FlimFlam's E36 M3.
Bought myself another M3. A '99 Coupe this time.
Suspension are Fortune 500 series coilovers with Swift springs. I'm helping Terry with some R&D to test these coilovers on E36 chassis cars. So far so good. Rides very smooth at this ride height and soon it'll be raised, properly aligned, and off to VIR and Summit Point for track testing. If these coilovers work on track they will be a very decent alternative to the $2500 AST or JRZ's that are so widely used on these cars.
The wheels are CCW Classics (race version) 17x9.5 and 17x10 off of the Turner Motorsport GS e46 that ran at Daytona...and won. They aren't perfect and thats why I like them. They are scratched all to hell and they are exactly how they'll stay. And they are yellow, not gold...yellow.
More turn-fast stuff is in store..but for now its too low and I like it.
The wheels are off this car...
Not like those wheels. Those actual wheels. They won Daytona. Wooo!
Yup.

Yes, it actually might make its way on track next Monday at VIR, but for sure Hyperfest. Going to pick up another set of wheels so I can run some stickies.

Re: FlimFlam's E36 M3.
Like I said before, I LOVE IT.
It's cool because at first I thought the yellow was just badass looking plus it's repping PAS..but the fact they're off the Turner car (which I remember seeing at GT Live and was ultra badass) makes them even better. I WANT TO SEE IT SOON. IN PERSON.
