I'll be looking forward to this!

woooo Asuka design ftw!

[.::M::.]

hell yeah man. only problem ive always had with the flossman kit was the front bumper. im sure youll change it up a little.

Thanks bro...Thanks for your talks regarding my rear fenders as well, I am still going to do the E30 flare mod on top of the Flossman flares I couldn't agree more on the front bumper...I appreciate feedback like this because it helps guide decisions along the way - The front bumper will have a major edit before finished, as will the front and rear fenders...I believe the fenders gills are a goner as well...If you cant tell the car is an M3 without them you shouldnt be into cars right?

beast!

Thanks

where did you get the cage your selling?

Subcribed

The cage I am selling is from Raven Motorsports in Canada - They will no longer import into the states because of the high cost of shipping / duties / etc...The prices on their site are for aluminum which they also no longer make - it was a PIA to get the cage and it got 0 use but believe its for the best - PM me if you have interests.

looks good man, cant wait to see it together!

Thanks a lot bro

Damn that Kit is nice !!!

Thanks!

fuk yes. was waiting for you to finally post this. can't wait to see how it turns out!

Ha thanks brother, and hope that you are entertained to follow the build! Thanks again

i think both ideas are super delicious, but i wish you could do that to 2 different cars. I dont know if its cool to kill that beautiful oem interior you have.. or had

if the car was mine i would just change the size of the wheels for 19" and call it a day, but is not mine lol.

i will be subscribed for epicness i guess?

Danny thanks for the feedback - I agree it is great to have each world, seperately - but at this stage I am dead set on the plans and while agreeing with you, am pretty pumped for the shaved pan and such once its completed...When done properly its still very "luxurious" - Heres hoping I can do it "properly" lol...You are right tho, "had" ha, thanks for following.

Car looked great before! sounds like you have even better plans for it though

Thanks bro

It's an unfair world.

Subscribed, though

Come take it for a spin once its complete, thanks mate

I'll be looking forward to this!

Thanks mate, hopefully the build doesnt take too long - The is in the details!

woooo Asuka design ftw!

Love the Asuka, took forever to find one and it was new - woohoo

Sorry for the delay with replying, I posted the thread from Hawaii and toured the islands for 2 weeks - Just walked back in the door an hour ago to go through the thread!

I should have the engine cover, studs, good many other odds and ends coming in very soon. I will update as frequently as I can, just nag at me if I am taking too long - itll motivate me ha!

Here are a few shots from the trip to share with everyone while checking in...I will request feedback on paint / wheel finish as time grows closer :

This was my inspiration for the floor pan...I saw this car at DC11 - the interior was just as clean as the exterior...I want to do more work with the dash/door panels/cage/seats but looking at the floor work you get the idea.

so glad to see some updates on your car, gonna be awesome when its finished, if your going for a more track setup tho id look into something other than the kwv3....AST would be a more track suited setup

Also Raven is starting to import the cages, got an email a few weeks ago that they found a better company to ship with so they will be easier to get from now on, but used is still prolly the easiest

[Icana4dit]

Love the choices in watches.

[Flavourless]

Painted floors are so much work but when done right they are amazing!!!

[JasonB]

Seriously, wow. Way to do it right

[DuBBINHaM]

Napkin plz!

Thanks man, school me on the coilovers as I dont know them from the hole in my ass...What are AST and price on them? How about Motons?

Not bad about Raven, glad they found a cheaper route, now if we could just cheat customs lol. I wish someone could pick mine up locally to save on shipping.

Love the choices in watches.

Thanks mate, watches are the reason this build is incomplete haha - my life, and basically career.

Painted floors are so much work but when done right they are amazing!!!

I agree, if done wrong its a huge fail - so its a bit scary...What do you say, painted floors or carpet?

Seriously, wow. Way to do it right

Thanks, means a lot - will take a while but once complete...I wont touch it or look back and regret anything

Napkin plz!

Careful with your keyboard!









Sorry for the delay! I have spent the last couple of days removing parts and also part of my rear quarter to prepare for the custom rear! I will get some updated pictures within the next week for you guys of the front fenders bolted up / bumper / rear bumper / possibly sides and my poor rear quarter panels missing a flare!

I will be leaving for NYC on Monday - so will post pics once there of its current form...The wheels will be made while I am gone to NY for 1 month so should have updates on those as soon as I return. Since I cant tinker from NY I will be ordering more mods while there so I can atleast share those updates until back with the car.

what do you do for a living? im doing something wrong

[.::M::.]

what do you do for a living? im doing something wrong

I "dabble" (nothing illegal)

I dont mind sharing my profession with everyone if you guys dont mind trailing OT for a bit

Anyone searching for a CSL console with all of the oem fixins? I leave for NYC Monday and will be carrying the console & parts, mirrors, nav and panelling along with a few other parts with me to ship from the city if anyone is to buy.


Removing the rear flares is a pain in the ass - I have been at it all day...during the process have a stranger driving a dodge truck stop by being nosy and telling me he did body work his entire life 20 years back...:. Continued to tell me that i shouldnt be cutting a part of my quarter panel off because I may need that - then he looks at the Flossman 1/4 and says "these aint even welded on here" - I say "those "aint" metal, they are carbon fiber and they are glassed onto the metal 1/4...."Oh, well you shouldnt cut into the pan......" I cut him off to say "I am busy doing something I shouldnt be doing so please leave me to it"

Mine ya biniss!

I would suggest reading the coilover thread on m3forum as a the one guy really goes in depth with a bunch of the setups and which is the best, i just dont know enough other than for performance you want something like the ast4100 which has linear springs which are better than what kw uses

[Semu]

That looks mean!
Can't wait to see it finished
