ubiquitous

This is a good one to compare to- same dial: From your link:

Be careful if using the Cape Cod! If you get a little too overzealous in polishing, you'll remove the brushed finish.

I had a quick glance- Looks okay to me.

I purchased and received an item from Asim; purchase initially made in late July/early Aug and rec'd Sept 1st.

I was initially thinking a nice birth year 6536 or 5508, but staying in the $5k range is not gonna happen

While the S85 V10 is a big engine, I'm not sure how much it weighs over the S14 that originally came in that E30 M3, which I'm pretty sure was a cast iron block. The V10 is cast aluminum; if they mounted the motor as far back and as low as they could, handling could still be pretty neutral, I think. That would largely depend on what kind of weight distribution they were able to achieve. Also, we're dealing with weight up front with (massive) power being driven from the rear. It's not like a big heavy motor going into the nose of a FWD (where big understeer would be a problem). Since they changed all the suspension pick ups and swapped subframes with E90 M3 parts, it would be interesting to see how this thing behaves on the track.

Hmmmm.... 50 is a milestone year. I say make it a gen 1680 if you do buy a Sub... You should be able to pick up a decent one for around the same range as a new 16610 (maybe a couple grand more for a late red), but loads more character in my opinion

She'll be 3 this Oct!

Oct 2nd... Same day as my little girl!

16520...

Looks nice, Lani! I may pick this one up... But only with a trip to Chief for the Crystal...

I think you'll have to commission one. As for the clipped 'Swiss'... I believe that's just an illusion from the crystal... Edit: On second look, that is the rehaut covering it...

All this talk of food... Making my stomach grumble...

Hope it's been a great day, T and P! Cheers! //ubi

Yes, yes yes!

Joined Feb 22, 2009, and just now getting around to buying your first Must have been doing quite a lot of research, eh? Congrats and enjoy... I'm sure it won't be your last...

Mmmmm... Shoyu chicken. Yum, yum! I'll have some of that... With some onigiri and takuan, please

Glad to see you around! Been a long time, Davey!

Try Homer? Or PT, I think?

I've always thought the E30 M3 to be a classic- I think I appreciate that body design better than any of the other M3's with it's flared fenders and old school boxy looks. When I first opened that thread, I was worried about the potential of a butchered monstrosity that I'd see with a V10 shoehorned into it's engine bay; suffice it to say, I was very surprised (and relieved) to see what appeared to be a rather clean and stock looking body with the completed pics. Well done with a lot of custom fabrication to get things right. Wonder what kind of behavior and performance this beast has on the track?

Ingy for today... Soon to have a motor swap...

It's a classic... Simplicity... Sharp and clean... Very nice! I think I prefer the Railmaster over the Explorer I for aesthetics. Looks great, Lani!

Looks good! May have to add one to my list

Correct, Lani! 22mm lugs on this one...

Now that's what I'm talking about! And to have CAD and CNC resources available at your disposal... That opens up a lot of possibilities with being able to do some great stuff Would love to see some pics of the project if you have them!
