The JDM Inspired F80 M3 Build (Every Build Has A Story)

Ant_tc · 08-04-2020, 04:23 PM

Nice build! How’s the Recaro RSG seat? Might be looking to get one in the future.

Sorry you had trouble reading through it. I listed a few of the mods then a few corresponding photos.

Along with the Varis Diffuser and Laptorr front lip he has the following:

-Recaro RS-G (The Recaro RS-GS was originally created for the Japanese market. It's an ideal full bucket seat for both street and circuit)

-Recaro Japan Seat Rails

-ASM Bolster protector (ASM is based out of Japan)

-ASM Titanium license plate bolts

-DragInt Checkered floor mats (Popular JDM designed floor mats)

It's a beautiful car, and very well put together.

I'm in no way taking away from the result, but you have to agree the marketing of JDM build is a stretch... Right? Seat rails? License plate bolts? A bolster protector? We can laugh at ourselves a little bit.

Nonetheless, fantastic car. Why not a matching passenger seat?

Man some of you guys are a tough crowd, you get your panties in a bunch so easily. Its an M3, relax. Even the guys on Ferrari chat dont get this worked up. His M3 is beautiful, it has quality parts on it and is wearing E88 wheels. While it isnt my exact taste, I think the car is stunning in its own right.

I would assume most passengers don't feel like a full bucket would be comfortable. My wife would hate it. I had a single bucket in my 350Z years ago for this same reason. All my friends and girlfriends though the bucket looked nice, but hated getting in and out of it in addition to taking long distance drives.

Unique!!

E92.Dom · 08-13-2020, 11:55 AM

Beautiful!
Where did you purchase the H&R coilovers? I'm currently on the Super sport springs but now that I see this,I want it!

MIA_F80 · 08-13-2020, 12:15 PM

Great build! And of course best color (may be biased)

turbologist · 08-13-2020, 12:18 PM

Nice but far from JDM

dwz · 08-13-2020, 01:12 PM

Interesting

Aaron9k · 08-13-2020, 02:23 PM

Such a clean build! I grew up building JDM cars too so this to me is

dvmarks13 · 08-13-2020, 03:07 PM

Nice looking car but please get a matching passenger seat. 😉

Well said. Way too many critics.

TurboSid · 08-14-2020, 07:33 AM

Don't get the JDM angle of the car but it looks good.

My M4 w/ volks was more JDM imo lol

Mingwan · 08-14-2020, 01:52 PM

I’m also really not seeing anything really JDM about this car.

I was expecting yellow lights, CF hood, single outlet exhaust conversion, dangling pokemon on the rear diffuser, some candy colored paint job, etc

M3_Legend · 08-14-2020, 08:31 PM

Really nice build, I also came over from the JDM side. Great to see others do the same.
