the beefy build
Parts are starting to trickle in, some are in the mail, and some are being built. This thread is going to be focused on the vision I have for this car, however silly, and sometimes that changes. I do my best at something, but I also change my mind, and make mistakes. The objective; to build a lightweight, beautiful, E92 M3 that is an absolute pleasure to drive.
Suspension; -Moton 2-way coils with remote reservoirs and true rear coilovers. 550 pound springs up front, 400 pound springs in the back. -Full SPL catalog. -Fall Line rear LCA for true rear coil (SPL doesn’t make this part yet) -Ground Control camber race camber plates -MRF solid subframe bushings, delrin diff bushings *already on the car DCT; -Fluid and filter change -Fall line DCT pan -Do88 cooler Lightweight bits; -Carbon hood- talking with Luke Customs (to be used with aerocatch latches) -Carbon trunk- talking with Luke Customs (to be used with aerocatch latches) -Searching for carbon trunk floor -Searching for carbon gt2 mirrors (RKP) -Carbon gas tank service covers in the mail -Finish removing all sound insulation and carpet -Find more things to drill -A/C delete -More titanium -Team Schirmer carbon door (oem replicas) -Plastics4performance rear window and rear quarter windows -Titanium tow hook/straps -Voltphreaks VPH900 battery Engine and drivetrain; -Karbonius intake -AFE xpipe (high flow cats, resonated) -Vorsteiner type two titanium rear exhust -Mfactory carbon driveshaft -Drexler GT4 “lite” LSD by Florian, oem DCT 3.15 ratio -Thinking of mild cams, but this is going to depend on budget -Tune Aero; -Zebulon front splitter with 3D endplates -Aeromotions S1 Dynamic wing. 72” width, 13” chord, extended uprights. -Still exploring a flat floor and a real rear diffuser -APR spats -OEM GT4 canards Brakes; -Essex parts cp5060 (front) and cp5040 (rear) AP Racing brakes -Speigler stainless brake lines -Cobalt Friction Pads -SRF fluid Seats -Sparco QRT-C seats (12.5lbs each) -Brey Krause seat mounts for oem sliders (non-powered seats) -Brey Krause harness bar -Simpson Hybrid S HANS device -Undecided on harnesses (I need some guidance and research here) I'm going to expand on a couple of things a little later when I have time, particularly aero. I'll do some videos on a few parts here and there as they arrive. Its going to be amateur hour, don't expect great vids. I'm completely open to debate and discussion.

Oem DCT ratio just seems good. I don't have any complaints.

Why motons instead of MCS?

Hard to compete against a steep discount.

no real reason other than a track friend was going to give them to me, but i insisted he let me give him $1k for them. they were a bit old and needed an extensive rebuild.
i always kinda wanted the motons since they are regarded as "better" than mcs, but i couldn't tell you why- i didn't dive down that rabbit hole yet. my friend's generosity made my decision clear.

the rebuild turned out to be more expensive than i thought, and i still came out ahead. i sent them to performance shock, inc., at the recommendation of a few trusted sources. two of the cannisters had internal scoring, indicating possible mounting problems where the reservoir was squished out of round. the hoses were slightly kinked from being stored for a few years. i got two new reservoirs, four new hoses, all new seals, and the springs tested for $4k. mrs beef was not happy with me.

this process has been overwhelming in a good way. some things i want to do myself, and some more technical things like suspension is going to be done at MRF. I'm not equipped to install coils, arms, and corner balance. the doors are going to be fun. if they are just oem replicas it should be just a few nuts and bolts. i might have a go with the seats, harnesses, and harness bar. doesn't seem too technical, but i don't want to get it wrong. i'll still have a professional eyeball it after. i'm drawing inspiration from many different builds on the forum. you're one of them and a secondary inspiration is your tracking, trailering, and competing at your age (even though you're not old). it sort of kept me patient and gave me the discipline to keep at things- there is plenty of time for the fun stuff later in life, the best has yet to come. so thanks for that, and your continued contributions.

Anyway, I'm eager to see how your build turns out. Curious what the final weight will be!!

I'll throw my vote out for the schroth 2" harness. I have one in my e46 and they're a pleasure to strap in and out of. No fuss and Hans compatible.

This is going to be awesome. I’m very curious to see the finished weight! How much do the carbon doors save? Has to be a huge amount (I assume these are the outer skins and not just inner door cards)

i can confirm 3.45 is amazing on DCT helps with the low end ompff you'll want sometimes. something to look out for. doesn't need a TCU tuning.

The schirmer doors weigh about 11 pounds. I'll be doing a full write up on these including weights, how they fit, and what is required for the swap. The door cards and speakers are heavy, and won't be going back on. I'll likely run a blank door card with a handle to open it and a pull strap. The window switches will be relocated. I'll likely get rid of the powered mirrors. I think I might be in the neighborhood of 110lbs of savings with these. $45/lb ain't too bad.
