All black everything

[einstein57]

I've been pretty lucky so far with my turbo car. I think not running urethane engine, tranny, or dif mounts have helped keep them crack free this long. I have a spare subframe that 8nm going to use to sand blast (going to be interesting to get it in my blasting cabinet), weld in an AKG reinforcement kit, and pwdercoat. Just need to get an electric oven and I'll be set to do all my own stuff.

Damn your powder coater is expensive. How come you did not reinforce the subframe first. Seen a lot of cracks in m42 and m20 cars.

Yeah I have since found a better/cheaper PC guy and ended up reinforcing the sway points on the front and rear. I have the 25/22 IE sways that had the kit included, but unfortunately I bought them after I had the PC done =[

dunno why no one said it at this point but why did you toss all that stuff away, if you literally meant it. isnt that stuff worth a lot to us 4 lug ppl?

I know what he means. Pretty clean looking strut tubes, axles,drive shaft, etc. I have had to purchase all that stuff in the last year.

Do we get an update on this thread?

Ah sure, havent gotten as far as I wanted. I ended up buying a house shortly after the m3 and that has eaten up most of my spare time. I will take some pics later this week.

Basicly the 5 lug GC's are on with all new suspension/bushings, new calipers, new IE sways, THR eyeballs, etc. The engine is fully rebuilt and put together waiting to be dropped in. Most of the interior is together now, i ended up getting a set of black monzas and the rear seat is at the shop getting reupholstered to match.


I have also been working with a local CF guy to make molds of my various body parts like the fenders, sideskirts, and bumpers. The skirts are done and i should have pictures of those soon as well. For now, here is a shot of the m3 all dirty and dusty.
