e36 LSx track car build

[VaderTT]

Mini update, I'll add more when the rest of the parts come in.

But I decided to stay bmw and add some boost. Probably 15-20lbs out of a bottom mount billet 6262 on e85 shooting for 5xxwhp.

Here is the car as it sits.



Started stripping the uneeded interior bits for the rollbar and recaros.



Getting ready to throw the transmission back in with a new clutch/FW setup to hold the power.



Here is the new clutch setup, 10lb aluminum flywheel, Sachs HD custom pressure plate and a clutchnet 8 puck unsprung clutch ("stage5"). This fucker is light!! I plan on having it balanced as it is already going to cause gear chatter and noise.





Bottom mount manifold and motor mount that I went with.

Sorting out a common e36 issue, these cars have a tendency to break wires in the harness while still loomed so you can't see them. Here's what mine looked like, no wonder I had intermittent lights.




Oh, and I took out the sunroof casette/assembly. I'll be replacing it with an e36 specific CF plug from s2r.









I'll add some updates soon detailing my custon ramped, custom lockup 3.64 m3 lsd and the suspension stuff I've done.

I don't think it is going to fit. You should sell it to me for cheap.

You'd need another then, it's a t3/t4 6262.

Pass then. I am not looking to do a twin build.......yet.
