      I think it might be your computer. My host site is my build site www.ethreezero.com (still under construction) and it is up and running.

        Haha yeah, I've been thinking that myself. However, I'm already so far into it, there really isn't turrning back... I have to atleast see it through and see how it comes out. I am a bit further along on the seat cover, Ill be posting "The interior 2..." tonight. Hopefully once it is done and covered it will look good. We'll have to wait and see!

          Must be. I'll try from another machine.

          Even the link above is a fail for me.

              Yes. P-bucket works here, but for some reason his host does not.

                Mine are not hosted off of photo bucket. They are hosted off of my build site, not sure why they wouldn't work for you. If they dont work when you get home, let me know. I'll e-mail you some pics if you want.

                  yep - you're my kind of crazy. Nice work there. Can't get over your results with a non pre-moulded carpet - wow.

                  Thanks for sharing your project with us.

                      I decided on drilled and slotted rotors for R1 Concepts. They are a company from CA who specializes in only brakes. Of course they are not Brembos, but since I am on a mediocre budget they seemed like a happy medium over some of the extremely cheap brands. I got the Premium set, and the front pair for the 1994 325is setup was about $150. Also, I got free shipping since I ordered; rear rotors, front and rear pads, and E-brake shoes all at once (free shipping was for over $150). The rotors seem to be pretty true and the paint is a good finish, I will obviously not be able to speak on the behalf of stopping power for a while .
                      I have R1 concept rotor on my MK2. It is not the top of their line like yours, but it's still a great product. I have the slotted and drilled ones with posiquiet pads.

                      I tried them hard on track. With about 400 miles on track, they are still straight and they didn't loss that much tickness. First time I lapped them, my instructor got sick ( not because of my driving ;)) and I had to stop without doing any cooling lap. the rotors were blue and smoking! They stayed straight!

                      I think it as a great value for the price!

                        soo great to hear man! Sounds like they will be able to put up with the abuse that I will surely be putting them through!

                            Why shouldn't I use cross drilled brake rotors on lapping session?

                              they crack

                              Great looking project! I'd love to start off with a clean shell.
