Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) So the funds have finally come through to get this project going again, and thought it was about time to start a project thread Pic of when we first got it, also came with 16" BBS BMW 5 stud basket weaves The Package arrived from Christchurch with parts sourced all from one damaged 1997 m3 evo, the parts included Front Struts Rear Suspension and Diff Engine 6spd Gearbox Drive shaft Exhaust Steering Column and various things such as shifter and ECU Then Blue 320i was sent over to Andy to get a Role cage, since then (end of 08') it has been sitting in the garage, collecting dust. Will update as time goes on............... *sorry about quality of pics, all were taken on my 1.2MP phone camera Edited September 17, 2012 by Jamez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Nice, What did that s50 cost ya ? Alot. You've managed to keep quiet about this until now? Wow... this is going to be awesome. The bill from RaceFX won't be awesome, but the car will. Thats why the project has been down for 6 months, ive been selling off the remains of my dads car yard to get him the funds to pay for this and only just sold the last one this morning (a nissan wingroad) About time you started it . Nice Jag also, Convertible right?. Its a targa top, so not quite a vert. Hope to have the car in paint by Thursday, will need to get a trailer off my dads friend, or if anyone is willing to lend me a hand and a trailer Thursday afternoon I have got to get the car from Takapuna to Glenfield. Then early next week it will be going from their to RaceFX for a few weeks to be completed So looking at end of June for Completion. oh and can anyone suggest a functional bodykit to go with that doesn't cost the earth?

Apex 693 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 You and your dad are my new hero’s! RaceFX are going to have to stiffen the shell like 1000% Bloody legendary. I would just flair it and lip it, would look naff with a Tech-II and Tech-I should be reserved for real M325i's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted May 19, 2009 Keep it stock as on the ouside bar wheels obviously to fit slicks for mega traction. Ultimate Qship on the track. With 320i badges Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_BRS_ 209 Report post Posted May 20, 2009 This is one Hell of a project! Personally id rather start with a f/l shell but its still going to be insane. 320i badges Haha nothing wrong with 320 badges!

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted May 20, 2009 in reply to the rear end, i have not found anyone else putting a e36m3 rear end in a e30, will make the track a bit wider, effectively it will be a 1999 M3 Evo in a e30 shell. taking it over to the car painters at 4pm tomorrow as for bodykit i was thinking just a zender front apron like the one on the vert in my signature would look nice.

greenday-rulz21 6 Report post Posted May 20, 2009 IMO If you've got something special (In this case something extremely special) wouldn't you want a nice complete kit to match the rest of the car. Standard e30's look soo plain to me. If you're gonna bother with the s50 then a Tech II would match perfectly. I get the whole idea of a sleeper. But don't you want people to notice it from all the rest when it drives by? Especially with all the work thats going to be put into it. Maybe standard body if its only got a relatively standard engine, i.e. 2.7. Idk. I don't mean to offend anyone. Just my opinion. I think if you're gonna bother with a frikin S50! Then you'd want to make everything about the car special. Just my 2 cents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
