Can someone show me a pic of a 325ix brake resevior....

[Ryan Stewart]

Installed in the car?

[aaron_silva]

Dont know if this helps...

[Ryan Stewart]

should thanks...

[nando]

if you need a better pic I can go take one. it's pretty crowded in there though, especially with the strut brace!

[NickP]

If this is for the m50 conversion, I wouldn't bother with it... I currently have it installed and it still rubs / distorts against the throttle body / intake hose.

You could either run a remote reservoir or find an e34 v8 reservoir which already has remote lines.

[Ryan Stewart]

Actually that is the route I am about to go because it touches, thanks.

[kylebes1]

is there such a thing as a vacuum reservoir?

[NickP]

Actually that is the route I am about to go because it touches, thanks.

If you find a source that has a couple for sale let me know, I'm interested in one as well

[Ryan Stewart]

Dealer?

[Bryson]

I have ooone. If I decide against another m50 then I'll put it up for sale, but I doubt that it will be any time soon

You're such a tease.

[Bryson]

I know, I know


I actually have a question concerning the use of the ix booster.. do you just bend your stock brake lines to fit the new master cylinder? It's pushed much farther forward and the threads are displaced much closer.. It's either that or order ix brake lines from the dealer :roll: ..unless there is another viable solution, I wouldn't opt to use some type of flexible line between the two

[Ryan Stewart]

Bent some new hard lines. Had to be done anyway because I dont have ABS so I needed to make a two into one for the front.

The master cylinder ports arentt really pushed THAT much farther foward than the stock ones. Half of the MC actually sits INSIDE of the booster. The actuator rod is the same length as the regular E30 so the MC goes into that second chamber and back to meet the rod. The complication was that the rear grommet had to be moved up towards the front and so does the resevior. Now the resevior sits at the very front of the MC versus near the back like the 325i cars.

[Ryan Stewart]

Yeah, definately going to have to go with a remote resevior.

Are the remote lines flexible?

[aaron_silva]

For the looks of etk, they look like hard lines.

Bryson, are you using a remote resevior?
