Turbo_Joe Rebuild Thread
Just realized I have never made a build thread for my M3.
Long time build over the years as I bought my M3 as a pristine one owner car almost 8 years ago. TLDR: This is how the car looks right now. Wide body with 18x11 +5 (final offset) 315/30/18 hoosiers, satin pearl white wrap, almost ready for wheel to wheel racing next season. Video of the car in action after the wide body rebuild, I was .3 sec off the track record here: Stock Car: One owner 2012 M3 with 30k miles purchased in 2015 Building a fun street car and starting autocross: Started HPDE: Added a roll bar and some seats/harnesses, upgraded to KW Club Sport suspension, made small changes here and there , added stoptech BBK Started Time Trials 2021: As I got more into HPDE and advanced through the groups I started getting into time trials with NASA. The car was no longer really used on the street and I got a lot more serious with the build. This progressed and I went with larger aero, hoosier slicks, and fully gutted the car and removed the wrap. Prepping for wheel to wheel racing next season (2022): Next step was full 8 point cage and prep the car for wheel to wheel racing. Also installed lexan windows, pulled the radio, and all around tried to lighten the car while adding the cage. Road Atlanta Incident: Running time trials at Road Atlanta I lost the car in turn 3/4 and put it into the tire wall. Lots of cosmetic damage but I knew the car was repairable. I managed to take home first place even though I wrecked in my second session. Wide body to fix wrecked car: After dealing with insurance and finally getting a check for the damages it was time to DIY some repairs. I ended up deciding to go WIDE to easily fit 18x11s with 315s all around on the car. The wide body kit is made by Big Duck Club. Its made for a base 3 series so it took some finesse to make it work on the M3 chassis. Very happy with the end results and the car feels amazing on such wide tires. First track day back after the rebuild I took home P1 in the Car and Driver Lightning Lap Challenge and took home P1 both days of time trials. It was a hell of a redemption weekend for me.

315 square. Yup, that outta get the job done.
Glad to see that V2 of the car is faster and more better! I was finally out pushing my repaired beast around Chuckwalla this weekend. Really enjoyed being back in the driver's seat going for lap times.

It was a night and day difference having the 315s. The car felt incredible. Going to Summit Point in two weeks and going after the TT3 track record or at least try to get close.

All else the same, going from 295s to 315s I shaved 2.2 seconds off my PB at VIR.

Some recent updates
Added some front splitter diffusers from Professional Awesome and built a rear diffuser. First time doing anything like this and it ended up being a lot of work. Had to make a lot of custom mounts but very happy with how it turned out. Also started installing my fire suppression, new water bottle for my drink system, digital rear view mirror and redid my switch panel

Attended competition licesne school with NASA on friday and had my first races. Practice/comp eval race friday (which I won) and three legit races over the weekend. The comp license school was in the rain all day which made things more interesting.
Sundays late race was the best for me, had a rough start getting pushed off in T1 thanks to the guys next to me getting bumped by another car. Came back on track in 11th (from 5th) and fought my way back to finish P4.

How did you accomplish the widebody? Did you use off-the-shelf parts/kit or did you have to manufacture it yourself?

During one run this weekend I miscalculated my fuel and basically came in on fumes. The CBS said I had 2 miles until empty so that put me at about a 1/2 gallon of remaining gas. At that level I still weighed 3,610 so basically will be next to impossible for me to get DQ'd for being too light. I was puckered up real good on that cool down lap.
