    Bump

    Available anymore?

    As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
    You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.

          Still making them to order.

          For those guys waiting, my car is STILL in the freaking shop and I need to have it back to test fit each brace. I truly appreciate your patience!

          Of late, my vanos started making noise so I immediately put the car in for vanos repair.

          Well, as the saying goes, "While you're in there . . ."

          So, I took the plunge for Turner kit w/Schricks, injectors, chip etc. Weeks pass.

          Cams installed but vanos repair didn't work. Ordered Dr. Vanos.

          Finally, the call to pick up the car.

          Go to pick it up and it's idling like a semi. What the? Shop keeps it for a few more days then insists the idle is because of performance cams.

          I take the car to ANOTHER shop and they called today to say the cams weren't installed properly and neither was the vanos.

          Man, this is getting seriously expensive!

          End of rant.

          Hang in there guys. Your braces will be coming soon.

          Here are some I finished last week:

              Great product. I was one of the first units.

              This is a photo of my install.

                  What mounts are these? Did they split when you tightened them?

I wonder if they even are the e21 mounts!!!! I had to file the nubs on my oe brace to make them fit well.

                          Charlie...thanks for pointing me toward Doug!!!!!!
                          It looks like these e21 mounts are the same "hard rubber" mounts offered by http://store.bimmerworld.com/shared/...immerworl&All=

                          When I received mine they were green, just like the E21s. I also had to drill out the holes on my stock brace to make them fit. Very hard, but without the NVH of poly.
