New front rotors. Hopefully she'll stop when I put my foot on that pedal!


I'd like to rebuild my calipers too because I know there has to be some funky shit back there. When I bled my brakes a little more than a year ago I used an empty coke bottle to pour all the old fluid into, and by the time I was done it looked like it was a new bottle of soda. Who knows how long that fluid was in there for, at least 6 or 7 years...

Not a bad idea! One of those, and another under the glove box, would really help throw some light down in the interior and make it less dim, giving it a slightly more "modern" look.

That's the idea! Can't take credit for it however, I think it was the member gluklich or something that I stole it from.

Clutch line is fully installed and ready for shifting!


Also a little non v8 modification, picked up this airbag knee panel a few years back and I finally got around to messing with it.
Step 1 cut a hole

Step 2 insert light of one's choosing (pretty sure this is an e34 vanity mirror light?)

Step 3 profit!
(Will insert picture when wired in)

This light fits OK. The spot I chose has a little too much curve so the bezel sticks out a little, but all in all the whole thing shouldnt be visible so I'm not too worried. If I were to do it again I would probably choose a smaller light.

Clutch line in the house! Went with the chase bays line through neue motorsports in an effort to reduce the chance of leaks and flare errors. Seems to be high quality and it even came with adapters. Ordered a custom length and it's at my door a week later!

Customer service is on point!

Got some exhaust work done! This is about from the shifter to just behind the axle.


Some miscellaneous odds and ends new tps, some radiator mounting stuff, and overflow tubing. Decided to give the 540 stuff a try and it seems to route nicely to the back of the engine compartment.



Made some brackets to rotate the oil filter. Planned on just pivoting the filter from the bottom bolt but the housing contacted the frame rail so I had to space it up about an inch

Terrible picture but you get the idea.

Hey bud, don;t think I saw your pedal setup? I'm having a problem with my clutch not engaging.

Specs on my build:

M60
E34 530i 5 speed
TTV Flywheel that adapts to 240mm clutch packs
E36 M3 clutch kit
Wilwood 5/8" or 3/4" master(leanin more towards 3/4")
E34 530i Clutch Slave.

Clutch does not quite engage even after rebleed & adjustment to the wilwood pedal setup. Any tips?

Honestly man I don't even know if mine will work. My setup is based off of a lot of internet research lol.

E34 530I 5 speed
E34 530i slave cylinder
Wilwood 3/4 m/c
Jb racing e39 540i ltw flywheel
And some ebay e36 m52b28 clutch kit

I'm missing the line to connect the m/c to the slave so I haven't been able to test out my setup.

I'd suggest contacting ttv and see what they have to say.
