S52 finally!

[parkerbink]

Thanks, the headers are shortys. I was given a bunch of input that the clutch was the way to go, hope it's right.

Just read through it all, sad to see it go but happy for ya getting the S52. Seems like a nice unit and very pretty. Good choice on the trans mounts, those are by far my favorite out of both Condors/Garagistic/stock etc. Did you go for shortys or long tube headers? As for the clutch setup please let us know how you like an unsprung clutch on a SMF. I've heard the engagement can be a bit harsh but I've never personally ran one setup that way.

Ouch, tough to see that M3 hit like that. At least it's heart is being used for good in your Z3.

Thread title changed as per your request.

[parkerbink]

Motor disassembled, ready to go be cleaned/hot tanked/honed/whatever else needs to be done to make it new adjacent!
