Ski's M20 build thread

The only flares I like on an E21: http://stancewords.stanceworks.netdn...e-gruppe-5.jpg

You can still buy the e30 m3 sheet metal straight from bmw. The only tough part is getting one of the rear quarter panels unless you have an e30 m3 vin. My friend is turning his e30 into an m3 the right way and bought every piece new. Including the rear window/c-pillar area. I remember him saying he had to find a german importing company willing to buy the remaining quarter panel from bmw and ship it to him since bmw wouldn't sell it to him directly without an e30 m3 vin.

I was looking for the E30 M3 panels and I found the front fenders here in Vegas, but after closer look and calculations......it just wouldn't work

I believe there used to be a bodykit made, but it was a long time ago... Someone I knew had a white e21 323i with that kit installed. His car looked just like the one on the photo above. He also had M stripes painted across the whole car.

I was back in the early 90's and I do not know who made the kit or where he got it.

I found these on ebay and didn't remember seeing them mentioned here before. Smaller but sheet metal.

I say leave the V12 in the front engine position, but balance out the weight distribution with another one in the trunk.

And after 6 weeks of waiting for the custom pulley from RMS Van Nuys CA.....I got the wrong size pulley!! They send me an 8" and I need a 10 inch....what a disappointment I tell ya !! Kinda pissed off......called them, told em to pull up the emails ref the size and 3 week wait time and the guy was baffled.....has no clue how things went this wrong. Well, he told me he's call me back tomorrow, Friday.....so we will see how fast they can make this custom crank pulley?!?!?!?

[amarino]

Is that a picture of Amirs backyard already?

[lasvegascop]

Hahahahahaha! How did you guess? It's not backyard, it's the sideyard sir

[lasvegascop]

Still waiting on the pulley!!!!!!!! Spoke to the owner last week about it......Miller WAR chip is scheduled to be delivered today.....I had to send it in cause I bought it on eBay as a new never installed and it had files missing and wouldn't boot up! So Miller in Canada kindly took a look at it so as soon as it gets here I will post pics

Now as soon as the pulley shown up, here we go, back to fab work!!!!!

[lasvegascop]

OK Cool!!! WAR chip is here!!! Got it yesterday.....And I got a phone call that the pulley was done and mailed today!!!! Sweet!! Can't wait....it's been too long!!

[Somjuan]

So I am still waiting for the pulley!!! I call once a week and I get the same thing....it's on the lathe and we'll send it out Friday....It's been months now!!! Good workmanship, shitty timing!!!
I'm a tiny bit disappointed to be honest!

It is rather ridiculous, especially while not having a reasonable pricing structure in place.

This is one of the reasons why I have my own services at home (old but functioning ). Unlimited bandwidth and no restrictions.
