There is a small switch on the clutch pedal that will prevent it from working. I had to take mine apart to replace the clutch master cylinder. I didn't get it back together just right and I didn't realize it until later.

CT- Been a lurker on here a while, posted a couple times but now I finally have a good reason to. Finally got my s50 swap finished :-D 95s50 w/71kmiles into black 95ti w/156kmiles on body. 3.25(I think)LSD, Cf hood, Battery relocate... more to come been really busy with work, so I can have the money to buy the things I want. I will eventually swap over the m3 brakes, suspension upgrades, etc. I will post pics after I wash my car again. still needs alot of work, but I am happy to be a member here, and thank you for the support that got me through to this point.

welcome to the swap fraternity! I would love to see a couple pics and maybe you could start a build thread documenting all you did and how? Welcome once again

Thanks for the welcome, I will start posting pics when I get a free minute I can post some before pics maybe tho, must wash it again before I take new pics, it got rained on, mowed on, pollened on, and dirted on the other day like 2 days after a wash, so it needs it again. then I will upload. I have a small vid of it though on youtube that I am uploading now. I'll post link as edit later.
p.s. That's me getting in the car

Checking in. Bought a '95 with '95 M3 engine. PO also swapped in M3 front struts with brakes, and 17" wheels all around. It also came with cold air intake, header, and sweet sounding dual exhaust. It will be fun to learn how to drive it.

Looks like a clean install, Karl.

Not crazy about the wheels, but that's just my taste...

Man, that engine bay is SO much cleaner than mine

So that's what roadstars look like on a TI. Wonder how bad they'd rub on my suspension. That guy selling a set in AZ was tempting me, I just couldn't justify spending the money on a second set of rims that probably would take a lot of work to make fit on my car

Those wheels just came on the car. Rear fender lips had been rolled to fit, but the rear wheels still stick out a little. A little too boy racer for my taste, but I'll roll with it till I don't have better things to spend money on. Even with the offset tire sizes, the rear still wants to step out so I'll be hanging out in the suspension forum for a while.

Just going to start a heart transplant. Putting a 3.2L M3 motor into the 95 ti for track use. Soooooo, none of that pesky smog crap will be under the hood :-D More to come...
