No offense, but if you're asking you might be in over your head on the project. Do you at least have some plans? I'm sure you could buy some basic plans somewhere.

Well i am building it for road use on weekends.street drags.The motor with turbo and nitrous gives about 160kw on the back wheels depending on the shot of nitrous.I do have a project plan of a fully tube chassis,but would like some more info on other builds if possible.I am using a 325i bmw rear end drive, disc brakes all around of a325i bmw as well as the suspension

You're building a tubed car for road use? I hope you plan on wearing a helmet everywhere you go. And that you've lots of money. In fact, if you can afford a build like this, leave the helmet at home and just put me in your will.
