Really cool! How did those sit on a shelf for 20years??
Sat in the back warehouse where no one could see them.

The shaft. 🤭
It just doesn't seem like there is any other raw aluminum in the interior.
There is now! Just picked these up from a local tire shop they had sitting in the back in a box from the early 90’s. They used to be a MOMO distributor back in the day. Super neat score that’ll match the Recaro Momo Special and fit the period correct theme I’m going for. Also the cage is currently polished/cleared. I can’t find any other pictures or anything on these pedals

CAE is a life changer. are you planning on keeping it aluminum or will you darken that up a bit too?
Which part? The part I made is getting wrapped, the shifter itself will stay as is with probably a white knob to match the letters on the seats and steering wheel. The aluminum should match the lips of the wheels

Well a whole new clutch setup later and throwout bearing and we are finally back up and running! Spent the day deep cleaning all the interior panels, deciding what was good enough to keep and what had to go! Also made a shift boot/cage for the CAE. Going to wrap it in alcanatara suede but the brushed aluminum isn’t bad till I park the car for winter soon.

did you use a new clip?
make sure the fork was aligned properly? and make sure it wasnt worn through?
insert the clutch slave into the bellhousing at a straight angle? (that's what she said)
use the correct TOB?
New clip, didn’t make sure the fork was aligned properly to be honest. Kind of stupid of myself. Didn’t have any problems with the last slave on my other e36 so I figure it was as easy as screwing on and making sure it’s tight. Going to make sure everything is perfect before I even look at that clutch pedal this time

So went to remove trans yesterday. Had a hell of a time with the 1JZ starter. Was not fun to reach. Got it off and the problem was just what I expected. A worn pivot pin. After spending all day in the rain removing the trans and putting it back in I was nearing completion.. installing the slave ready to be done. Pressed the clutch and the slave blew it’s been piston and rod into the trans. Had to take it off and put it back on again. Hopefully today the slave will decide to line up properly

Well this thing is beautiful.... Cannot wait to money shift and blow my motor. Jk, super excited. Quality is amazing, I’ve been wanting one of these for a very long time.
I’m really trying to not cut any corners in this interior. The cockpit of the car is where you spend all of your time, and it’s very important that it’s done right. It’s all about the driving experience! I feel that so many people overlook the interior of a car and only focus on the exterior. I want to love driving my car as much as I love looking at it

Smelt clutch driving the car around yesterday. Hit boost a few times, and nothing felt out of the ordinary. Clutch release point was perfect as always, so I was confused.
Ended up losing the pedal randomly going about 10 mph when I tried to shift to second. Pedal stick to the floor and I have to pull it back up. No pressure. Can’t put car in gear with the car running.
Opened bleed screw on the slave and pressed pedal and fluid shot out. (Master seems fine, still connected to pedal, no leaks)
Took slave off and checked the pressure on the rod. Rod is super hard to push in, nothing like my other bad slave in my 323 from last winter. Clamped it shut and tried pressing the pedal and the pedal was rock solid. No leaks on the slave. (Assuming slave is not a problem)
Tried pushing fork in with screwdriver and it still has pressure but is sitting high up out of place.
I’m assuming the clutch pivot pin is completely worn out of failed in someway. Going to take tranny out next weekend. Still confused on why I got the clutch smell, and I find it weird for my clutch to feel fantastic and then to lose my pedal randomly.
In good news my new part should be here this week and you have to lower the tranny for it so I can knock two stones out in one day. Hope it’s just the pivot pin, ordering a stainless one today from bimmerworld.

Yeah those seats are proper. I bet this thing will hoon pretty well. The welds on the half cage look decent too, hopefully it won't kill you in the event of a crash. 😂
I had the cage made by Structure Fab and Design in West Allis and they did an amazing job. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs any metal work done 👍🏼

