Never planned to make one of these however, slowly but surely the mods have added up and I think its time. So lets back track a little.

Bought the car in April of 2015 in Omaha Nebraska with 50k miles

IMG_2412

IMG_2405

I drove it home and immediately made a few aesthetic changes. I added carbon splitters and wrapped the hood vents and side markers black.

IMG_2466

Than it was time for wheels. Avant Garde M359s with MPSS

IMG_2526

Added a lip spoiler and LCI tails

IMG_2938

I decided that the AA exhaust note was too muffled and went with an ACM exhaust mod. Saved a few bucks but yes its a bit heavier. Worth it IMO. I also added test pipes and got an ESS tune.

IMG_2944

I decided to paint it black and then put on some EAS tips (not pictured). Looks a lot darker in person and is essentially invisible when on the car which is what i like.

IMG_2946

I then got bored of the M359s and bought ARC8s and wrapped them in an RE11. I think this is one of the best pictures of my car. Something about the angle idk haha.

IMG_2923

Eventually winter rolled through and i bought some F14s from a buddy and wrapped them in blizzaks. It became a drift car for a few months

IMG_3911

IMG_3998

Come Spring time i bought some Ohlins R&T and got some summer wheels. Some may dislike the OEM look but i dig the ZCPs, real ones, the Avant Gardes don't look right and the paint peels haha. Since the car sees the track a few times a season i bought 4 rears to make a square set and wrapped those in 265 35 Sport Cup 2s. What a tire.

IMG_4155

IMG_4286

After a day at NCM motorsports park i found out that 90mph on curbing will make the fronts rub. Like really rub. Like crack both fenders rub.

IMG_4324

So now its repair time. I have two new fenders awaiting paint and some new carbon splitters. The old ones are a bit chewed up. I have big plans for the car this summer. APR splitter, type 2 diffuser, Alcon brakes, and possibly new seats are all to come.

I love everything you've done. Nice to see all the changes in one post. What size are those ARC8s? They look so sharp!

Thanks! They're 19x10 et25. 275 30 19 RE11s all around.

Very nice! How did you crack your fenders?!

Tires are bit wide in the front. When i rubbed up against the curbing on the high speed turns at NCM the suspension compressed so quickly that the wheel hit the fender and cracked it.

Jack14 · 05-22-2016, 08:56 PM

Put on My Vorsteiner type 2 diffuser today. Fits great!

6ixSpd · 06-16-2016, 11:46 AM

Any more photos from the rear angles? The painted lip spoiler + diffuser combo work great!

335m · 06-16-2016, 03:20 PM

How was the handling of the arc-8s? I have been thinking of doing that exact setup but with some PSS 275/30s lowered on my KW-V3s.

catch · 06-18-2016, 02:36 PM

Good looking car!

Crazy that they cracked the fender like that! wow

Tire is going to affect the handling but as far as the wheel goes its relatively light weight for a 19inch wheel and i had mine in square set up, which with a good alignment will get the back end loose pretty nicely. Definitely more prone to oversteer.

Jack14 · 06-30-2016, 03:31 PM

Haven't updated in a while but heres a little hint at whats coming. Hopefully ill be in the shop tomorrow to get some more pics of the cage and all the other goodies that are making their way into the chassis.

Hoosier_M3 · 06-30-2016, 08:56 PM

Looks like Bloomington is going to have another M3 racecar

Jack14 · 07-01-2016, 05:19 PM

Stopped by the shop today to dial in seating position and drop the brakes off. Guess that seat!

What brand of pedals are those?

Jack14 · 07-05-2016, 03:20 PM

Seats are getting ready to go in. Harness mounts are almost done and seat mounts are set.
