Rebuilt E30 M3 (56k beware)

[burtonownz]

This is my friend' M3. He rebuilt the S14 over this summer and this is his car with our other friend's Mercedes 190e Cosworth 2.3L 16v. So far it's completely stock except for the engine and now Koni double-adjustables. He has BBS 17" RGR's waiting to go on.


By the way, its' rebuilt N/A and I think he was expecting like a 9k rpm redline. He hasn't tuned it yet, but he's expecting very high numbers.

they both look awesome.

New wallpaper. :) I never realized how similar the rear ends of those cars were.

[burtonownz]

Hehe, you guys are quick.

Yeah, wallpaper. The first is my favorite. It looks so hot. Mmm, fenderflares...

And to think merc was going to Rally it....

The Bimmer still has the boy racer look but the Merc is no slouch. Id rock both for sure.

The first pic owns everything!
Any clue to what has been done to the S14? Did he make it a 2.5, and how is he going to pull 9000 ?

[Henna Red]

looks nice. Is it me, or is the camber off? the first pic looks funny, but it could be cause the wheels are turned

I usually can't stand Mercedes, but not that one. :) Both are super fly, no doubt.

Here's what he's done with so far as far as I know (so, let there be a +/- 2-item rule in effect. I helped him with a small part of it but his father and him planned it so I'm not sure what they changed. However, it's close to this).:

Balanced/Blueprinted/Bored/Stroked 2.5 liter
euro-spec Sport Evo 87mm stroke crankshaft
95mm 11.25:1 Wiseco Forged Pistons
Turner Motorsport OilPan Baffle
All new bearings/gaskets
Schrick 292 degree 12mm lift intake camshaft
Schrick 284 degree 11.5mm lift exhaust camshaft
Schrick oversized racing intake/exhaust valves
Schrick racing ovate coil dual valve springs
Schrick Titanium valve retainers
BCE Racing full race port/polish full radius valve job
ETAS/Bosch Lamda monitoring system
AVL sparkplug transducers
Sachs Heavy Duty Clutch
Shifter reinforcement
Lots of random new OEM parts

Cibie CSR projector headlamps

Ground Control coilover suspension
Koni Double Adjustable shocks
Larger adjustable swaybars
GC racing rear shcok mounts
GC camber/caster plates
BBS RG-R 17x8.5 wheels
Yokohama AO32R tires

And I still don't have an exhaust system but I'd like to get one too.

He plans on MoTeC M4 stand alone ECU running alpha-n setup.

[Wes325]

That is exactly what I would and want to do to an E30 M3. Give me 6-7years :) seriously.[/quote]

Any clue if he converted to shims under the buckets for that rpm?

[burtonownz]

I don't think he did. He was showing my pictures of some the other day and saying how they "made him jizz." So, I'll asume that means he didn't transplant any into the valvetrain.
