Suffered a major set back today with damaging my 330 wheels on Thursday .

had to fork out cash for new tyres and using m3 mags until I get them 330 refurbished .

Damn it.

Can't wait to get on the track .

Yoh. Whole interior stripped. That was quick.

 

[Stig46t]

end of day 4 . 18 hours in.

All i can say is ....how, how, how.
How do you run a panel raping business and repair an M3 like this with "blou draad" and cable ties ?

i keep telling her " Don't worry Firefly, we gonna turn you into "SUPABITCH! "

JUst a word of advice to guys out there buying M3's to drive on road...
Be careful what you buy. Make sure its ultra clean.

End of Day 6.

All i did tonight was clean the inside of the chassis. I just had to get rif of that dirty , dusty smell.
Spent a good 3 hours picking up bits, vacuuming, spraying a bottle of clean green through it , high pressure washer, and drying with rags.

I thought i wasted time, but looking at before and after photos i notice the difference. And just smells and feels so much better.

[Gizmo]

How can you improve on M3 headers?

 

[Stig46t]

How can you improve on M3 headers?

I hear you
I've also been questioning that.
I should really talk about a trial basis on that one .....

 

[Peter@AEW]

26 to strip and 260 to assemble at the very least.

Looking forward to the assembly

Out of interest why are you pulling the motor? (give it a refresh?)

.....and then some :fencelook: but that pleasure when it's all done!! like a drug, that's why we keep at it :thumbs:

 

[Stig46t]

Out of interest why are you pulling the motor? (give it a refresh?)

1. i want to make sure everything is perfect ,
2. also leaning on possibility of re-enforcing the internals now already for potential power upgrades in the future....


or as Ramone says below...:idea:

 

[Stig46t]

Right, .....

Project complete , that was easy ........
I wish .

[moranor@axis]

lol think you need to work on the panel gap around the door

 

[UpNcOmiNg!]

Sandblast the interior and cover with clear coat.
Paint is extra weight :fencelook:
