    Pre-bent and all? Impressive.

    Now I've got the itch to work on my car.

    Ugh. Lol.
    You mean the fuel lines? Oh those I had to special order from the dealer. The brake lines I got from vatozone and had to bend myself.

    I've been following your thread, get at it! :p

      What master cylinders are you using? I missed some of the details. Can you share? I will be using a similar setup in my car. Also what flywheel did you end up using? I recall you were looking to resurface one?

        I used two Compact Remote Flange Mount Master Cylinders in 5/8" bore for the brakes, and 3/4" for the clutch, in combination with Garagistic's brake booster delete bracket. The write-up for that is located here.

        For the flywheel setup, I went with an OEM replacement from Luk for the M60B30. Part # 21211223508.

              Update: September 3rd

              On four wheels again!

              Got my E36 steering rack and big guibo 325e driveshaft installed. No more bus-like steering! Still need to hang up the exhaust, bleed the clutch, mount my cooling system and finishing putting back the interior together. Getting things done as parts arrive in the mail.

              The car is on Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs and Bilstein shocks for now but I'm in the process of getting coilovers. Also, I'll be doing a late model bumper swap in the upcoming weeks.

              I plan to take a crap of load of high quality pics of the car after I get everything put back together so it can stand as a reference for other people, but here's some from today after rolling it out to clean the garage.

                does your pan touch the subfram or the rack at all with those revshift mounts?

                  Almost. I'm considering to get either Condor mounts or notch the pan later on.

                        Should be another few weeks, just waiting on suspension and other goodies to arrive in the mail. Your exhaust lines up great! Just need to play with the v-band clamps until I have it flush with manifold. What about you?

                              Damn Frank, you moved fast!

                              Ordered E39 525DTS mounts two nights ago like Garagistic recommended for their setup so I'll see how those work differently. These revshift ones have settled far too low and the pan started to touch the subframe.

                              Also, I have coilovers and an M-Tech 2 wheel coming next week. BTW anyone have a E30 blower fan speed switch for the HVAC? (part #61311381201). I need one on the cheap if anyone's got one, I can't find mine in the garage and I'm finishing putting the interior back together.

                                Happy to see this came in today. It's a 385mm fine spline I got from overseas.
