Plan: S52 swap Lightened flywheel Performance Clutch set M brake upgrade M3 seats Z3 rear end/axles (not sure which one yet) Several parts have been sourced already and the plan is to rebuild the engine and brake components. Some pics of the parts acquired: http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y27...ransformation/ | | | 04-02-2011, 03:52 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | fyi since I'm not sure if you realize or not, those aren't vaders in the pics, just regular M3 seats looks like your off to a good start though, were you planning on trying to retrofit the M3 rear brakes? | | | 04-02-2011, 04:01 AM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Wilmington, NC Posts: 28 | Thanks for the info on the seats. Eventually yes I would like to use the rear brakes.
