    I´m a mechanical engineer. I run a couple of companies in 3d graphics,
    web design, compositing/effects.

    I recommend you stay in school, work hard, don´t do drugs and don´t
    drink too much

    I´ve worked hard for a long time for the stuff I´m doing now which
    makes it even sweeter.

    A week until I pick up the car & head for the Ring...... can´t wait!!!

    Here are some pics from when they were test fitting the new front bumper -
    hope that I will not have to use that tow hook.....




    The new bumper has less airflow to the oil cooler and radiator for the
    cooled intake. However, this should be enough - from what I have read the
    openings have to be at least 25% of the frontal area of the cooler:

    Give me headaches
    I just sold my m3 before xmas and have been dreaming of an e30 m3 project ever since. After stumbling on this thread I now have new hope again. I have been planning on sticking with an s14, but after this I may just have to do a swap of some sort

    Fantastic car, and the build was done just right. The dry sump and sc on a euro motor just really set it off. And as far as the carbon work goes . I would only add a carbon dash and try to get a good polish on the wheels. Also the oil lines will defenitly get ruined if left like that coming through from the trunk. Fantastic build and thanks for the new hope.

    I have also never seen those carbon/kevlar bumper supports in the picture that carreraboy posted, is that for the special bumper?

    Current: e24 - e28 - e34 - e36/8 - 993 - 914 - w124 - w210 - urs6 - P71 CV - t100

    There will be rubber grommets installed to prevent metal-to-metal rubbing.

    The bumper mounts were supplied with the bumper from www.e30shop.de.

    Just got an email from Sebastian Tauber:

    "We put an middlesilencer from an BMW E46 M3 in your car, you can see it on the picture.
    tüv-time was great. your car is officially proofed. ;-) and ready for the nuerburgring.
    the tüv-man was very exited, and left us with an big smile on his face.
    I get the documents on Wednesday."

    Not bad

    Now there are only some small jobs left and some cleaning.

    Here are some pics:

    Picked up the car yesterday..... all good except that it is running too rich
    and is not delivering all the power Will be fixed after easter - cannot
    use the power now anyways, it´s snowing at the Ring.

    Here are some pics from when we picked up the cars from Tauber:
















    And here is a pic from the Ring - interesting conditions:

    my guess would be almost double that. The body and the engine is probably around 20-25.000 euro without any work, thats almost $ 35.000. Then you have to add all the modifications and all the hours at Tauber.

    I know what Ive spent on my car and Thordur has spent more.. I believe

    Back from the Ring. Interesting trip - lots of snow and bloody cold!!!





    Also got to drive the GP track which was very interesting - much nicer track than I
    had expected.

    Unfortunately my car was having power/boost issues all weekend and finally the
    supercharger gave up. So now I will have to get it rebuilt. The good thing is
    that now I will get all the power back

    I am surprised that you drove the car that hasn't been 100% sorted out, if it had the power/boost issues, the supercharger failure was only a question of time
    Good luck on the rebuilt !

    Well yes and no. We did not suspect that the SC itself was the culprit.
    If I had known that it was about to go I would not have driven the car.

    It looks like the bearings on the central shaft have given up - alot
    of play in the shaft and the ends of the blades were bent. The funny
    thing is that there were no giveaway sounds.

    The guy that did the engine in my M5 is going to the manufacturer
    next week to work on their SC kit for the E92 M3. He is going to
    take the supercharger to them and either get it fixed or get
    a new one.
