Hey guys, I wanted to wait until I had a chance to look at the car before I said anything or posted anything. I finally went out and looked at it and it was hands down, the nicest, cleanest, and sickest E36 that I have ever driven. Just to give you a taste of how it drove...I got to 100 in 10sec in 3rd gear...I had the biggest grin on my face.
Anyways, we'll start with the mods list and then work our way into the pictures.
MODS:
* 3.2 Liter engine with M50 head and thicker valvestems with single VANOS retrofitted on.

* Pauter Machine "+" beam connecting rods
* Customer JE forged 8.8:1 pistons
* huge intercooler
* Fuel enrichment is entirely custom! It is all custom software by Karl Hugh at Midwest Motorsport and done in the EEPROM of the Bosch Motronic DME ... it uses 42 lb/hr fuel injectors. No rising rate fuel pressure regular goofiness here!
