    Oh man. How much power are you looking at get? And I hope you've gotten that rear end a little more under control considering the addition of that turbo.

    What brand/colour name is the paint if you done it with rattle cans?
    It is spray paint. It is the dupli-color bronze wheel paint. It is discontinued and hard to find. You can still get it off ebay however.

    started a topic A junky e36 m3 gets a makeover.

    A junky e36 m3 gets a makeover.

    Here it is in the beginning about 2 months ago. My 95 M3.This thing has been abused

    It's been totaled about 3 times, but the price was right

    The car came equipped with:

    3.38 LSD
    Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
    JC software

    I really do wish I had more pics from when I first got it





    Since these pics, I have done alot of maintenance since it has left me stranded twice in 2 months

    -Water pump
    -DSSR
    -UUC tranny mounts
    -Motor mounts
    -Radiator

    I traded the XXR wheels it originally had for some 18x9 and 18x8.5 rotas. I also painted the calipers black, and de-tinted the windows.



    I never really like the blacked out look, so I painted them bronze and removed the Rota center cap



    I also added a Momo tuner steering wheel, some vintage momo pedals, a houndstooth shift boot, and a nifty shift knob. I also re-did the door panels in houndstooth.



    I then equipped the front wheels with 255/35 Bridgestones. A big step up from 225/40. I am pretty happy with the fitment. I may go lower, but this car gets driven hard.





    Oh yea, it's in the process of getting boosted as well





    I am going to clean it up and re-assemble everything and more pics will come after that.

    Until next time
