nice work! i've just one question... for what i know USA's E36 M3 do not have the euro S50 but a Tuned m52 328 engine... wouldn't be better to stroke the stock engine to 2.7 and maybe add some aggressive camshafts?

[m.skinnes]

I Love your work! Following on Instagram aswell!

[MartinsElerts]

Oh come on
1 minute of looking at this build and I want to redo my built.
So jealous of those wheels
Great to see another e30 brought back to life.
Awesome thread

If you do that and we have done a motor like that. You get a compression someplace in the 11:1 range along with higher torque figures. The only problem is no one makes any tune for that so your stuck with running a S50 with mods tune and it's not that close

Yeah we just started doing the whole Instagram thing about a month ago. Thank you!

ha ha.. It's not that awesome is it? Im sure your car is sick!

So for the most part the Headliner is done came out great!
I need to clean it up; vacuum and wipe it down but that's later.


Both of the side windows are done:


Glad I ordered all new seals, etc. But they are hard to install as they are super tight and new:


Rear Glass went in:




Another view of the headliner:


Side Trim going on:

Oh and all the glass got a light tint before being installed. I think it was 15% Performance 3M.
Looks dead on but will know for sure once the car has all it's glass in it and outside.

I will put the all red tails back on. Had to use them on another project.

I dont like the offset of the 5 lug conversion. Plus I have a very nice set of RS wheels in 4x100
And I do have everything to do a 5 lug conversion. Ehh at the time I didnt want to. And I still want to keep it 4x100 for the time being.
