M3 update (no April fools joke here)

Looking very tasty Chris. Getting it ready for the season? Whats the overalll down time for this project?

[cramer]

This could easily be done in a weekend but I had some parts issues come up so it delayed the final assembly.

It's getting closer to being track ready, but not sure how much money/time I'll have left for it after the house remodel this summer :P

will it make it to lukes meet?

[cramer]

I don't see why it wouldn't , probably stll mark it's territory some though ;)

Nice. Love the alloy radiator CF airbox combo. Looks real clean.

his parts guy sucks ass...

S14s certainly look more interesting than any S5X motors ever will. Glad you got the Exon Valdez cleaned up.

I disagree...

Bay looks KILLER dude!!!!

I think the little flex hose thing on the intake kinda ruins the schexy streamlined scheme. Maybe a black silicone coupler?

Looks excellent though dude keep it clean!!!

4 temp sensors? I didn't know the s14 needed 4 of them?????

Nice work, Chris. Can't wait to see it again this year at the picnic, your car is always one of the ones I look forward to most.

Yup, a little bit of overkill

Blue - ECU
Brown- Gauge
2 on the thermostat, one for the dual fan, one for AC cut out.

As for the intake, yes the hose isn't the best looking but it's the best of the worst ;) A silcon coupler would be too stiff in my opinion unless it was very thing. This motor moves around a lot!
