R&R 318i Track Car - S50, itbs, cams, 5-lug, etc.

Next track day is 2 weeks and I have plenty of work cut out to get the car prepped. M50 is out since I bent most of the intake valves before my last track day. :( Good news is the S50 is awaiting some misc. maintenance items before I can get it back in!

Also have a GC 5-lug bastard kit w/ Koni race inserts coming in next week that should make the car a bit more fun. :D Pics coming tonight.

Do you guys use the shop for business or only for the toys?

Thanks mang. Shop is just toys, but I part cars out on the side and work on family/close friends cars.

Got it all back together last week, but had to shoot down to Florida for the weekend, but holy waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles is this clutch/flywheel setup awesome! Slipping is non-existent and wheel-spin is a must in order to get the car moving. Revs like a banshee now. Thinking about building a D-mod M52 engine for using the ITB's instead of messing around with S50/S52, since they have harmonic issues above 7K. Still need to pull the head on the M50 and see what kind of damage I caused...

Got my GC stuff in last week too. Front's are GC 5-lug bastard up front for 96+ M3 CA's, 95 M3 spindles, and Koni SA's with race valving that will handle up to 700lb springs. Rears Koni SA's with race valving and spherical lower mounts that will allow up to 900lb springs.



Have a track day this Friday, so I should have video footage up this week of everything in action.

Oh I miss understood you about the rears I thought the Koni's were like these with sphericals.
