Car has working ABS, Airbags and Air conditioning. It has cats, but Smog is buyers responsibility.

Car is super fast, weighs about 3100lbs. Everything works on it. Interior is 9/10 exterior about 9/10 as well, has couple of dings in the paint, but overall very good.

Here is a recent dynosheet before the ported intake manifold, so it should make another 10whp.

I built the whole car, so I can answer any question. It is located in Irvine, Socal.

[crunkride]

Oh I like.

[cebatwo]

Bump!!! I want :)

[gabewatts25]

very clean swap man!

[Juantwo3]

brilliant.


BUMP!!!!!!!!

[mugenjibz]

good god. :faint:

[onehundredoctane]

SO FUCKING CLEAN.

GLWS indeed sir!

[upsdude]

this is a very nice ride, so how hard is it to drop an ls in a bimmer?

[turkey]

damn this shit is sickkkk mann

[kaane]

Harder than a Nissan S chassis, but kits do exist. Space is more limited, so headers and ABS stuff is a pain. Took me 4 months to build it with a LS1, another 3 months to take it apart again and build up the LS3.

I just raced my buddies new E92 M3 with a ESS supercharger, he puts down 490whp and I pulled on him like 2 bus lengths from 40 to 130.

[Okinawandrifter87]

Super clean! Glws man

[drift2010]

i'm speechless...
uggghhhh I need to go to the bathroom.... I'll be back...

[stickboie]

[codyace]

Yummy! Love it!

[VipIS3]

[kaane]

Posted some newer pics, with new headlights and emblems.

I am in the middle of doing an e36/ls2. I have done 2 s13/ls1 swaps and the e36 is definitely harder and more money to do.

If this was a 95(no plugin for MA inspection) I would just buy this, and sell off my project in a heart beat.

You did an amazing job!

[Fred Allen Burge]

Very nice job, this car looks like too much fun ;)

[RB Me]

hmmmmmmmmm

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Outstanding. Wow, great looking car.

[steve shadows]

Nice....

I am building a GT4088R equipt 99 M3 over the next few years----should be interesting.

LS3 sure has a nice power curve though. GLMS - hopefully something changes so you are still able to keep it!

[s13dan]

awesome car, but you will never see 25k for it.

[Fred Allen Burge]

awesome car, but you will never see 25k for it.

I think he could. This one might appeal to the kind of buyer who actually has 25k to play with.
