When I think of deleting the booster I remember an old mustang a buddy owned. No power brakes or steering. Even better, it had 4 wheel drum. Thing was a beast.Current: '91 DS M3, '03 TS M3 (6MT)

ya removed the abs used the factory lines re-bent them to the mc. doesn't feel to bad but you can tell no booster. i haven't drove it much yet just around the block few times. my booster also had the extra port for the line some do some don't. if you don't have it just buy the tee from the rear of an e30 where it splits for each wheel.91 e30 318is M50 SOLD

Automatic trans in the e30 probably has more weight then then 5speed I put in. And the engine is further back. I think the aluminium ls motor is 60lbs lighter then the steel. I know it won't handle like my old e30 but should be fun...91 e30 318is M50 SOLD
