I'm glad this M3 went to somebody who deserved it. You'll have to keep me updated Chris!

Was this the one for sale that was half-disassembled on a "fresh rebuild"? Nice pick up. Love the plans.

Big plans for this beauty, here is the list:

1. Rebuild the current disassembled s14 in the car, and get it running like a champ.

2. Source an aluminum block m52 out of a z3, and build it into an s50/s52. The aluminum motor is 60 lbs lighter then the cast block, I will be running no AC, aluminum control arms, and a fiberglass hood to help negate any added weight up front.

Plans for the motor:

Schrick Cams

Euro s50b32 headers

Port and Polished Schrick intake manifold (out performs the low-end torque of the obd2 manifold, and outflows the m50 manifold up top)

Some mild head work to well with the cams, intake manifold and headers

68mm big bore throttle body

Samco 3" > 3.5" silicone intake boot

3.5" hfm

2-piece custom fiberglass airbox

Turner Motorsport underdrive pullies

RMS custom dyno tune

Stewart high-flow water pump

Driveline:

Either ZF320 5 speed, or a 6psd from an e46 M3

UUC 8.5lb Lightweight flywheel

Sachs race clutch

3.46 lsd, and a 2.93 lsd - each will serve it's own purpose

Suspension:

Already has brand new H&R race springs, and brand new Koni top adjustable shocks

Vorschlag camber plates and perches (already acquired)

Tree house racing lollipops (already acquired)

Aluminum control arms (already acquired)

Polyurethane: steering coupler, subframe bushings and rear trailing arm bushings

Reinforced rear shock mounts

Sparco front strut brace

Custom rear strut brace

22mm front/ 19mm rear sways

Wheels:

17x8.5 et13 BBS RZs

245/40/17 HANKOOK VENTUS V12 EVO K110

OR

18x8 front 18x9 rear Real Alpinas!

Brakes:

E36 M3 front brake conversion, with UUC slotted rotors, and EBC red stuff pads

Stainless steel brake lines all around

UUC slotted rotors and EBC red stuff pads in the rear

Ate Super Blue brake fluid

Exterior:

Properly sanding down and repainting the entire car Carbon Black (the super dark blue on the e46 M3 and the e39 M5)

Evo front lip, with splitter

Eurostop adjustable CF gurney flap and spoiler

Hopefully some AC Achnitzer mirrors

Plus much more!
