Ryan Castro's Avus Blue LS1 M3 Project (Non-e30) *With Vids*

[iwantspeed]

i saw this at the sunday meet and didnt even recognize you.

So much lime.

Needs 2 more doors to appeal fully to me, but I think it's fucking awesome. LSx is too much for a short wheelbased trailing armed chassis like an E30, but an E36 seems like it would be just right.

Car looks amazing man, I love it.

I think it's low enough and seems still easily drivable. What's it on?

[kalib0y]

You sold your E36 widebody and going to E30 sounds like me but now you are back to
E36's I do miss mine...

Your new E36 looks like a very fun toy!

Yeah, E36s have always been my dream car since I was 13 so there is a special place in my heart for them

Holy shit I should probably get an lsx. That looks hella fun!

Do it!

I wondered how long you could stay away from a e36. Looks good!

I tried as long as I could and it only took 1year to suck me back in

looks goood,

Love that concave

Thanks!

2 more pics taken this morning and 1 question...



After taking this pic in the sun...do you think I could use some more low?

Back to E36?

yep, this is my 3rd one.

1. My widebody turbo E36 (sold to for wedding expenses and wifes ring):



2. My 96 M3 (cut tire on fwy, put it into the center median :(. I really miss this one)

[cbouchez]

Back to E36?

in general, what kind of power are we talking about?

I'm not an LSx guy. So i'd be lieing to you if i said lol. I like my LTx's. I do know that every little mod you do to the LSx wakes it up more and more.

YES to head and cam work!!!! Nice set of roller rockers and good push rods to go along with it also?

thus far besides the given long tube headers, is an LS6 intake manifold, 4in intake. I still have to dyno tune the car and have the tachometer adjusted. I hope to be doing some head and cam work fairly soon I will post up more pics and vids soon as I go

[JasonC]

Whats all done to the engine?
