Even in peices it looks great! :)

So, who will be done next? Will, or me? lol

[Nisse Järnet]

Thanks!
Haha cool :D Tc lock will probably be more useful with the 2,8 motor :)

Almost back together

Just took the car for a spin, seems to work great :D Just have to finish the exhaust and fix a vacuum leak..and put all the body parts back on :P

Awesome! Congrats!

Yeah, even with a blown TC, an iX leaves hard. I dropped the clutch on my totally stock 190+k mile '88 with blown TC VC from about 5000 RPM and it just left three 6" long black marks and moved.

well done! can't wait to see the boost cranked up :D how are you liking your brake setup? and how is your transfer case working with your custom switch?

Me neither :D
Its working great! Haven't pushed the brakes too hard yet but so far I love them!
Tc works great too, with this low power level I don't even need to lock it, 4500 rpm launch control and no wheel spin at all :)

Short pull @ 0,3 bar boost...slow :P But it works! More to come :)

With the number of hubs to choose from, there should be at least one that makes the rotor/parking brake combo work.

*I* think it's cool too, but the benefit is probably marginal unless you're some Swedish nut pushing over 750 AWHP. ;)

Yeah think so too, there's also different rotors but i wanted this size to match my fronts. But i dont think ~2mm less hand brake engagement makes that big of a difference :)

Haha yeah that might be true :D

[The Dark Side of Will]

Yes, but the brake shoes stick out about 2-3mm. Dont think that matters much but if you really want im sure you can space out the brake shield the same amount. Or choose a diffrent hub.


Thats cool :D

Do those rotors work with the e30 parking brake?

The '03-'05 Caddy CTS also uses the Getrag 260, but has a different gearset:
3.58/2.04/1.34 vs. 3.82/2.20/1.40 for the BMW units.

Now I need an excuse to use a Getrag 260 with 24V in an iX so I can build a three-component frankentrans.

Thats cool :D
