Matt<\/a> celebrated a milestone in his custom BMW 2002 project with the first drive. Since our previous article<\/a> he installed fuel lines, coolant lines, windshield, and rear glass. Matt built the unique BMW coupe using a Subaru WRX (GC8) chassis under a BMW 2002 (E10) body. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0 L EJ205 flat-four making 227 hp (166 kW) and 217 lb-ft (294 Nm) of torque. Behind that is a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels and a Subaru rear differential. Matt improved handling with Cygnus Performance X-1 adjustable coilovers.<\/p>\n
