1990 BMW M3
WBSAK0312LAE33753
Diamond Schwartz black

After 5 years of ownership, the time has come for me to pass this special car onto a new owner. Last year, I purchased and began racing a Spec E30, and it does not make sense for me to keep two race cars when, realistically, I can expect to use only one. Here is some background regarding the car’s history. Some of you may already know the car.

Featured in Bimmer Magazine (2001) and on Gustave's website:

http://www.e30m3project.com/e30m3per.../tad_laird.htm.
http://www.e30m3project.com/e30m3per.../ch2/index.htm.

Two-owner car before I purchased it in June 2006, with prior owners residing in California and Nevada. Never any rust or wrecks. I have a NY title for the car.

The original build was completed in 2001 by the prior owner. It was a relatively low-mileage street car prior to that. Most of the fabrication work, including the cage, was done by Fahey Motorsports in San Diego, CA. All of the work was exceptionally well executed. I have a 3-inch binder of receipts showing more than $100k invested.

More recent pictures can be viewed at:

http://www.s14.net/photopost/showgal...r=2175&cat=500.

As you will see, the car has evolved into a more purposeful race/track car. I used a professional fabricator for the additional work I have done. All fluids changed frequently, always garaged and well maintained.

The prior owner, a doctor, used the car primarily for driving schools. He did very little racing with the car - in fact, he entered only two race events with it. Initially, I attended driving schools with the car. In 2008, I started club racing with BMWCCA, and later with NASA in GTS-3. The point here is that the car has never seen frequent or particularly hard race use.

Very popular car in the paddock, and very quick and rewarding to drive on the track. Car weighs approximately 2,500 lbs without driver. It could easily lose more weight, as it still has the factory bumpers, hood, trunk lid, glass, etc. I have logbooks for both NASA and BMWCCA (classed as GTS-3 and D-Mod, respectively).

Motor was rebuilt by S14 guru David Pan in 2007 after the original motor broke a connecting rod. The entire bottom end was purchased new for the rebuild. This included (among other items) a new, genuine EVO3 block, new EVO3 crank, new connecting rods and pistons. The cost of the rebuild was approximately $14k. Dynoed in April 2010: 246 rwhp and 202 lbs torque. Motor was built and tuned conservatively for torque and longevity, observing a ~ 7k rpm soft redline. The motor could make significantly more horsepower with hotter cams, if desired. I was more than happy with these numbers, which allow the car to fit nicely in GTS-3.

SCDA VP Elivan Goulart Joins Team AMG and Races to Victory at 25 Hours of Thunderhill California

SHELTON, CONN. (December 6, 2011) - Elivan Goulart, SCCA 2011 Spec Miata National Champion and North East Division Driver of the Year, joined Team Atlanta Motorsports Group in their successful bid to win the United States Air Force National Auto Sport Association 25 Hours of Thunderhill race last weekend, December 3-4, at Thunderhill Raceway Park in Willows, California. Goulart, along with Team AMG teammates Jim Daniels, Mike Cooper and Jesse Combs, came from the back of the pack and overtook the lead in the 25-hour race called the longest automobile endurance race in the western hemisphere.
 
"What an incredible, exhausting and exhilarating experience," Goulart said. "Coming out on top is a true testament of our driving skills as well as the entire Team AMG (DriveWithAMG.com) on car preparation. I can't thank Jim Daniels enough for putting together this opportunity.
 
"I got the call to join the team on Tuesday afternoon, and from that moment on, the true race began. It was very fast paced getting travel plans and arrangements to spend time in the car, and from the beginning it was a challenge," he said.
 
Although the team was scheduled to practice on the 3-mile track before the event, mechanical issues ended up leaving Goulart with no wheel time in the Mazda MX-5 race car before the grueling race began. Because of the mechanical problems the team was unable to make qualifying, and was forced to start the race from the back of the pack, adding to the driving team's challenge.
 
"We started running really consistent, quick laps, and moved up steadily in the pack - until we lost what we had believed to be a transmission only one hour into the event. It ended up only being a shifter problem, but we got the car back to the pits, and this amazing crew changed the tranny and got us back onto the track in less than 25 minutes. Those guys were a huge reason we were able to keep on racing and jump to the top of the pack.
 
"I ended up driving more than ten hours of the race, and it was some of the most fun racing I have ever done.  There were almost 90 cars on the track at the start, so there was always someone to be looking out for, and the track was a challenge, especially at 3 a.m.!  
 
"Of course, a race like that isn't just about driving, it's about the vehicle standing up to the challenge, and I have to say this Mazda is a great car. We passed the competition, mainly BMWs, built up a huge lead, and were able to out-last the battle of attrition because of car failures," Goulart said.
 
Overall, competing in the E0 class, the team ran 615 laps - more than 1,800 miles - and beat the second-place team by 15 laps.
 
"It was a weekend I will never forget, and I'm sure I'll really be able to enjoy it - once I get home and catch up on my sleep. I have to add, it was awesome to have my dad, Ademir, by my side the whole event, coaching me and encouraging me the whole way," he said.  Ademir is a key component of his son's racing, serving as crew chief and engine builder/designer on several of the cars Elivan has piloted.
 
According to Goulart, his next racing adventure will be announced very soon, and will include a full season in 2012 as he continues to advance in his career.

The format for the July sprints included a 9 Lap SCCA Regional on Sunday, as well as a 45 minute Pro IT Race. The Pro IT race includes a variety of classes, including race prepped BMW's, Porsches, many Spec and Showroom Spec Miatas as well as other Improved Touring Sedans. The Pro IT race was slightly wet to start, with a track that quickly dried out. With close to 60 cars on the track, there was always action to deal with. When the checker waved, Prout emerged with the SSM class win, and the need to drink a gatorade after the 19 lap event on the 3.4 mile Watkins Glen Long Course. With not much time to spare, next up was the 9 lap SSM Regional Race. Prout qualified P2 behind SCDA Instructor TJ Hanifan, with SCDA Instructor Mustafa Ugurlu a very close P3. The race was a blast, and when the checker flew, all 3 SCDA Instructors were on the Podium! A great weekend of Spec Miata Racing! A reminder that if driving a dedicated track prepared Spec Miata sounds like fun, that arrive and drive Spec Miata rental cars are available for remaining 2011 events! Stay tuned for additional updates!

During the Spec Miata race, Goulart posted a very impressive 1:02.4 lap! The SCDA would also like to extend a congratulations to customer Dan Moen, who piloted the # 25 SCDA SM. Dan ran some fast times in qualifying and ended up with a solid finish, mixing it up with fellow competitors throughout his race.

Elivan never looked back and kept his cool under pressure, scoring his second win of the season! The SSM race was held later in the day, just as the heavens opened up.
