1) Because he can
2) Because he wants to

Why modify any car period?

This.

I went to Willow Springs today and saw a set-up 2.5L s14 M3, that was gutted to the extreme (meaning a hacksaw was used to various panels in the car. But hey, the guy owned 2 M3s, so he wanted one to be his track beast. I can respect what he did, but he wont be able to reutrn the car to it's original shape very easily.

Whatever I do to the car can be undone in the future if need be.

it should be clear that a lot of people care. just sayin'

at least he's going to try and maintain the weight balance. Hey, if it was me, i'd keep the s14. but what he's doing is more practicle for him. let it be.

Boring out the aluminum blocks is tricky. Almost all of them are 84mm and cannot be bored. The only ones that might work are n52, which have iron sleeves. I believe the only aluminum m52 blocks are nikasil which cannot be honed or bored.

I found that out shortly after posting. If I can find the motor I want, then I'll use an s52 crank and rods, and m52 pistons. I'll have to see what deck height and what size head gasket that I'll have to run. I'd like to be able to run a bit higher compression than a factory s50/2, but we'll see.

If I can't find the aluminum block that I want in the next 6 months, then I'm going to get an s54. The s54 would be more fun, but I would like to keep the weight off the front end if possible.
