Hey guys, love the site!

Curious to know if any other Canadians/Pac NW guys visit here? Would love to setup a blowneuros meet close to home.

Vitals:
1997 BMW M3, 5 speed
eurosport twinscrew, shrick cams, 68mm pulley, 8.5psi, 3" custom exhaust from headers back, UUC Organic clutch, 3.46 LSD from diffsonline.com, ground control coilovers, rogue pulleys, tc kline roll cage, recaro speeds, rogue ssk, etc..

This is my daily driver/track rat and I couldn't be happier!

Dyno vid: YouTube - E36 M3 Supercharged

In the next 6 months:
42lb injectors
Air/Meth Injection
Kromer Kraft Headers
Custom tune
Vented hood

In the next year:
widebody :snky:
6 speed transmission


Overall impressions after 7 months of ownership: I'm more than satisfied with the car and the level of performance it delivers. Coming from the E46 M3 I feel much more connected in this car, the road feel/handling is amazing. Daily driving this car is a neat experience in that it does not drive like a rough, high strung monster. The twinscrew setup allows for a very smooth powerband with lots of torque down low. The car drives nearly like stock.

Target HP: Hp is quite relative and just a number, I do not discuss HP goals usually but going from an N/A car to this F/I monster I cannot help myself. My stage II estimate is 490 rwhp on a mustang dyno.

Gripes: The biggest issue with a car like this is putting the power down without too much wheel spin. With my current wheel configuration I can only fit 245r/235f and it likes to spin on a WOT run until 4th gear where it goes like a bat out of hell. Over the last couple months I have been learning the power band of the car, with proper throttle modulation much of the wheel spin can be avoided. My goal is to fit 265 or 255 rubber on all 4 corners, and the sky is the limit when I go widebody.

Welcome, nice looking e36 and it sounds like it is a blast to drive. Not sure if there are any other active members of the site in your neck of the woods, but I might be wrong. I'm sure someone will chime in and answer that one for me.

I would try and answer Josh's question but it's 5:37am and I just woke up to go to work (more training in va/md/nc) I've been sleeping all night I'm tired as balls. What a way to spend my weekend!

Most definitely...i was thinking the same thing

I think you can get 255 stock if you're careful.
