I still really like the 128 as a street car, and I'm not really going out of my way to part out the core STX stuff (power, diff, shocks) as of now, and they're staying on the car. I'll probably play around with it a little bit this year at some local events.
FWIW, I still think the 128 is the best car for the class when fully developed, it is just, well, a pretty big undertaking to get there. The cost to get it down within 50lbs of E36 weight (which is possible) is pretty staggering, and requires R&D I've lost motivation to take on myself.

Was pretty happy to see a 128i take 4th in nationals this year (STX). He is doing well with the car. James Tada is a local scca member and a fast driver, so I am not too upset he is in 1st with a brz lol. A 1M is still on the podium in A Street Prepared as well where that car has been successful (EDIT: sorry was looking at the wrong results- they took 6th in ASP. A 1M took 1st in B Street). Is an E82 a cheap car to build? No. But, it is a way more capable chassis than people claim. Just need a good driver to put the work into an E82.
