Default Ls1 e30 m3

One week after finishing a two year build on a M62B44 (540i V8) into an E30 318iS I walked into a shop to buy a roll cage for it. In the shop was a LS1 E30 M3. Long story short I now own one of my all time favorite cars with the best engine on the planet. The car is a work in progress, but everything done thus far is top notch. Basically just needs wiring, plumbing, a little paint, and the interior back in. I've had a lot of fun giving BMW purists aneurysms thus far and plan on having more fun with it on the track. The only thing I am worried about is the biggest tire I can fit in the back is a 235 without major modifications.

- 65k Matching LS1, T56, harness, Computer from 2000 Camaro SS
- SLP underdrive crank pulley
- LS2 Corvette water pump w/ custom spacers for alignment
- LS6 intake manifold and valley cover/PCV system
- Mark Norris billet PCV catch can
- Canton 7 quart oil pan with 4 trap doors surrounding sump as used on Nissan Drift cars
- Canton remote oil filter mount with push fit AN hose hooked up from oil pan through to oil cooler
- MGW short shifter
- Monster Stage 3 clutch with new throwout bearing / slave cylinder

Looking good. If I saw that sitting in a shop I'd try to buy it too!

Dont listen to those bmw purists, the e30 m3 we got in North America was gutless. It needed more hp.

Very nice find! It'll be awesome once it's all buttoned up.
