    E36 with a difference

    Purchased this car from a buddy of mine. Typically I've driven/slid around in older RWD cars, but I thought I'd give the 'modern' E36 a try.

    92 non-vanos M50, 5spd - can't be bad right?



    Did basic things, took it to a few track days, subframe fell off...




    Repaired that mess, got it aligned (all ok!), got coilovers and corrected the ride height...



    Cops didn't like our activites



    Went to the track more often, car was getting beat




    Then over winter, I decided it was time for some changes.






    As it stands:

    Coilovers
    Welded 3.91 diff
    Camber plates
    Buckets
    Stock M50 with headers and straight pipe into Tanabe 'muffler'
    M3 bumper and skirts
    15x8 -12 wheels
    Hydro ebrake
    Tie rod spacers
    No luxury stuff
    E30 headlights

    Awesome fun!

    E46 arms and E90 inners to go on, and paint asap.

        I let the wheels do some of it, then a concrete barrier interfered with one side... then I used a jack handle and a lump hammer to correct that.
        I will be making them a little better before paint, but the fact is.... they will get abused.

              I have video evidence if you guys are interested, but for some reason the [ youtube ] [ /youtube ] feature on this board doesn't seem to be working, so it'll just be a bunch of links...

                  Link works amazing, just a user issue. Take the code after the = sign and paste that in.
