A little progress today. I started restoring the rims. So I am sanding down the rough spots, and polishing it out. Then I will sand down the paint, and re-paint them, not sure what color at the moment.

Everything in between
800 grit sand paper and polishing supplies
wet sanding the rim
still kinda funky
wiped it down, still pretty dull
started polishing her out
and a little tire shine
not true. All the trannys for the gen4 I have looked at are 5 speeds. and the all track community will pay 200-300 for the tranny. I talked with a local importer that got my friends gen4 and he said he can get it for 1300 shipped to me.
So I can sell off the tranny, for 200, so I am only paying 1100 for a gen4. The W58 tranny can be had for dirt cheap out of many different cars in 5 speeds for about 200-300 bucks from a pick a part.
Tilting the motor is not a problem and is easily resolved with motor mounts and the oil sump.
then I just need to order the RWD bell housing and mounter mounts.
I want a stock realiable motor, with around 250-300hp. so if i did the BT, the HP is just not worth it, to me. 200 to the crank for the price, I might as well go 20v for 500 bucks since its so much cheaper, and only 30hp difference.
With a gen4 I can turn the boost up alittle and be be in the 240-270 hp range reliable with no after market EMS, or even have to open up the motor like I would with the BT to even get close.
I have a fully built 5sgte for my mr2. I want to go an easier route with the ae86.
I apprecaite and respect ur opinion for the BT, If I thought I could be happy with 200hp, i would do it in a heart beat, since the the 6 speed would be very nice and its an easier swap. but I know I want at least 240 rear wheel horse power. and the few items it requires to mod the gen4 just seems to make a lot more sense to me.
I am also open to other motor ideas, i was tossing around the idea sr20det with a gt28rs for a while too.
Wow amazing!
