Very nice car. How much power are you putting down?

[M3 Ryan]

Kit is rated at 475hp, my buddy is just getting dyno installed and I will hook it up and see for sure... all I know is it's scary fast and a real rush!

[m3j0n]

what did you need to do to get the e36 m3 5-speed to work in that car? which clutch/flywheel are you using?

UUC 8.5lb flywheel with e34 m5 clutch. They are about $1100 and worth every penny. Holds all the power and has been in the car flawlessly for 7 years. The ZF 5spd came on S54's in the Z3M roadster so it's "stock" for this engine setup. Driveshaft is original to the car and trans brace/etc is original bmw as well.

Incredible car! I'm not so sure I'm into the 19s, but it's too great otherwise to matter.

[Court M3]

Love it! Can't wait to see it in person one day.

[Dagamus(NM)]

Surreal. Perfection.

[parkerbink]

Maybe 50 posts in last 6 years, I'd say that's low... maybe I should have said "I don't post much anymore" lol

[Powling]

Haha all good! It was early in the morning and coffee hadn't kicked in yet.

Just curious, what happened to the original S14 that was in it?

[M3 Ryan]

Sold it in 2011 to fund life. They are underpowered overrated engines anyhow
