    I remember when it was on sale. Amazing find and good information on the wing. I'm currently wingless and I'm getting more and more serious about getting one...

    Yawn... Another 2k in the bucket!

    You kidding me. That’s local to me. My wife works in that town.

    Btw your wing pics look awesome. Would love that.

    Awesome!! I do remember the car on craigslist and was wondering what happened to it. Glad to see the car has made its way into the right hands! Please, please keep the thread updated, not like some other threads.

    Great find and great story! What's the lastest with the car? Any new pics you can share now that you've got it home? Curious what the interior looks like?

    Hey Maxx, paint it with some of the carbon still showing... Just a thought.

    Forgive my ignorance, did some googling and couldn't find much. What is a Stickley S52 and is it "plug and play" with a normal US E36 M3? I'm sure it's over my budget but I could use a new engine so I'm curious...

    As in Chuck Stickley Motorsports.. a legendary S50 engine builder. In 2014 I heard he retired and moved to Canada. I also thought I heard he had passed away. (No idea if true, I’m sure someone will post up.)

    Yes, Chuck was the magic man with S5X engines. Yes, he's out of the game now, and in Canada, but as far as I know he's still alive. Need to get my rear end in gear and start working on this car!

    So how much are you selling the S52 for? And can it run on 93 octane?

    $9000.00 It can be re-tuned to run on 93 octane

    Stickley engines are good … but … seriously? Good luck I guess
