Hennarot S50B32 M3 consumes my spare time

[UNHCLL]

I'll be picking up tires (225/45/16 Dunlop ZII) for these guys Friday.

Do the centercaps match in color finally? We went through almost 2 complete sets of OE Nogaro wheels a few years back and could never get the factory caps to match the wheels in color.

Enjoy the new car.

that car was built by Jason89i, I'm 90% certain. I couldn't find the build thread but I'm sure he originally put it together.

Same car? Had some upgrades since he sold it:

This brings back memories! I always thought this car was flat out awesome. I can't believe Jason was asking 20K. That is crazy cheap in today's E30 M3 marketplace.

I actually have no idea!
It looks like stock pedals and a really small booster, but I don't know what it came out of.

hmn. if small booster, is probably from an E21 IIRC long-nearly forgotten discussions. one can offset the pivot point on the stock pedal box and then move the booster a bit (half inch or so) from the plenum as well. I have all manner of different pieces somewhere in the basement.

(Sport Evo OE wheels, from dealer)

those are certainly one way to go. what does a set of those new from the dealer run these days ? IIRC around $1700 or so the last time I checked.

I remember thinking $20k for a swapped m3 seemed like a lot at the time. Now, I'm pretty sure i could sell my rolling chassis with no interior for $10k in a minute.

You've got PM.

Looks great Eric, can't wait to see it. Help me put the sedan's motor in mine!

[Eric]

Definetly dude, I'm going to make a for sale add once I remove the motor, but it should be a direct swap besides the booster, and bashing the firewall a little bit for header clearance. Most "$500 S50 swap" believers will be turned off by the price though...

Thanks Chris, the centers look pretty close, but to be honest, I haven't even opened up all the boxes yet!

How's the vsr composite program developing? Will I be able to buy a hood + M1 vent someday?

Super cool Eric, I for sure want to check it out in person!! ;D

Great find and nice to see you back in an M car! Going back to S14?? And those Sport wheels look awesome.

[Neil1138]

In for quality photography and sexy m3.

I honestly don't think the balance is ruined at all with the S50 motor. The car is quite fun to drive + has low end torque for thumping around town.

Now building an S14 powered 2002 with my sons when they get a bit older, that'd be an awesome experience!


New tires were mounted today.

Some oddities I noticed when really looking the car over.

This hole is not on the drivers side.

That is a hole paintless dent repairmen drill to insert their rods into inaccessble areas in order to pop dents back out. I find it really strange they cure one problem by creating another potentially more serious problem.

Are you swapping the s50 for something else?

No, Adam and I were talking about my e30 sedan. Sorry if that was confusing!
