OT...Got a track car at last...pics of the M3

Well l've finally got a track car.....and l must say the beast is very happy about that. The M5 had to go into the shop for another rotor shave this week, and now their on their last few thou of use
I also have changed the ram ducting l had to the engine to the brake ducts as l ended up f#$%& the rotors a few weeks back at a track day in Miami. The fog lighs are now the CIA for the engine.
I will post up pics and info when it's all done

So back to the M3....I got in contact with Al Zilinsky who had his M3 up for grabs l also had James Safrons as well in the picture as he had a awesome M3GT 4 sale...very strong and one l really wanted at the time. I found out James went and sold it last week, so l got shut out on that one...but it's owner is in South FL..might find him one day??
Then Al's car comes along, and it's in FL to l think to myself this could be a good buy, so no trucking the Safronas car from CA....so thats good
Al sent me some pics and few days later l said l would take it off his hands and the deal was done
I'm heading down to see it today and all being that l'm 100% happy with it l'm off to the track on Sunday to give her a test run on Sunday at the Chin Motorsports track day at Moroso.
I will also run the beast as well, but only if it gets wet, as the M3 will only be on slicks.... Al didn't have any wets ready at such short noticeI will let you guys know and see if l can get some vid of the day....and the M5 agin. I will get the vid of my 1st track day in the beast at Homestead l did some weeks up on the site ASAP. My computer keeps shitting it's pants when l try to load inages from a camera


Here is the info on the car....

Stuart, I know both Al and the car well. Sounds like a good deal. Guess I'll be heading up to Moroso Sunday to see how you're doing with the new toy!

What a beauty you have there. Looks like it's packed full of all the good stuff and ready to run hard. Having never really driven many cars under 3500lbs., I'll be interested to hear your comments compared to the Nowack.

Apples: That isn't just a track car - that's a freakin' race car. I am jealous. It should be a BLAST to drive. I'd love to know your first impressions once you get it out on the track. With that set-up and slicks I think you'll be BLOWN AWAY at the intensity of the cornering and braking G's.

So cool. Congratulations! (And please be careful - we want to keep you here to entertain us for a long time!)

P.S. - Your M3 pics are in your M5 album. You might want to create a different album for these - makes them easier to find.



Cheers -
