this car is awesome, what are you selling for? Hopefully staying in racing...

Eric1H
03-31-2008, 09:58 PM
yeah staying in racing, just moving up to something with more power/V8

car has been totally sorted out, literally every weak point in an e36 has been addressed. Clean title, no accidents.

I'd say its a solid mid to mid front pack car. It is by no means a front runner like David Whites car, but should run solid 2:09-2:11s with a good driver and some hoosiers. For a front runner like David White's you'd probably spend another 15-20k at least. hell he probably has that in just motorworks.

I ran low 1:23's at Roebling, 2:14's all day at VIR, with better tires and driver It has much more in it. I'm just not pushing it 100% and beyond.

not even close...probably not much more than you have in your motor...junkyard 3.2, sunbelt cams, injectors, intake, supersprint headers, tuning...also have an oil cooler and dual sump oil pan but those don't add power...

my 3.2 makes good power but not big power like some tend to think...what makes an IP car fast is a good suspension that is properly dialed in, not so much horsepower...

I stand corrected :( I had heard you had the motor built pretty stout and had just about everything that can be done legally done to it. Sorry about the misinformation.

what makes your car fast too, is the fact you drive the friggin wheels off it! ;-)

dmwhite
04-02-2008, 11:50 AM
left out one thing, we had the head refreshed on the junkyard motor (no tricky parts though)...motor is strong, but actually not much more power than my 3.0 made (another stock motor with sunbelts in it)...imho, there's no need to dump a bunch of money into a motor rebuild since you can't really do anything (legally) in prepared other than cams/injectors/intake/exhaust...

good luck with the sale...the way IP seems to be growing right now, you should be able to sell it fairly quickly...

You said you addressed all the problems with the e36 -- I just got a 95 m3 and it seems to push pretty bad, did you have a similar problem ? If so how did you fix it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

non staggered wheels, sticky tires, loads of suspension tweaks, stiffer springs, stiffer sways. A little trail braking and throttle steer helps too! :-D

Come on, noone wants a solid IP car? car is ready to drive on track, fresh fluids!

The e36 track market just doesn't have a ton buyers in it right now. But there is someone out there who wants this car and is willing to pay your price, which seems fair for the car. It might take some time, but you'll get it sold (coming from someone who just sold my other e36 m3 track car). Is it on all the sites possible? CCACR, roadfly, turner, bimmerfest? Mine ended up selling by word of mouth, so the more places it's listed the better.

I had it 2+ years, I'm a project guy, when the projects done, i get bored, did the same thing with my 350z, then the Viper, then the M, and now onto a new project. never kept a track car more than 2 years.

Thanks for the bump. I found the Panoz I want, now to sell this one!

For anyone who cares, I just had a full inspection done on the car by a local race shop www.apexvintage.com (http://www.apexvintage.com) With the exception of a few little nitpicky things the car checked out great.

One of the things they noticed was the power steering lines were leaking so I replaced those tonight. Car is ready to sell!

Eric1H
06-16-2008, 10:23 AM
Denis, i thought about it, but it is entirely to much work, i did the math and I could easily get quite a bit more out of it by parting it out, but it would defeat the purpose of all the work I've done over the past 2 years and take way too much time, that with a new baby on the way I do not have. Thanks for the input though.