Figured I would start a build thread for the M3. I’ve owned this car for about two months now and have huge plans for his car over the winter. I plan to do a period correct build and a “restoration”. This car is pretty rough around the edges in my opinion so I’m going to do a full respray of the Daytona this winter, and replace all aged parts with new OEM stuff. Trim/seals/any plastic. At the same time I’ll also be adding some proper quality upgrades to the car.
To start off, the car is a 1995 Daytona M3 that came with the Lux package/dove interior. I had boughten the car off of a local guy who had recently done a 1JZ heart transplant. It’s a VVTI JZX110 single turbo from a Mk2 chaser. The swap was done very very properly with all custom mounts and a custom harness. Still has the ZF trans. My plan power terrain wise for now is to keep it as is, as it’s plenty of power to have fun in and beat the crap out of. Maybe in the future I’ll go with a big single, but for now, I’m content.
The car is sitting on 1990’s HRE 527 2 piece wheels with hidden hardware, and BC coilovers. It has brand new OEM M3 calipers all around and Toyo tires. My first major thing I had done was I had a roll bar custom made out of chromoly for the car with beautiful tig welds. While this was being made I had ordered a MKAH Motorsports rear seat delete and wrapped it in Alcantara Suede. (This thing was a pain in the ass to get it to fit and was pretty bunk for $600) but I think it came out pretty good after all said and done. Other quick mods I’ve done in the past month or two include buying Recaro SE seats that I found for sale in Las Vegas brand new only used for a few drives ever. In my opinion a perfect fit, as the seats are from the 90’s and labeled as a “comfort sport” seat. -What m3 is all about. Earlier this week I had also boughten a Momo Recaro Special steering wheel that is also near new, a really awesome find from Australia. I plan to save the current blue fabric for if I ever sell it and re-wrap the center in black seat material to match the Recaro’s perfectly. Also last week picked up a CD43 Business CD to retain the OEM+ lookZ Other than that, the car currently has a ACS rear window spoiler, a BFI industries shift knob, and I’ve changed the interior to the black vinyl door panels and a armrestless center console. I have a million more things I plan to do in the near future and will be updating this as often as I remember.

Welcome! I've seen you around, I moved back to the area last summer in North Prairie and grew up in Mukwonago. That Daytona is a great car. I was a little upset Chubs sold it but I'm glad it went to a good home!
The Daytona is going to be getting all the love it deserves. I’ve put over 1500 miles on it in the time I’ve owned it. It’s so fun

Hey, my names Matt and I’m an e36 guy from East Troy, Wisconsin! I recently got into the e36’s within the past two years and have never enjoyed a car as much as I do with these things. I have had a wide range of cars, from SR20 240’s, to Supras, to Ls400’s, e60’s and my build I spent the most time on that I recently sold was my s2000 that was featured in super street. I’m 22 years old and love cars. I work 50 hours a week to support my bad car addiction (and rent and other bills sadly but)
I currently own a 323is that I bought about a year and a half ago with 140k miles. Since then I’ve replaced the entire cooling system with a CSF radiator, all new hoses, a fancy expensive water pump, electrical fan setup, new thermostat with housing, new expansion tank, etc. The car is black with a 2 tone anthracite wrap on the bottom half. The car is sitting on style 19’s with 205/40/17 Toyo’s. I have some cool interior bits like M-rain door panels and headliner and a ROUGH WORLD 1/150 steering wheel with renown hub. It has a nice short shifter, and makes for an amazing daily. I drive it year around. I’ve taken it to the tail of the dragon along with many other places. The car sits at 184k miles (44k miles in a little over a year) and doesn’t burn or drip a fluid of any sort.
My new project as of about a month and half ago that I had sold the s2000 for is a 95’ 1JZ Daytona M3 Lux. My plan for this car is to restore it (replace all trim and seals with new oem) and any other parts that have been worn down/faded over the years. I plan on doing a period correct sort of build and keeping it very simple. Since owning it, I’ve found a near new set of black door panels, I had a one of a kind custom roll bar made by structure fab and design in West allis, I’ve boughten some brand new in the box from 1995 Recaro SE seats, a MKAH rear seat delete that i wrapped in alcanatara, a Speedhunters 1/100 Renown steering wheel (not period correct but very simple and clean look) and some other things. It sits on 90’s HRE 2 piece hidden hardware wheels that I plan to fully refinish as well. My plan is to have the car looking and driving brand new by spring! It’s going to be an expensive yet exciting winter.
Sorry the pictures are all scattered and I doubt anyone will even read this but here’s some photos of the rides.

Well not related to the Daytona. But picked up a Mauritiusbleu metallic 318i individual that has been sitting in a storage unit since 01’. Hasn’t seen daylight in 18 years. Originally ordered in Canada it spent its entire life in New Mexico. The thing is flawless underneath and has no rust. Excited to daily drive it and give it the love it needs. A deep cleaning, a buff, new fender and hood on the way! Was originally parked because the owner was leaving his marine base driving it to wisconsin home and got into a minor accident. Parked it, and here we are 18 years later.
