Installed my new brakes today. They are IE's 310mm 6 piston wilwood based kit. My kit came with the cross drilled rotors and bp20 pads. This car should see more track time then before so it was a needed upgrade. The clearance on these are amazing. To run the style 5s with the RX-7 bases kit i'd need 22mm spacers. With the wilwood kit i only need about 4mm. I'm going to get some 5mm hubcentric spacers made so i can have a little wiggle room. The way the pads load up is awesome. Brake pad changes take a minute. No tools required.

Fuck yeah, very nice!

Well i finally got the car running, kind of. Seems that either the TOB or pilot bearing did not seat properly and i'm getting a horrible screech sometimes. Also my TPS took a dump so i'm forced to scrounge around for a working m50 one. So far the one i picked up does not feel that great. I'll plug it in and hope for the best. Just need to finish printing my adapter plate.




Version 1.0 was off by .75mm so i'm printing 1.1 as the final part in black ABS

3d printer, I like. I might be interested in a M50 TPS adapter thing if you decide to make a few extra.

[Jalves619]

In for pics of the 3d printer. Is that a commercial one or diy?

[Cronopoulos]

Wow that is badass, nice work!

[Jalves619]

Awesome. I'm still collecting parts for my mendelmax (reprap inspired), but spending all my money on e30 parts isn't making that project move any faster.
