Did you change the water pump outlet direction where it goes to the upper radiator inlet?
Doesn't that pipe come our facing the radiator?
Yes. We welded AN fittings for the heater hoses and relocated the out flow pipe to the top of the housing and capped the original exit port. This IMO cleaned up that area.
not a bad idea for clearance, but sure makes waterpump replacement a bitch. I'm building one as a track car, and although I like the idea, it makes for swapping the water pump in short order nearly impossible.
Care to share the specs on your radiator? Looks like it's probably a 26x19 Griffin, yes?
We used a close-fitting swivel waterneck for the inlet to the pump. Solves the problem of the hose chafing on the aft face of the radiator. Canton Racing products or similar work nicely.

Not sure if I missed this or not... but why hasn't the body been painted yet?! I figured that would get done long before you would start bolting things back in.
I'd say i'm a purist in that I'm not a fan of non-BMW engines in e30 m3s, but kudos on a proper preservation of the chassis at least. No doubt it will be fun to drive!

Nice M3. Wouldn't happen to be the one that was at CalTuned a few weeks ago? Got a few quick seconds of drooling (next to it lol). If not, Sac is set with M3 LS cars!
Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

A Topless Memorandum
2780lbs which included about 30lbs of misc. crap in the car. Not bad considering the stock vehicle weights in at about 2850lbs. I would guess that I have about 20 to 30lbs of stuff that still needs to be reinstalled on the vehicle. Either way I am happy with sub 2800lbs. I dont have access to get weight bias but when I do ill post it. I have seen others around 55/f 45/r which isnt bad at all.
