IMO the beams engine is not worth the hassle/money. SPECIALLY if your gonna boost it.


EDIT** Oops... I guess 6 speed would be nice...
Depends on the cost, just wanting a quick car on a low budget...or low budget for how quick it is.

You can make a big brake kit with Volvo 240 hubs and early 320i calipers. Hell my 76 has 4piston calipers in the front stock. Work pretty nicely too.

Anyway, I drive mine everyday and garage the galant for the most part but eventually when I get myhigh compression motor in I'll have 140ish to the wheels in a super light car that handles well. Fun for the mountains and autox. So thats my goal. To go fast I have the vr4 and I would be semi scared to have more than 200 whp in an 02.
I'm not worried about being moral with it. No matter what BMW engine i put it in there will always be one that is more power, cleaner, etc...not into competing, i just want something original, differant, and possibly one of a kind.

For the brakes i'll do a kit with the same porsche calipers i have on the teg....i'm in love with that setup.

As for the car and power, I want to be scared of it. I want it to scare me every single time i get in it. I'm looking forward to it.
