Get your whip to an exhaust shop so we can see some vids dammit! :hitler:

Never heard of O'reillieys, but if you find an e30 m3 caliper rebuilt for under $150 show me where and I'll buy all four corners and sell them on here...

Ah, sorry. My reading comprehension is not too hot, appearantly. I thought you had a 325i, and thus 325i brakes.

It's a 325is with e30m3 suspension. ;)

Little update.

Got anoter set of rear e30 m3 calipers courtesy of hugh jass. $100 shipped later, I was able to take the side I needed, rebuilt it using the gasket and rubbers (keke) from the original caliper I had on there.

Was scared shitless to attempt to open up the bleeder screw but alas, it worked like it should :D

Bled the brakes, bled the clutch (pita). All that is left (knock on wood) is intall the e34 m50 throttle cable, and possibly reset my TPS and idle screw.

Then it's drive to nearest exhaust shop to get the exhaust on.

Hopefully everything else is right. Need to figure out why my diagnostic port isn't working.


She looked like this until I put the bonnet on her (haha, bonnet)...




Brought the lip in to finish bolting up the splitter. CLOSER! Can't wait till I'm at the clean up stage.

What size tires are you running on the 16x8's? Car looks great (duh).

[hugh jass]

glad to know the calipers were going to help complete an awesome build!

[MIKe30]

Thanks guys, and thanks Carl. You have no idea how relieved I was they were in good shape!

Hopefully get it to an exhaust shop tomorrow.

I feel they're undersized and I don't like it. They're 215/40 rear 205/45 up front. They were originally bought for 16x9/16x7.5 setup on borbet b's when I was 4-lug. Sold the wheels they werent perfect, sold the tires to a buddy. Buddy picks up e30m3 suspension and another pair of 215/40's to match all around. Buddy sells everything to me for cheap.

Think I may sell all the tires and buy ones I want. Orrrr burn these up and buy ones I want :pimp:

See you at cars and coffee soon! (**knock on wood**)


btw, for future reference - I am a 31-30, not a 38-30 :mrgreen:

[WhiteStripes]

OMFG that think sounds fucking sexy with all that lope. Congrats man for sure.

[jrdeamicis]

Those tires are for sure undersized.
