The Purple ///Monster Build

[Iain]

I prefer the 3pc wheels on it, but those other ACS rims are better than bottlecaps.

[MR 325]

Not sure how I feel about the current wheels Chris. They seem too "futuristic" for the E30 M3.

[PGAero]

I like where this is going.

Although not one to typically condone color-changes, Techno Violet is the right way to go on this car...

Now, if you were painting over original, unmolested paint... but you're not.

Keep the photos coming!

Finally stanced to my liking, with wheels that are a bit more my style. The TC Kline coil overs + sway bars + Treehouse eyeball arms make this car handle amazing! I'm in love with my M3!





God I love concave wheels!

Honestly this is the car I would love to own when your done with it. My favorite paint/interior and motor swap. You will have the best E30 M3 IMO when it is done =)

[e30polak]

Wow! Hoping to see this M3 at the Picnic.

Probably wont be able to make it this year... :(

But next year it will show up with an ice cream paint job; cream on the inside, clean on the outside...with an S Fiddy Fo!!! 8-)

Thanks! everything was literally last minute to get it to Bimmerfest, it will look MUCH more put together over the next month.

The Type 1s will be stripped from chrome and refinished, and I will run my staggered 17" Type 2s in the mean time. ;)



From what I've read, there will be some work to get these to fit. One of the primaries on the front headers has to be heated and bent to fit apparently.

We will also be chopping these right after the collector as I want to run larger, 2.5" downpipes.

Do I hear an s54 swap in the making Otis??? :D

Yup, with a turbo of course. You gotta post up some pics dude, talk is nice we wanna see pics...!!!

i absolutely love those acs... congrats on getting it all running!!

When you get them can you bolt them on to check alignment of the bolts, please..?
pm me if you could to let me know, thanks.

She runs, and boy does she run great!!!! The freshly rebuilt s14 is very strong and runs like a Swiss watch.

Can't wait to see what kind of numbers this thing puts down on the dyno, especially after we redo the exhaust, VAC underdrive crank pulley and Miller 4" MAF kit!!!

It's an awesome feeling to put gas in my M3 after over a year of it not running!




Home sweet home!






A special thanks to my buddy Chris at Castro's Smog & Repair/Customs (our shop) and all the time he's put into all of my cars. I don't know where I'd be without him, words cannot describe my appreciation





Before any hate, the car is going to look MUCH better in the next few weeks! We just got the car running Friday afternoon to take it to Bimmerfest!

A list of things to come:

First oil change this Tuesday
Install 4" Miller MAF kit, VAC crank pulley, and re-pipe the exhaust
Remove H&R Race springs and install TC Kline coilovers
Install Vorschlag Race camber plates
Install larger sways
Install all new delrin bushings all around, reinforce front and rear subframes and rear trailing arms
Roll front and rear fenders
Put my staggered 17" ACS Type 2s on so the Type 1s can be sent to be de-chromed
Install Recaro LS seats
Sand down car, pull all the dents and paint the car flat black for now (will be painted techno violet after the s54 is in)

Congrats, this purchase was a no-brainer based on the title of your build thread :woowoo:

Ya, after seeing your amazing Mtech interior Rob, I decided to join the club.
