    Really nicely done. You bringing this to Sowo?

    How's the pedal pressure with the booster delete and stock brakes?

        Yeah it'll be at Sowo, the pedal is a bit stiffer but its not bad. Braking power did suffer though with the stock calipers, they're definitely the weak point. I have Hawk pads and nice rotors, but I plan to do an RX-7 upgrade and plumb a bias valve in as well soon.

          Nice work!. I know how much work wire tucking can be... raw fingers... lots of swearing. Takes a LOT of work but is well worth it. Love the stance of your car too!

                Looks really good.

                I think your header wrap takes away a little of the super clean vibe you have going on. It always looks a little scraggly and doesn't age very nicely. Have you considered ceramic coating your header for similar function but a look that matches the sleekness of the rest of the bay ? There are a lot of color choices available.

                Also, if you could lose the fuse box...

                  The header wrap is strictly to cover the shitty looking race lands, after a season of driving with them they looked terrible. And yeah, tucking the fuse box would have been nice, but I didn't want to deal with it, nor did I really want it done anyways. I like the oem feel it still gives the bay. Thanks man

                            Pretty much no easy way of doing it with the e30. All the wires are complete from the fuse box to each accessory/sensor with no connection blocks etc So pretty much all cables going into the bay as well as going to the front end need to be cut and extended.

                            At least that's how i found it.

                            NickL did an awesome job by the looks of it though, one of the cleanest out there!!

                              Can you get a picture of the shock tower? The black makes it hard to see. The upper piece and lower piece dont fit together so smoothly. How did you handle that?

                              Thanks!!
