I think you missed the point. He's not trying to wipe out the existence of 135's just not lead them to believe HIS car was a 135.

BTW shouldn't GIAC be in the list of mods? I LOVE GIAC!!!

To answer the questions...
1) Hood is not the greatest fitting, it is a Vorsteiner..... it is off on both sides but actually looks strangely ok in real life... and it does wobble at speed but the latch is secure.
2) Wheels are 18" Breyton GSR races square setup ( i.e. rears all the way around) with Bridgestone RE011 255s all around.
3) 10mm Spacers to clear Stoptechs in front.
4) Vorschalg camber plates at -3 degrees.
5) Dinan stage 2 suspension ( koni shocks).
6) It's not really a 128i... Walk quietly, carry a big stick....
7) Wavetrack rear diff.
8) Cooling Mist Meth kit.

When you come in at the end of the session on the track and suddenly there's a crowd gathering around your car with people scratching their head and wondering how a 128i ate Carrera 4S' , M3s etc. for lunch, you'll understand
lol, they might void the warranty on your 128 if they see the engine and tranny swap you did

on a serious note, what's your opinion on the Wavetrack rear diff?

you are correct.
Also, if you see from my first post.... "Special Thanks to Harold at HPA, GIAC Stage 2+, the makers of 107 race Gas, Methanol Kits, DCIs, upgraded intercoolers........."

I'm saving up for that mod. But I do have the GIAC flash and it IS fantastic. Sometimes I worry that the drivetrain will not be able to handle it all if I don't start upgrading parts!

what else have you got done to the car that's making you concerned about the durability of the drivetrain?

I have the JB3 and it feels strong like bull....

I've felt weak drivetrains before, and this feels nothing like that thankfully....

that being said, I expect the LSD will help a little
