CTN's E30GTR made Jalopnik

Some guys do things just to make other people cringe. Engineer Christian Newman decided to do it with an eye-searingly greenish-yellow, carbon-fiber and kevlar-infused E30 BMW with a transplanted Nissan GT-R straight six. His reward? Scorn, and 286 WHP.

Congrats dudebroski :tup:

Haha! AWESOME!

ugghh, I think if anyone is going to publish this they need to wait until the boost is cranked up

you should send them an email, and tell them to note that it’s not final tuned yet

wonder who submitted this

Holy shit that’s awesome! Love the fact they threw in the shift knobs as well into the mod list…lol.

I know that the colors are weird… but I didn’t think everyone would be so turned off on the car for it… I think they rule… I guess that’s all that matters.

This isn’t just rice - it’s a greasy mix of rice and spaetzle. A really curious blend of win and fail on the same car."

lol

Ha. I was reading Jalopnik this morning and saw that. Congrats on the recognition. :tup:

that is all that matters…besides you know all that you put into it and the satisfaction…people just have no imagination…I like the colors too

I like the color of the car and even the way it clashes with the motor. Only colors I don’t care for are the mixture of your suspension/drivetrain pieces just because there are a handful of different colors under there

But that’s the point… you never see it, but if you do stumble upon it, it’s like easter egs all over!

haha touche

ehhh, I think you have to understand that the majority of people(and most show car standards) would agree that colors should match. It’s that simple, really.

We all know you don’t care about that…but that’s the mindset of the majority of your viewers.

Everytime a comment gets brought up about the way you built your car…I feel like a nice photo of the NFG shiftknob should be your reply:)

“HOW DARE YOU BE DIFFERENT!! SHUN HIM! HATE HIM!”

People just have no imagination. The world is a bunch of sheep following each other around. I personally love the car for all that is done to it and the imagination and uniqueness of it. You took an old car and made it new again.

dont tell Nissan on that…in 02 the spec Vs had red interior no matter what ext. color you got lol

Congrats
