<![CDATA[Partiallypurplevisuallyviolet - Daytona M3 Build Thread]]>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.

Here is a photo dump from last weeks trip.

Placing my order on a Tweak'd custom harness by the end of this week once I figure a few last small details out. I really like their harness vs the wiring speciliates for a couple reasons but the one thing I think is really cool is their quick disconnect bulkhead. Not only does it look awesome but it makes removing the motor if I ever have to super easy. 

Other things I have changed include powder coating some engine bay stuff to match the wheels and cage vs going full polished. I think this will look really good and make the car feel more "together/complete" 

Once I have the harness installed and everything done being polished and powder coated I will update with pictures and send off to get the titanium bits handled!

@patsbimmer1Honestly no idea, not enough. Just pretty much a stock JZX110. With the turbo and E85 I should be able to make a decent amount more than that, I just dont see that necessary at the moment, but it will be nice to have the option to turn it up if I want. Sound Performance will be tuning the car and they are gonna put a boost "knob" in the car

Sound Performance does a great job!

The plan is to go standalone/wiring specialties harness/Precision 6262/custom manifold etc. I already have most of the parts purchased within the past two weeks, just waiting on some E85 stuff that is BO. I will update as stuff comes in/gets done! 

The plan with the 6262 is to make ~450 HP. I want something that I can still take on the backroads and enjoy, and I feel like 450 will be perfect for that.

The Daytona m3 still exists. Just have been busy with the ZHP. Have recently been driving this car a ton, and forgot how much of a blast it is. Brain storming what to do with out this winter. So far the winter goal is going to be able to safely make 500WHP and reinforce things such as the diff and all that so I don't spend half the summer replacing parts.

I need to see coco mats in person because honestly I don’t get it. I know they are popular but I don't look at them and get excited.

This is not me being a hater/dick, by the way. I’d love to see them in person to better understand the appeal.

Nice find on the ACS stuff 👍🏼

I was the same way. The quality on them is insane, they weigh like 10 pounds a piece lol

And they don’t show dirt as much as normal mats. So it always looks clean 🤓

Mirrors and rear windshield wing next!

I have to restore mine quite a bit to make it look respectable, my right rear blew out because of a torn off spring piece, now I have bumper damage. 
 

My M3 is clean, but it’s missing a few details like a proper front lip/under tray, front and rear moldings are a little faded.

Coby wheel. Think for all of the stuff it was like $425 + a $250 deposit. You send your old wheel once you get new one. Quality is better than oem

I'm a photography noob myself, so you can take this anyway you want, but I couldn't help cropping some of these. I tend to obsess a little about the margins and whether what's there really adds anything to the photo. When in doubt, I cut it out. Having a line terminate in the corner of the picture never hurts either. Not trying to be a dick, it's just trying to be helpful.

Also, I have an NEX to Konica adapter that I ordered by accident. If you want to play around with some vintage lenses, you can have it.
