NorCal M3 - CSL Conversion (Orignial owner car)

[0-60motorsports]

I started the car after 4 months. I am such a bad owner. Kids sports take up a lot of time LOL

Can't wait to see it in person one day my friend! God Bless you and the family.

Car is off to paint on February 25th 2013 and I hope it will not take as long as it did to install the CSL parts. After paint, I can break in the car for the 500 miles needed to set the DIFF gear. After all the break ins and fluid changes, I will work on the videos and a nice photo shoot of the car.

While the car was away again I decided to do a complete breakdown on the current setup of the car in regards to parts. This also includes all those little parts that never seem to be posted when these projects are done. I hope that this will help people in the future if they decided to go down this path or just trying to find that missing part. The parts list below is just a parts listing but I have included a price break down in a Google Doc.

**Please note: these are prices as listed on the website as of 2/2013 – not what I paid for them** I have been building this car going on 11 years now.

This is awesome thank you!

[M3dragon]

LOL no. I have a Raptor that is has long travel suspension for dirt use. I went to Koni shocks and I have HR springs but I need to try to find Eibachs. I had that setup as noted LONG ago and want to go back to that. I will sell the TCKlines once I have the new suspension on.

[Slideways]

Yup still have it. Sitting in the garage waiting for some parts to be installed to make it more drive-able on the crappy CA roads we have.

Did you get rally spec suspension?

[M3dragon]

Yup still have it. Sitting in the garage waiting for some parts to be installed to make it more drive-able on the crappy CA roads we have.

[inlinesix123]

Beautiful thread. Hope you still own this beauty. I am incredibly jealous of whomever was able to buy and own their car for 20 something years.

[0-60motorsports]

Are you following me still LOL. Whats up buddy.

Always my friend! Same ol Same ol but this time with the Baby so life is busy. Hope you and the family are good. I'll send you a whatsapp or text later.

[M3dragon]

Awesome Build

Are you following me still LOL. Whats up buddy.

[Mike RT4]

I followed this thread when you linked it on the CSL register back in the day (I still remember your spreadsheet LOL).

I would say that you would have to be absolutely crazy to sell this - with the plethora of now NLA CSL parts, you would not be able to recreate this or you would find that it would cost you significantly more for second hand parts and would take you years to track them all down.

[Exclusivs]

So Cool. Thanks for bringing back m3f gold. Amazing build

[robgill]

Love to see this!!

[0-60motorsports]

Awesome Build

[Casa de Mesa]

Incredible build. Incredible dedication to task. Loving reading this, thanks for resurrecting the build log!

[M3dragon]

Great work on the DIY CSL Mark! LOL...I mean Adam Since you're making (reviving) this build thread, I'm assuming that you had a change of heart and the car is still with you? If so, I want to see it on the next drive!

Yeah I had thoughts of selling but then said why. Too much time, love, and are into it. I need to post some updates and will be doing some work on it here in 2023.
