    Kato's Mtech 2 Vert Project Alpine White



    Guys,
    I wanted to start a thread to share some of the results of over a year long project. I don't have time to do a full write up right now so I'll start with a picture to let people see how she sits today...

    More Photos Here: http://s1094.photobucket.com/albums/...%20Vert%20AW2/

    I have overhauled and updated so many parts of this car it's not even funny. A few highlights:

    This car was built primarily by Castros Customs as well as myself and karzrtoyz. Thanks to EVERYBODY who has provided parts, advice, free labor, expertise, etc...

    1992 Mtech2 Vert in Alpine White 2 with WORKING power top!

    Originally White/White/White Auto

    Vaders: manual black with heating (e30 blankets) with full black interior !!
    Rear seat tops refinished in black Vinyl for durability-no cracks or splitting, lowers original black leather, no cracks, damage
    Fresh Dash, HVAC, Sony stereo with remote, AUX in for iPod, matching red display, removable face plate
    Mtech 2 (small diameter wheel),
    //M shift knob
    M3 Short Shift (e46?)
    5 Speed conversion with lightweight flywheel and fresh clutch, rebuilt driveshaft, 3.73LSD!
    D2 coilovers with camber plates, M3 front drop link conversion, M3 rear sway bar, fresh bushings
    Strut tower bar with black wrinkle finish
    Fresh bushings (IE) pretty much everywhere! Control arms, CABs, Subframes
    Fresh rotors, pads, SS lines, fluid, painted gloss black calipers
    //M colored shift boot and ebrake boot
    Euro Grills, Black Kidneys, Euro Smilies, HID's low and yellow fogs (HID)-all glass sanded and cleared for freshening
    e36 M3 lower lip spoiler (custom cut and fit)
    Red Tail lamp conversion/painting (candy) by Castros
    Euro Plate Filler (black)
    Kopi Clear front bumper turn signals
    Front red reflectors
    Black wrinkle finish valve cover
    Working cluster (once new gears come in)
    325is Trunk (no third brake light), includes white IS spoiler (NOT PICTURED but I promise it's there now!) ;)
    178K on motor but was auto until recently. Compression solid, totally serviced and runs STRONG! I may turbo as-is. Just needs head gasket, bolts, etc... everything else good enough to boost as-is!

    17x8" BBS RC090 (Style 5, two piece-pro filled/drilled to 4x100 ) total overhaul, polished lips, silver painted centers, BBS logos, NO spacers!
    235/40/17" Falken Azenis RT 615K's all around
    Stud conversion, tuner lugs
    Rolled fenders

    All hoses and cooling system refreshed, timing belt, water pump, BavAuto spark plug wires (red), //M Oil cap
    M20 with Castros MAF Kit, custom tune and cone filter
    E46 M3 Motor mounts for better clearance and weight balance rear (raises motor in chassis to give more oil pan clearance)

    I'll add more as I have time and can think about it all and look through my receipts but wanted to share. Enjoy!

                        Added some updates above. I've had multiple inquiries about whether or not I'd sell my car. The answer is yes as I am searching for a larger house to buy and could use the cash. Let me know if anybody is interested and we can talk about a fair price. I know I'd take a HUGE bath on the deal but cash is king in today's economy and cars are not investments... :(
