Strict budget, slow restoration. *Now with moar budget*

Mine's already adjusted to be as far down as possible. Some people cut and thread theirs further down; I don't have that capability. That said, the main reason was for the biasing. E32 master cylinder is a symmetric bore whereas the e30 has a stepped 22mm/17mm bore. Therefore the 735 master gives you considerably more front bias, something this car doesn't need. Better bias is better brakin', not to mention trail brakin'.

[Bimmerman325i]

Yup. If anything, these cars need more rear bias. More front bias feels like you're stopping harder, more rear bias actually does make it stop better.

cosigned. :p

I LOL'ed.

Lol, of course you've already taken it to the max. How could i not expect that. Sounds like the ix mc will transform the cars braking.

Holy hell, i spent all of last night reading this thread from the beginning to present until my eyes couldn't strain anymore and just finished the rest first thing this morning. Wh33lhop is a God to say the least. I want to sell off any decent priced possessions of mines to also go 24v in my eta and try to live it up like your sir. Cheers!

[Panici]

Just skimmed all 51 pages. Great work!

After seeing how clean your e30's underbody is I'm not looking forward to working on my rusty ass car.

[325ix]

Lol. I have. :p

I've never had mine on the track or anything but, it does take quite a bit to engage it.

Even if you don't autox or track your car I would recommend being aware of its limits. Autox is a good place to explore them for a beginner.

Next up, I am excited for this:

Ok, you have my attention...

Any issues with engagement in your LSD currently?

I would love to put my car on an autox course. I've had the abs engage a few times, I was just surprised by how much it took to get there.

[Wh33lhop]

Yeah the braking performance of a regular car is pretty surprising, keep in mind the brakes can lock all four tires at most under-highway speeds with enough pressure, you are only limited by the friction circle of all four tires. The PFC11s I just put on can easily lock up all four r-compounds at 120+, it's pretty ridiculous the difference a good pad can make. I haven't taken the HT10s off my 330 since the last track day either, it's too addicting.

Yeah, on r comps if you unload a wheel or aggressively exit a second gear corner it will roast the inside for days. It was laughable at the last autox, basically useless. I'm not sure my "hopping" problem on concrete will fix itself with a built diff but it should be done regardless.

brake test

[tinkerputzer]

Holy hell! Do those pads make squealy noises?

[Wh33lhop]

They're pretty quiet when cold, but I just put em on so it's hard to say overall. So far they're nearly silent compared to how loud the hp+ or ht10s were after a week though.

Am I correct to assume that video is with the 4.10 diff still?
