        Did you change the master brake cylinder when mounting the MOVIT brakes?

          I believe they used one from an old 2000 series BMW that was small
          enough to fit.

          BTW, some pics from last weekend at the Ring:

            Thor you may be referring to the brake booster, the vacuum assist unit, rather than the actual master cylinder .


            Either way great pics and keep up the good work . :up:

                Some pictures from Tauber.

                From their 30 year anniversary:




                Cool pic or what!!!?!?!? 8)


                S14 goodies on display:


                My new 550cc injectors:










                The car is now too rich on low revs but is pulling like crazy on high rpm´s.
                I´ll have it remapped this month and then it´s the Ring the last
                weekend of the month

                  Gorgeous setup. Love the pic w/ the m1 all sitting in the garage. Should be fun w/ the bigger injectors all remapped in.

                    Yeah - the car is supposed to be in 100% condition apart from mapping.

                    The plan was to fly to Hahn on the 24th and drive the car up to Denmark (again)
                    and have Mr. X map it. The Tauber guys were going to bring the car to
                    Nurburg beforehand.

                    From Nurburg to Denmark and back is approx. 2 x 800km, 2 days, wear and
                    tear on the car plus €€€€€€€€€€€€ in petrol.

                    So... I checked how much a flight from Denmark to Munich costs and it turns
                    out it ´s much wiser to fly the master mapper to the car rather than bring the
                    car to him. Then checked if he was willing to spend a whole day on this and
                    he agreed

                    So now the plan is to fly to Hahn on the 24th, drive to Tauber (close to
                    Nuremberg) pick up the car and drive to Munich. Mr. X the mapper shows
                    up on the morning of the 25th and we map during that day and he flies
                    back home in the evening.

                    Which means I will hopefully be driving at the Ring on the evening of the
                    26th with approx. 500hp on tap after picking up a mate at Hahn on the
                    way to the Nurburg.

                    Now with my luck - what are the chances this will all go smoothly???

                        Wrong in so many ways - only managed 3.5 laps :-x

                        New CP 8.5:1 forged pistons being ordered along with some more stuff - gotta
                        make that damn motor bulletproof.

                              Damn, that is horrible. This is ending up to be quite a money sucker. I hope you get it all buttoned up and are happy with it in the end.

                                I´m used to difficult births... had a similar problem when my
                                M5 was supercharged but then it was even worse because the
                                block cracked
