Pretty easy, just remove the washer res on the passenger side 1st, driver side is easier.

Sorry it's been so long... I'm headed to VAC tomorrow to see my car, super excited! Here's some quick pics that they texted me a week or so ago during it's work on the rear qp's.

Looking good.

So what parts of the m3 subframe are you going to use?

Also, will the 1m driveshaft bolt up without modification?

Thanks! Bolting up the entire thing! All I had was a M3 rear sway, which I'll be posting for sale soon, but now I'll have a full M3 rear suspension and LSD. The driveshaft is getting rebalanced just to make sure it's 100% so we don't do all that work for nothing, but as far as I researched the M3 differential w/ a 1M driveshaft should bolt right up. But VAC Motorsports will be able to tackle any issues that come along if there are any.

Just got caught up on your build. Been crazy busy at work and with my own build. Great job! We definitely need to get together after we get our rides sorted.

Love this picture! Says it all right there. Look how wide those hips are going to be! Plus that exhaust! Dam. It took me 16+ frick'n weeks to get mine! Order from hell! I couldn't get your video of the exhaust sound to play/work on my iPad. I'll have to try later on my Mac.

Great build! Can't wait to see it when this round of work is done.

Here's some long awaited updates! And a couple of awesome 135/1M's from the BMWCCA Oktoberfest at NJMP.



















Hoping to have her back the 1st or 2nd week of October! I'll be posting more updates soon, last I heard from VAC Motorsports was the paint was completed and they're onto installing the rear subframe & diff!!

That's the Scott Cary TS race car. He posts on the forum occasionally. Nice guy, and a very cool car. Having seen it up close, a lot of time clearly went into that build.

And we have paint! Got these quick pictures yesterday from VAC. She's almost all put together, next will be the subframe/diff install then she's all mine again!
