That is some phenomenal creativity, engineering and workmanship. Max respect!

Was looking at this the other day.

Not much of the car is original any more... not even the shell...

I reckon they would have been better off building a bespoke chassis to match the performance of the engine than patching suspension assemblies to the E30 shell. Probably cheaper too

People with disposable income like that don't really care about cheap. If they want to do it, they will.

That WRX build is pretty entertaining. A few observations I have made after reading the whole thread:

- He has been asked quite a few times what he does for money and he avoids answering the question.
- Although he does seem to have good taste in buying the best of everything he does seem to buy quite a lot of snakes oil! I.e. the exhaust grounding wires, uprated brake hose mounting "cramps" and many, many different types of chassis braces that probably add more weight than stiffness benefit.
- He is pretty humble about the whole project and he takes suggestions onboard.
