chasis has approx 175K on the clock. the car already came with
'95 euro e36 m3 motor (approx 70k miles) zf 5 speed tranny brake cooling ducts feeding into the center of the rotors Bilstein shocks Vorshlag camber plates Sparco front strut bar Ireland swaybar a/c heater core delete custom cat-less exhaust with e36 m3 eisenmann muffler K&N intake SPAL electric fan Z3 shifter kit ![]() ![]() ![]() my initial plan was to strip out the whole interior, remove the sunroof, and install a custom welded roll cage. someone had expressed interest in my car, so i decided to keep it somewhat street friendly for now.

received an aftermarket evo3 spoiler with flap from germany the same day i took delivery of the car. very high quality, but no oem of course. just couldn't cough out $1400 for oem piece (the oem flap is not even CF)
![]() ![]() ![]() got it back from the paint shop the night before the first track day. so had to install it half way through the track day ![]() ![]()

it's a beast! it has about the same power to weight ratio as my s/c e46. except the e30 has stock 2.93 diff, so it "felt" slow accelerating out of a corner. i had a 3.73 LSD diff, but it was way too aggressive. i'm in a search for a 3.25 LSD diff. no footage so far. i've only took it to track once. i discovered i had a PS hose leak and SS brake line leak on the track, so it wasn't that good of a run anyway. my new roll bar should be here soon then i can paint it and install it and fit it with IO camera mount ![]()

with that much power on such light car, more powerful brakes are needed. problem is most bbk makers (brembo, stoptech, ap, etc) only make front kit for the e30. i wanted bolt-on kit for all 4 corners, and didnt' want to scavenge parts from other cars for the rear. so i got Lee's Massive Brake kit (www.massivebrakes.com). Lee has his shop build the custom caliper brackets and rotor hat, and uses wilwood rotor and caliper.
also fitted with vorshlag 90mm competition wheel studs front: 6pot SL6R caliper 300mm x 32mm slotted rotors rear: 4pot SL4R caliper 300mm x 32mm slotted rotors ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

just finished this latest mod yesterday...somewhat. i replaced recaro srd (came with the car) with recaro profi spg (bought from forum member ninekrpm, thanks again, buddy!). so i ended up buy the whole seat mounting kit from VAC motorsports.
i order the kit with floor mount, side mount and sliders, but the kit came without the sliders ![]() from this: ![]() ![]() to this: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() also installed NRG quick release hub, thin version. was gonna get the black one, but ordered the blue one by mistake ![]()
