2002s are awesome.  I check in every week to see what Jay is up to.

I wasn't expecting an S14.  kind of a missed opportunity in many respects.  Why not modern turbocharging on a production four (M10, M42?), that's robust and drivable.  I guess being done ten years ago has something to do with it, engine management and turbo technology has progressed muchly in that time.

And yes, I thought it needed a resonator.  M3's don't sound that farty!  

Liked the bodywork.   Shame they didn't talk more about the suspension at front and rear.

Yip needs the resonator and shows how much difference ten years makes, even on a resto
