULs, carbon/fiberglass body panels, Racepak logger dash with GPS speed, Haltech standalone, EGT's on each cylinder, Mispec wiring harness.
