Nice! Looking forward to pics of that awesome exhaust.

[flipm3]

Sounds absolutely insane!

What are your impressions on the KW Competitions?

[VSmotorsports]

Wow that looks like a lot of fun grinding all the seam sealer and under body. We were going to do that but decided to alkaline bath instead. Good job guys!

[Tarmac_E46_M3]

Where is your battery located? I'd guess not by the fuel system... lol.

[Raiku898]

What a stud. My car wants to be like that when it grows up...

[vongeiss]

This thing looks awesome! +1 for fly by vids

[mastek]

Very clean build.
Whats the weight?
What is the whp?
How many hours on motor before rebuild?

[Tarmac_E46_M3]

they said 460 BHP. so I guess factor for a 17-19% drivetrain loss. more or less.

[GummyWermz]

wow..only if i have the skill to drive one of this.

[Brian_VACsales]

Tarmac - sorry for the delay. We are working on something now, hope to have more in the next 3-4 weeks.

It was built for endurance racing..a bit heavy.
Current engine was removed. It made ~370 on our Dynapack. Remember, it's a 3.2.
It was an endurance, not sprint engine. Have not explored the limits yet.

This car, what we called the Silver Bullet II was sold in the last few weeks. No worries, we will have another one coming together soon

[Tarmac_E46_M3]

nice... what's your take on a car serving as a DD and occasional track purposes, with your 3.5L stroker kit, as far as reliability goes?

Or, pushing the stock engine for more power, but being "reliable" enough to serve as a DD still? what parts do you recommend?

one more question... what are your thoughts on tuning the S54 for E85?

[m3_csl_e46]

Nice monster..

[Rosspbig]

Why did you guys install the AIM data/dash display but then decide to run those analog gauges?

[Tarmac_E46_M3]

My car is slowing growing up to be like this car... just need some more power mods!

Driver preference, redundancy.

Well, as you know from talking to Chris, we can help ;-)

Yessir... And I need to save up more money to spend on the car!

Cams (rockers, springs/retainers, etc) are in the near future, I've already priced everything from your site, now I've set a goal to reach! But.. before that, I want to get my extra set of ITBs port and polished by you guys.

Sounds like a plan. We just sent a set off...I can document your 'build' when you send it in

[Tarmac_E46_M3]

Yeah, that would be cool. assuming you basically just need every bit of info on the car so far... lol.

here's my thread from another forum: http://forum.E46Fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=866961

Its a bit cluttered though. only very important thing I need to do is fix my airbags; since I pulled the stock seats, the light came on. I need to figure out how to fit a resistor or something to make it think its still there.

[Tarmac_E46_M3]

also, is there a way to close off/get rid of the charcoal canister? I understand it weighs around 10 lbs total.

[Tarmac_E46_M3]

Ok, not sure if I'll get an answer today, since it's already getting late, but I'll try to ask here anyways...

My cooling system (orginal from 99k miles ago >:\ ) is not so great right now, runs a little warmer than it should.

So, my question is, who do you all recommend I go with? I'm thinking the Zionville E46 M3 cooling kit. I believe it only comes with 1 fan, should I get 2 electric fans?

Or, what do you (VAC) recommend? This is a street driven car, mostly, but will see autox and track for fun.

CA street car? Why not leave it?

Great kit, we love to sell them. The single fan should work just find for your uses. Ask Chris for a quote, he can hook you up!
