Sepang Bronze?

Correct. ;)

[White325is]

Looks awesome. With that said, I hate you right now.

Yeah man I know. I sorry. I wish I could help, but man. I had to whip this out within a few days. I would of had the motor back in if my rear main seal would have came yesterday like it was suppose to.

On a side note, today I did this.

Started with this.



And some of this.



one.



two.



three.



four and five.



and done.



I got white over black because it will add contrast to the dark engine bay and its old school. :)

Sepang Bronze?

Awesome. nice semi-write up. I've been wanting to do it a while, not sure if i have the chops

[White325is]

dude. f'in tight.

Hows your swap running? I got a new number so if you called or txt the old one and I didnt get back to you, That would be why..

. Plus I want to stick an E36 airbox in there.

I have one of them also. I really thought about using it too. You can never go wrong with a stock box and nice filter setup.
Then you dont have to fuck with making a heat sheild and all that jazz.
Hmmm, I wonder if it works with the bimmerworld intake boot?

[Wh33lhop]

That car actually looks great as-is with the carbon black bay and brilliantrot exterior. Gives it some contrast.

I think I'm going to wind up deleting my ABS, one of my wheel speed sensors is gone and it hasn't worked since I got the car. Plus I want to stick an E36 airbox in there.

Its beond amazing. Its gods gift to making brake lines...

[E30SPDFRK]

Yeah that hydraulic flare tool is amazing, makes making brake lines cake.

[evil_twin]

That flaring tool is awesome dude. A friend of mine has the same tool.

[HighOnLife]

very inspirational! Great job :)

[White325is]

Nice - but one suggestion and one questions.

That wiring don't look as great as everything else. This may help. It's better looking then split loom IMHO. Not for the average engine bay - but I assume you'll be keeping you's clean. It's called tech-flux braiding. Unlike other sleeving, you don't need to cut any wires.



Q: Is there a writeup on removing the ABS? I really think I want to do it.

Yuppers. Thats the plan. I used hockey stick tape last time and that stuff is damn close to whats on the wires from the factory. But yeah. I do agree with you. I need to get some..

I dont know if there is a writeup for removing the ABS but its really easy if you have the tool to flare the ends.
This is what I used.

damn that shit is sick.

really makes me want to clean my engine bay. i love the simplicity of the appearance.

In what way does the car feel different without the ABS?

The brakes feel more solid. Seems to stop alot better. I had really bad brake fade before but now its just BAM! and it stops.

ds bro?!?! ds bro?!?!

Nope, It comes on the newer M5's

loving the colour, very flippy like shadow chrome.

Graphite? looks too light for DS to me but always hard to tell in pics

Look above for hint.

Hey come to my car now :)

HAHAHA, You should see my fingers. :???:
