Car is forsale again due to non paymentNew write up below. Selling my 1997 318is boosted car. $12,000 invested in Metric Mechanic FI 2.1L motor. Every option metric offers is in this motor. Spec stage 5 clutch, all M3 driveline parts (zf trans, 3.23 LSD), staggered rims. All original body parts that were replaced with carbon are boxed in my shed. 4 point cage, race buckets, One of the few turbo 318's with A/C. All gauges digital blue. LM-2 hardwired. VIS carbon hood, sunroof and trunk. I drove it today with no issues but it has a blown head gasket that is allowing combustion gases in the cooling system.
$2,500....Tire kickers and low ball offers do not offend me, I like to talk about my car
Track video with new 405ftlb torque clutch, Currently stage 5 clutch with does not slip. Obvious clutch was completely blown out on this run.
93 pump gas, no meth spray on this run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FIM8sBtjss Again $2,500 includes everything I have for this car, meth system included too.

This is a full list of all items I believe need replacement.
Motor items needed:
1. Head Gasket (will send used HG I have), Motor runs fine but under high boost leaks combustion gas into coolant.
2. TPS sender needs replacement since it has a dead spot the first quarter of pedal (runs good like this but hard to start).
3. Turbo charger replace with new turbo included in deal (less than 400 miles on new turbo). I think the current turbo is leaking oil through its seals, new turbo is exact same and is boxed up and goes with car
Nothing else is needed on motor and it currently runs strong but I know the head gasket is bad since I have exhaust combustion in coolant which is a sign of the head gasket letting go. Motor can drive without boost without leaking so the gasket is a semi-light leak currently. Motor makes 212hp at flywheel with no boost. Items listed above are all needs to be perfect.
Top of car and all VIS carbon fibre parts need a clear coat if you want it perfect.
A/C needs 1 can charge per year so the A/C is still under pressure and only needs 1 can of 134a per year, A/C cranks and is super cold....Almost all turbo 97 E36 turbo cars have no a/c due to the turbo needing the room. My install I notched the frame and welded a V-butt with frame metal so it is strong as before but lets the turbo piping pass the frame.
Body issues:
1. Dent before driver door from hitting my mail box, scratch on drivers side from son hitting car with handle bar of his bike.

1. OEM hood,
2. OEM Trunk

Meth tank included since system is deactivated and not used under 17psi on 93 octane. Here is 17psi of boost on 93 octane pump gas with no Meth at track. Clutch slipped so it was changed from stage 3 to stage 5
