I got dibs on being #2 driver. I love that blue I'd do whatver I wanted to do. I'm a big believer in personalizing your ride. Foolow your heart you can't be wrong.

We have decided to go with the Guards Red. It is alot more simple and will be cheaper and alow us to get the car on the road much quicker.

Good point. I liked that Blue too, but what a PITA it would be to make the change right.
I had a 350 V8 in a old 240 SX I use to have...Way FUN!

Good luck/skill with your swap!

I like both colors of blue mentioned as well. I think I would go with the BMW blue. Like Steve said though...if you're gonna do it....do it right. It is going to be a huge amount of work, but when you are done, it's gonna be one to look at....unless you have my painting skills. I like guards red on our cars...had two of em, but sometimes you just like a change. Either way, it's going to look good though...and it should be really fast as well. Just think...no more timing belt problems! But I don't think you are going to get the same gas mileage!
