While I agree this is pretty cool to see, the $15k price tag just isn't feasible financially. The only way I could see it working out was if you yourself owned a machine shop and had proper knowledge of how to build the car.
$5k for the ECU
$3k for the PDM
$1k for the e36 throttle body
$1k for the custom intake manifold
$1k minimum for the custom race headers
$1k for the lightened flywheel
$500 for misc motor parts
$2.5k+ for custom cams

Not even mentioning the amount of work on the suspension, wheels, tires, and race interior. I'd rather buy another car for racing...Ex:e36 m3, coilovers, wheels, tires and a small amount of motor work <$15k and IMO a better car.
