Well I have decided to sell my time trial car. It is a 98 M3 in alpine white/magma with 95k on the odo. It was built throughout last year to the limit of NASA TTC rules. It won several events last year and claimed 5 track records. It also managed 3rd at NASA Nationals in TTC. The list of mods are as follows:

 

 

 

Suspension

 

Moton 2-way race dampers

 

H&R 2.5" springs 1000lb. rear and 950lbs. front

 

Ground Control race camber plates

 

UUC Sways

 

X-Brace

 

Delrin FCAB

 

 

 

Aero

 

Max Velocity EvoII front splitter

 

Bimmerworld carbon fiber canards

 

Bimmerworld IP wing

 

 

 

Engine/Drivetrain

 

K&N CAI

 

UUC Evo 3 SSK

 

AA Cat back exhaust

 

UUC Stage II aluminum flywheel and clutch

 

Diffsonline 3 clutch variable ramp Limited slip

 

RMS coated 3.73 gears

 

TMS solid diff bushings

 

 

 

Interior

 

Kirk bolt in 4 point roll bar (powder coated white)

 

Momo type 78 steering wheel

 

Bimmerworld hub adapter

 

Carbon fiber sunroof panel

 

 

 

Brakes

 

Motorsport floating front rotors

 

Bimmerworld Brake cooling kit w/backing plate

 

Carbotech pads

 

 

 

Cooling

 

Samco hose kit

 

Fluidyne radiator

 

 

 

Removed

 

Seats

 

Trunk trim

 

Rear carpet

 

Sunroof cassette

 

Entire AC system

 

All cooling fans (still have clutch fan for Barber and Road A in the summer)

 

 

 

The car is still perfectly street legal and actually surprisingly comfortable. I spent 10 hours non stop in the car for a cruise down to Wilmington and back and was perfectly comfortable. The car still has the entire interior from the front seats forward (minus the seats themselves), Power windows and door locks, cruise control, and 18 button OBC, HID headlights. It has a full stereo with brand new Pioneer ipod capable head unit but the system does not work because it was hooked up to an aftermarket amp which i have removed. I never bothered to try to get the sound system working again. The car comes with a set of 18" BBS RK's in silver and 2 sets of Kosei K1's in silver. The BBS's have a set of Pirelli's on them. One set of Koseis have a set of Nitto NT01's with 6 heat cycles on them. The car Currently has an OMP race seat in it but that will not be included in the sale. However, i do still have the full set of original powered magma seats that i would be willing to throw in with the car.

 

 

 

The car is very strong. I recently dynoed it and it managed 218 whp (dyno Dynamics). Incredible power numbers for such a lightly modified E36 M3.

 

 

 

This car is perfect for someone looking to get into NASA TT or a great start for GTS Class racing.

 

 

 

Asking 16,500

 

 

 

Feel free to ask any questions. I'm sure there is a lot I forgot to mention.

 

 

 

Here are some pics. Most of the decals are off now. The first shots show how it looks now.

I'm considering a car like this for HPDE and beyond. Can you give me an idea what it would cost to run this car for 1-year with about 8-10 track days? Considering worn part replacement, fluids, etc.

Thanks!

Completely depends on tire and brake pad choice as well as the track. CMP is very hard on brakes and tires. I have gone through a set of front pads in a weekend there. However, I could get several weekends on my pads at a track like Road A. If you use Hoosiers you will only get 2 weekends out of them before the performance falls off but a set of toyos or nittos will last several weekends. Rotors will probably last the whole year and again cost depends on rotor choice. Motorsport full floaters are expensive but brembo blanks are very reasonable. I would say if you do 8-10 weekends look to buy about 200 gallons of gas, 1 set of rotors, 3 sets of front pads, 2 sets of rear pads, 2-3 sets of tires, 20 quarts of oil, 2 quarts of tranny fluid, 4 quarts of diff fluid and that should do it.
