I'll try this again. Phone kind of posted twice, then the thread went blank so any mods that see this please delete the other two!!
Hello everybody I've been lurking around this forum for a while now and never thought I'd actually have something worthy of my own build thread (still don't but I'm bored) so I decided to make one.
The car is a 99 E36 M3 that I purchased from the original owner. The plans for the car at first were never anything like what's going on now. After a few weeks I began the process of making it a N/A street/auto x/ track day car just to have fun. The car was at around 250whp and 250wtq and was quick and nimble. I took the car up to the track in Epping a few times to see what it could do where I met butters, Phil and Greg and their e36s. Shit felt like initial d I sware lol. After that I just couldn't be satisfied with my n/a car and decided to start doing research into going turbo. I spent 2-3 months piecing together the parts that would get me to around my goal power based on that research.
I met Greg (modaddict) when I bought his pair of momos off him through Craigslist and then after talking to him about my goals and seeing his two amazing m3s he introduced me to butters. Since day 1 butters has been the most stand up awesome dude I've ever had work on any of my cars. I texted him that night and he called me up the next morning and spoke to me for almost an hr on the phone while he was working to sort of guide me with my next steps and what can be done. After picking up a few more things needed I finally drove the car up and dropped it off to butters with the stuff I had bought.
Now that the car is almost done I thought it'd be cool to make a thread to sort of highlight everything that's been done. I'll be posting a list of parts and pictures that I have of everything. If butters and Greg see this please feel free to chime in! You guys have been awesome to me since day 1!

It was there an hour or so ago.. now it's gone...
Magic
I have no idea why. I messaged two mods about it already. I read all the rules and don't think I broke any so Idk what's going on. It just disappeared. I was just about to start putting up pics as I was waiting until I got home from work.
I have my original post copied, anyone mind if I just paste it in a reply and we can just go from there. I'm scared it'll all just get deleted again though.

I think there was a confusion from mod side in cleaning up your threads. One of the others should have been kept as-is, with the posts here merged into it, so maybe first post was deleted here intending to merge it into one of the others, but then you deleted first post on one thread and mod deleted/closed the other.
There's no problem if you re-post into this one. Interested to see what this build was about anyway! (and see what the car looks like, since you're just down the road from me...)

Yea I see. I dont know how that happened. I never deleted any posts or anything. I just posted my first thread and then came back a few minutes later and noticed it double posted and I asked for one to be removed. Then all of a sudden my original post on the one I wanted to keep was gone too. I'll quick reply the original post and we can just go on from there. I also use lunapic to host my images since it's easy to resize them for forums, dont know if that was an issue or not. I'll repost the original post and pics shortly. Actually heading up to butters shop now to pick up my wheels and go over some stuff.
heh. I'm headed to SR powdercoat in Bow in a bit. Maybe I'll pass you on the road somewhere.

Will be updating this thread with pics tonight! Had a chat with butters yesterday at his shop and he had a very cool idea that I had in the back of my mind. Let's just say things are going to get a little toasty by the front fender.

Can others see them? On iOS is no go... They all just point at a lunapic home page.

I cant see anything, wth is going on here xD
I used lunapic which uses Imgur but apparently they can't be viewed on mobile. They're all viewable on pc though. Sorry about that. What does everyone else use for the pictures?

Try with Photobucket or ImageShack to host pics. I can neither see pix on my PC nor on my phone. Don't use imageur since they don't like us ...
I'll repost all the pictures using imageshack or photo bucket later on for those who can't see them. Thanks for the advice auaq
Yeah. On PC now, still no worky. imgur pic links seem tricky w/ vBulletin I think.

IMGUR hosted pics don't show in BfC... BfC pissed them off and they got perma banned... you have to use another host.
Subscribed. Pics work fine on tapatalk. They are in post 15
