M3 E46 racecar build

driftflo · 11-07-2014, 04:40 PM

i am converting a M3 E46 trackday car to a proper racer at the moment.
in comparison to my E92 this one is (or will become) a dedicated race- and driftcar!

it bought the car last year like this:

a little later it looked like this:

engine rebuild:

a proper safety cell:

racing clutch and single mass flywheel:

custom clutch type lsd with 4.10 final drive:

supersprint lightweight race exhaust and centerpipe:

kw competition 3-way coilovers and swaybars:

any many more... the complete conversion can be seen here (content in german language but as there are a whole lot pictures it should be understandable anyway):

some more will be added soon...

Nice, looks familiar. I need to finish up my cage and new differential.

racetrack rollout yesterday at hockenheimring... everything worked fine... few grip of the (worn) michelins on the rear axle... but this can be sorted out easily until next time.
