      But seriously, Im going to simply move my E30 booster over 1/2" and modify the clevis on the pedal.. Im hoping with that my intake will fit ok. I wasnt too interested in buying another booster.. The Ix one would be ok but I think the e21 booster option sucks
      Revshift mounts+ slotting firewall and sabotaging pedal of life=DMFP

      Please don't do that. Booster FAR are less than 1 ER copay.

      It's cool bro This is a case of pot meet kettle, I've just been on a hiatus. ;)

      To clarify IMO those two things are equivocally wrong in degree of lunacy. Much like slotting the firewall, modifying the structure to the pedal of life.

        Its safe bro,, Im not hacking it up.

        I followed what a few other Members did.( http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=250474 )I didnt slot the firewall.. I moved the holes over (the firewall is thin sheetmetal anyway, so whatever you do to it doesnt matter a whole lot.. its the pedalgear that really deals with the braking force of your foot)

        heres some pics of how I did it. I had a spare booster, my intention was to cut the clevis in half and weld it to another clevis.. somebody threw out my booster though so I had to make a piece





        Who says you cant have all 4 nuts holding it down?



        My clevis mod isnt pretty but the welds are strong, and in the event that it did happen to break, the clevis pin is still through one side of the factory setup so you would still stop



        Factory brake feel for zero dollars. and no ER copay

              My subframe also broke this year on the track. Yours doesn't look as salt seasoned as mine but it's much nicer to start with a rust free subframe and reinforce it from there.

                  More or less. I'm on the Canadian side of the belt though.

                      That's a pretty common issue on these e30 front subs. My first swap I had one not attached and had to weld it back on. No rust either, they just fatigue out after time.
