Pretty sure im forgetting some stuff i already have. And will still be getting coolant, trans+diff fluids, oil, EDIT: syncro design works spherical RTABs, new Michelin PSS, some other odds and ends, surely stuff that couldnt be planned for upon teardown/install.

This will do it for the time being. In the future there will still be more to come.

I will have a lot of perfectly working, and recently replaced genuine parts to get rid of after alls said and done. ...while youre in there...

:jawdrop Good luck - talk to you next year!

Just a lil tune up gat dam

Did you have a cash annuity and needed to spend cash now?

That is more in parts that I paid for the track car.
Good luck and where do we send flowers for your mechanic?

That's quite a list you got there! :thumbsup

Damn son...
RIP

Hopefully you bought them from fcp (apart from the ecs tuning ones you specifically mentioned) so you don’t have to buy them again

Wow, what a list. Good luck!

Yes, i understand the cost is not justified to some. But thats for another discussion. Call it a labor of love/terrible addiction.

Luckily my mechanic and i both will be doing this all together. We both have a terrible addiction to these things. And an entire shop at our disposal. Thankfully. Hahaha. And nope. This should get completed relatively soon.

Also, fcp got a large portion of the money. Not all of it. But a lot of it.

And to all wishing me luck, its much appreciated. Obviously i love digging holes. (Read:graves). But as much as i cringe at the dollar amount, i absolutely cannot wait to button this all up and have a grin glued to my face.

Yep, it's not about the money (usually). It's the feeling of satisfaction at the end. :hi

Some guys on e46f have brought something to my attention.

M3 guibo rather than oem?

Edit: are they interchangeable? Is there a benefit? (That seems like an obvious answer, but i digress)

Well after things have gone incredibly smooth and everything was all buttoned up; an issue finally arose. Leaking coolant and gas from rear right of motor. Didnt have an inspection mirror handy, but pretty positive its headgasket. Calling machine shop tomorrow. Bring on 2019!

I have no idea why everyone is reacting like this is something insane.
This is all proper preventative maintenance, and it's better to do it all at once than have some crap fail down the line.

Now you should have a super reliable, super awesome, German sports car.

A few adds:

steering giubo
engine mounts
intake seal/gasket (if you are doing this job, take the intake off!)
pulleys and belts
shifter bearings and bushings
MAF sensor
intake temp sensor o-ring
heater and coolant hard lines (I guarantee the connectors are corroded and broken in the block, and they are likely eating the aluminum in the ports)
throttle seal
dipstick o-ring

I bought an engine, and I am doing the exact same rehab project, so I have a very exhaustive list!

I also have to do front wheel bearings. About $2,500 in parts total (including engine and 6-speed transmission). But you can't just buy another car, because every car for sale needs all these repairs.

Let me know if you need anything. I have tons of extra parts

Did you ever get the car up and running / engine fixed?

Should be wrapped up this coming week. I am hoping by Wednesday. Ended up time certing the block for good measure. Will also be reinforcing the RTAB pockets and coating the underbody in (assumed for now) POR15. After that all thats left in the immediate future is me tinkering. Longer cord for my iphone, possible resolder of a connection for one of rear map lights, bolster the wiring harness that goes through the deck lid, etc... minor OCD things.

Over the span of time i ended up getting a other block minus rotating assembly and another head as well. I have a hoard of mechanical items now. Literally.
