Congrats Jimmy, I figured you would win something. You did a good job transforming it from where it was. Good work.

Just went through the whole build; looks unreal Jimmy.

I've always wanted an E46 M3... this thread didn't help

How do you fit the baby seat and stroller in there?

Excuse the garbage pictures, my phone has a cracked camera lens and I'm too poor to buy another phone, you'll understand why if you've been following this build. Lol

Another update.

After Driven I did a couple of pulls and on my way home I noticed a squeaking sound from the rear end. Turns out I cracked the rear subframe mounting location on the chassis. So, I had to drop the subframe and weld in re-enforcement plates. While we were in there I changed a bunch of bushings and added some other upgrades:
-Redish Motorsport Re-enforcement plates
-AKG subframe bushings
-Revshift trans mount bushing
-Whiteline FCA bushings
-Longer rear wheel studs (65mm)
-12mm hubcentric spacers
-SPL Titanium Rear Control Arms


Installed a custom spec OS Giken LSD with an adjusted torque ramp rate to try and save the stock axles. So far so good! The car drives totally different, has a ton more rear grip and I haven't killed anymore axles. Next up, some DSS axles and upgrade to an OS Giken R3C clutch. I have the STR2CD right now but we're getting pretty close to it's recommended capacity.

Planning on dropping engine on the 8th, disassemble and start building. Goal is 850-900whp, pretty much aim to max out what the turbo can do.

Engines out, time to build this thing.
