As per typical, a meeting just got pushed back so I have some extra time cause some guy's kid of course got sick.
I bought this car as a replacement track car for the GSX. My intentions are/were to make this an autocross/track/weekend only car. With hopes of entering it into TTD (track) and being completely uncompetitive in STU (autocross). I wanted the car to be NA, rwd, and somewhat light with relatively inexpensive consumables, but still have enough balls where I wouldnt regret it after a few months for having no power.
This left basically a corvette and m3. The only corvette I wanted was a z06, and then I found out how expensive 315 and 335 hoosiers were...(440 a tire, ouch). I decided against an E46 due to their myriad of engine problems and landed myself into a lightly autocrossed prepped 99 Alpine White m3.
Recent maintenance performed by previous owner:
┬À fifth gear bushings replaced to fix the ÔÇÿstickingÔÇÖ issue
┬À drive shaft guibo
┬À center support bearing
┬À front control arm bushings
┬À rear wheel bearings
Wear items like tires, brakes, clutch, etc are all in good shape or close to new.
Previous owner mods:
┬À Bilstein sports and h&r coils (
┬À TMS sways
┬À X brace
┬À Zimmerman cross drilled rotors (
┬À aluminum front underpanel
┬À conforti cold air box
┬À urethane trans mounts
┬À short throw shifter
┬À euro ellipsoid headlights
┬À removed clutch CDV valve
I took delivery of the car and had a blast with iht. Absolutely no problems and proceded to start to autocross it. Then blew a powersteering hose (apparently typical), and so I gotta replace that, but hopefully no more issues. Plans included some type of exhaust (like to hear where I am on track/autocrossing) a roll bar, pads, etc. Basically track prep.
Recently purchased and installed/in the middle of installing:
UUC RSC36 Cat-back Exhaust
TCKLINE Roll Bar
New G-force harnesses
Aluminum Seat Mounts
PFC06 track pads all the way around
blank rotors for track pads
17x9 T1R Motorsports wheels (16lbs woo) with 245 hankook closeouts
UUC teflon coated SS lines
M50 Manifold (still undecided wether im going to install it
Plans include:
Oil Pan Baffle
Oil Pressure/Temp Gauge
Different Shocks/Springs (maybe AST setup)
Sway Bar Reinforcement plates
Front subframe reinforcement plates
(maybe) track headers and mid-pipe
