nice time man.Whats been done to your car thats a pretty quick time

the plastic repair company on archers rd in wairau valley they do a really good job and they know there s##t. thats who we out sorce our bumper repairs to and we do pretty much repair only euros.

tech 1 with a tech 2 fnt bumper ftw. deap side skirts with the more agressive bumper..... i miss my e30... sigh

now thats a good deal you wont find better than that.fitted too, can you change the e36 hoodliner with out removing the glass?

i miss my old one. she was pampered also then a mega twat decided it was a good idea to get drunk and go crash into me.....sigh

mmmmmmmm phat. I like well done

also anyone else find it odd that bmw isnt using 320 common rail diesel turbos in wtcc they would destroy all!! has anyone else driven one they go very very well, much faster than the petrol 320 yet they keep running the petrol in wtcc while the diesels keep on winning most meetings WTF....

do agree but i think it might be a bit unfair on the auzzie metal

very cool best yet i think

i get paid bugger all to do a job i truly love. i work at precision autowerk on the shore what we do is smash repairs and paint on some of the countrys hottest ,rarest and most expensive cars in the country. for example in my corner of the workshop last week i had a 993 turbo sitting next to a 599 f1 sitting next to a brand new gtr. what i do is pull apart and put back together these beautfull machines and often i get to deliver them back to the customers when the works all done. so you see i love my job its just a shame the pays average. oh yeah im actually an auto sparky, my last job was a state road side rescue guy

all good man drop me a line whan your ready

just sent you a pm dude

Im a qualified alarm installer been fitting them for 7 years now and im always happy to pass on a good deal for a fellow bmw nut.plus im on the shore. do you know what you want? eg mongoose ,avs ,dynatron ect.... if your after unbiased professional advice im happy to help. personally i think mongoose is your best bet for a bmw they work with the diffenent style of electrics you find in euros much better especially bmw's if you want to go over some options give me a call on 0212233455 my names Jared.

hell my genuine e36 m3 sedan has a grey hood lining. very nice fabric but grey all the same

plans so far are as follows -finish reshaping and flaring guards -nolathane all bushes -adjustable sus ??? open to segestions here brand/model -plastic weld the two factory m3 bumpers i have into one factory looking bumper that sits about 2" lower -ali panel as much of the under belly as poss to give clean air flow to the F430 rear difuser thats getting grafted into the arse. -remove mechanical power steering pump and replace with an electric MR2 item -air con...history -replace oil cooler with racing item and move to a safer place a bit further from the tarmac -bin viscous fan and replace with twin electric items -Brakes not sure what to do here i had a chat with michael sexton a few weeks back, he runs an e36 m3 in the targa and he said do the after market pedal box thing and bin the abs as he played around with the breaks by upgrading the calipers/rotors/fluid and pads while trying to retain the factory abs and it made the car very dangerous so i think im gonna have to spend a bit more here than i was planning. -move oil pump to the power steering pump spot then ill have some real room for the compressor. -change the sump and oil pick up to a s52 twin pick up (cant have oil starvation mid corner as i am planing on some pretty big slicks so yeah thats why im not going power crazy i need a whole package its not gonna be no road car. ill get some pics up soon of the progress so far, its already been off the road for two years now

thanks for the input ben but the head gaskets not going thicker im only wanting 500 so lowering the comp is not really part of the plans head bolts is a good idea though that one wasnt on the list.. oh yeah 8psi on stock internals is a fairly big part of the build im not a millionare and around the 500 mark with no lagg sounds pretty good to me i built a very quick rex a few years back and the lag drove me nuts i dont want to comp to much on low down pull. Im not a noob with this kind of stuff just a firm beliver that often others have good ideas and tricks that i might not have heard of yet. all good stuff. thanks again for your input dude

So yeah like the title says iv decided to go the turbo path not the angery cam stilghtly higher comp na one. Therefore I now need a diferent list to the one i already have. If anyone has some good ideas parts wise im open to sujestions and your comments would be very welcome. The way i see it im never going to be able afford to run a full season in the open class and may as well build somthing faster and more fun at hill climbs and the odd all comers meet.

my M3 sedan has BTCCM3 my wife got it for my b day afew years back

my work does it. Precision Autowerk on 224 Archers rd in wairau valley 4432431

its all good none taken

hey man very nice car. one thing iv noticed in your pics though is your car has the pre evo grill if its a 3.2 why the 3.0 grill or did that come later im confused

its 286hp / 210kw man where did you get 282 from

+1 on that plan my m3 is resting while my wife is at uni i drive a $1000 civic at the mo

id go the parts way man shes not worth much as is. 2500 is optimistic

id have your 205 over the clio personally but thats just because iv allways wanted to build a group b replica.good choice with the e30 get yourself a tech 1 or 2 and your laughing or build one using a S charged later 6 good plan, nice one ,right on
