| One last post, for now. Last weekend I went to Virginia International Raceway with a buddy of mine. It is probably my last track experience with the e46 (building a dedicated e36 M3 track car with corvette engine), so I wanted to document the experience as best as possible Part 1 is the drive to VIR. The last bit of it is the best. That said, this video won't be nearly as interesting to you germans with your unlimited speed highway. We were going ~2x the speed limit the whole way, so it's a bit more impressive over here  Part 2 is a compilation of video from inside the car and the sidelines. It is not linear in any way, as my friend who was filming could only be at one corner each session. I attempted to make it as cohesive as possible and the turns do come up in the correct order throughout the video, but there are a couple places where cars disappear and reappear later. Limiting by what I had to work with :shiftdriv Part 3 is an entire session straight through, played at 8x speed to keep it interesting. This is the best of the 3 (as the high speed makes everything sound like F1 cars) and should not be missed-- if you watch only one part, watch part 3! Without further disclaimers, the video. First off, the entire video in high quality (probably requires newest quicktime (free): http://homepage.mac.com/ianlindvig/VIR_Experience.mov Seriously, watch the high quality version! On youtube (crap quality), Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Full video on google video: |

| Hi ! A really nice M3, the color combi is great Great photos, do you do this pictures, or somebody else ?  We are lucky about our unlimited speed Highways, but often is a lot of traffic on our "narrow" streets, so you can not drive very fast. Where are you from, which City ? You build a E36 M3 with a Corvette engine, do you have pics ? German car with an american V8 engine, really funny | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm from Philadelphia, PA. In the first series of pictures, that is actually the Philadelphia Art Museum behind me. The e36 doesn't look like much yet; it's our winter project. We're going to do an LS1 (corvette engine), which will be ~550hp and 500 ft lbs of torque with heads, cams, headers, and a basically straight intake. I'm taking welding class right now, and will be using it to make the fenders wider so we can run ~285 tires on all 4 corners. For suspension, we'll be doing something triple adjustable, probably ASTs or Motons. The car is completely stripped out and should weigh around ~2500lbs when we're doine with it  The idea of the Corvette engine in a BMW is very controversial here as well. I'm doing it because it's an amazing engine: -30mpg highway -reliable -unbelievable power gains from basic mods -CHEAP -sounds great It certainly won't feel like a BMW, but we should never have to take it out of 4th gear on the track .Pics:     | ||

| Real Fotostory: When I got home from the Performance Center, I had BBS RG-Rs, a V1, and aluminum pedals waiting to go in (all but the V1 since removed :roll      Because they were cheap and easy, xenon fogs and DDEs were next up     2nd day of ownership I took it to have clear bra installed (if anyone around PA needs that done, let me know- guy I used is great )    And to round out the protection package, added a laser jammer     Next came a series of little mods: OEM grocery bag holder (awesome!), OEM eurotray, iceLink plus ... and I did an autox     Next up was the first big snow I drove through... visiting some friends up in Maine. It was great      Next up I made the brake lights brighter, updated the nav software, got an OBIOBAN vanity plate (because of this forum), and got a photoblocking plate cover (since removed... by the police :roll    Suspension time! TC Kline Double adjustable, 500lb front, 600lb rear, GC race sway, GC hybrid FCABs, PF RTABs, TMS subframe kit... most of it I didn't bother to take pictures of :roll:    Then I drove though a pretty epic snow storm. It was the worst storm in the recorded history of NYC, and I drove through it at its peak! I saw 9 crashes occur that drive, as well as countless cars spun off the road or stuck. Still, I see no reason that should stop a lowered M3 :shifty: Sorry about pic quality, all taken with a moto razor which was all I had        Next up were some more big mods: CSL trunk and OEM video module (which I still haven't used for anything... just plugged the GNC into it to make sure it worked. I did get it for absurdly cheap, though, so... :roll            Some random pics I took      OEM bi color steering wheel with M threading came, and I took some terrible pics of it that made it look way too dark out of the car and way too bright in the car. In reality, it looks just like the rest of the OEM imola leather     Some random pics of the era:     Some track pics from an event I went to:         Got tired of replacing the front rotors so regularly, got some brembos. Also took some better pics of the Bicolor steering wheel       And then I finally stopped cheaping out and got some dedicated track wheels. Details here: Real pics of my 2 tone OEM 18 powdercoated track setup - BMW M3 Forum.com (E30 M3 | E36 M3 | E46 M3 | E92 M3)              Finally, the RG4s came. I have to say, these are my favorite wheels... ever. Unless my logical side finally talks me into going with 18s on the street, these will be the wheels that I run forever 19lbs each front, 20lbs each rear for 19x9s and 19x10s that let you run 265 fronts and 285 rears... and absurdly strong! :dance:          really foggy day, decided to take some spooky style shots:      Next up I wrapped the headliner in alcantara. Had the headliner out for another project, so it wasn't that much extra work... kind of a PITA to attach the alcantara, but not overly hard:       And then we were back into snow season :roll:         Some random rolling shots and pics taken by CMT (chris) Neel: (car is REALLY dirty )             but then it was time for the traditional spring FULL detail (50 hours of cleaning :banghead           |
