Can you take some more exterior pics? I understand it’s a race car, but want to know dents/scratches/bruises? Any wrecks? Straight frame? Did you do the subframe swap or just the motor mounts? How many hours on the motor? Is there a pump gas tune? I don’t have access to e85…

this is very much a used race car. It’s Matt Reynold’s old SM chassis. It’s been raced hard since 1999. So yes, all the bruises.

Just to double down, I did a terrible job of wrapping it. Lots of speed wrinkles. My only wreck in the car was in July. It bent the frame and subframe. I replaced and reinforced a used good stock subframe. I bent the frame rails back into place and bolted everything back together. Runs fine. Headlights got cracked so I glued them back together and wrapped them.

To your other questions. I use a stock subframe that’s reinforce and notched to fit the oil pan.

Ive probably got a dozen weekends on the motor. No endurance racing.

currently tuned for e85, but I have pump gas tunes to hand over with the sell.

Congrats!

From another K24Z3 owner - what did you think of the cam swap? Was it worth the price? I’ve been making about 200 on a stock Z3, 10 peak hp isn’t a lot for the money, but if the power came in earlier or for longer, I might think differently.

And why E85? My tuner told me it would get me a handful of hp, but that with stock compression, I wasn’t knock limited.

I’d appreciate your thoughts if you’re willing to share! Thanks!
