Yes, but what I hate about this type of flooring is jacks, engine stands, lifts, everything digs into the plastic. I've had to be innovative when raising my car.
Talk to 18Fab about the mounts..they sell nice E46 mounts!
This is awesome! I am glad you are doing it to a coupe!
Is that the Collins adapter kit you are using? I have a PMC kit to use with my E46 Getrag for my 2J E36 M3 this winter when I remove the R154.
Yes, Collins adapter with Collins aluminum pressure plate and pilot bearing adapter. As for mounts, 18Fab seems to be a work in progress, nothing on the market yet? And, CXRacing mounts didn't fit. I have no choice but to fab my own, and have no problem doing so. Part of the fun of this build is to do it yourself!
I'll start with a JDM VVTI assembly, mated to the ZF GS6-37BZ 6-speed trans (used on Z4M and e46 330i), Z4M manual driveshaft, Z4M Auto rear non-LSD with 3.64 gearing (stock), but going to 6SPD rear axles which are 38mm diameter (vs 31mm on my current auto Z4).
Was speaking with Reid Sound Performance on some options, this is slated to be a track monster, not highway king. That should give you some hints right there. Baby steps - first thing is to mount the engine, convert this Z4 from Auto to Manual shift, and make sure it runs. Goal is to have everything working, AC, all the buttons, interior, etc.
This is a bit ironic that the new Supra is rumored to be BMW/Toyota partnership, and perhaps Z4~Z5 based platform. I'm trying to beat them at their game :brownnose
