    I will prolly toss a clip or two up once the weather gets better. Right now its all rainy so all I could do is show me spinning tires.

    Probably going to put the interior back in today and then start addressing the little senders and stuff on Friday during fall break.
    Im now E30less.

        BTW- Was that the only place you could mount the brake resivior? Did you make your own hoses or is that the length that comes with the remote resivior?

              You read my mind. That has been my intention all along, especially since its not a real S50 to begin with.

              Aaron things will be moving. If i can figure out how to route the return hose I will move the coolant resevior up into the E30 M3 location and the remote resevior up behind the booster next to the fusebox.

              The hoses are just generic braded brake hose. The remote lines were hard plastic.

              Now I need a new trailing arm. I just snapped off the swaybar mount.

              Kyle, I need to come back down next time your neighbour is on winter break... :P

                  Ryan, how is it so far?

                  You shouldn't spin too much in the rain, only in 1st-2nd gear. My car with little 205's will hold traction in 3rd in the wet--unless you hammerstand the throttle.

                  I have a trailing arm, let me know if you need one!

                    What did you use for the brake fluid reservoir hoses to connect to the master cylinder?

                      just generic brake hose and the fittings off the remote brake reseviors hard lines.

                      Stu its not THAT bad. First two gears is the main concern and even in second I can hold it high as long as I am ready when it comes "on cam."

                      I have also been yelling "VTEC!" when it goes on cam. Im confident its making it faster.

                              Aaah its the fittings off a 540 / 740 reservoir... I've been looking for those fittings from a few places, no luck as of yet. I can't find the reservoir locally and was hoping I could reuse my reservoir if I just found those fittings from the master cylinder.

                                The 3 liter comes on really, really strong at around 4000-4100 rpm. I don't know about yours, but the exhaust note on mine changes completely when the intake cam advances (4100), and the car goes into a bit of a 'badass' mode. If this is what you mean; I fuckin' hear ya.
