i'll disclose the next stages a week or so before they happen so i don't get ahead of myself as i change my mind a lot during my plans. interior shots here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=172392

You can get rx7 calipers with corrado rotors. It'll pretty much run you what new rotors and pads and calipers will run you. I wish I had atleast a little bit of money, so I can get rid of my horrid wheel gap.:(

thinking i'll just wait till after the swap now and see how it feels.

Very clean and looks showroom stock, a very rare find nowadays. Looks good so far, but skip the E36 M3 steering rack; go for a Z3 rack instead. (http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=172261)

i will consider it.

Nice ride, how much did you get her for?

look up one post.

Well sorted stock brakes with good pads and rotors can handle 200 hp easy. And you are the one handling the horsepower, the brakes just handle the speed.

that is good to know as i found out the wheels of choice may not work with a bbk and i probably should take notice that the 325is is only 30hp below the 200hp i'm looking for. so are the brakes and calipers the same on the 325is as on the 318is?

update kinda: still waiting for my coilovers to make it to the usa :(, wheels will be ordered up next week along with some new side grills to match the new center grill, bought a used set of n.a. hella ellipsoids off of ebay yesterday, got my tinted bumper markers and carbon fiber roundels in the mail, and i'm half way on the suspension/brake rebuild - the front is done :) it's taking a little longer than i thought, but at least i'm doing it myself and saving some cash while making sure everything is done right

more parts than you can shake a stick at:



on a side note, the control arms were a bitch until i figured out a great way to remove them. once all this garbage is done, i'll be getting onto the exhaust as it's kinda beat from the cat back. will possibly whip out the heat gun and baseball bat as well and get to rolling the fenders so they are ready to go for the drop :D
