Did these a couple nights ago.

Cleaned up the holes a little




Brakes are finally bled and the pedal has the proper pressure. Whew! Hopefully changing out the fuel pump this weekend for a known good unit. Also changed my fuel filter out but need to switch it around being I just repaced it like how the other one was on it. After looking closer, the original owner had replaced it backwards. >.<

Question, how did you clean your block? just using a degreaser?

Currently rebuilding the calipers and couldn't help but post a pic of how big the difference is between the front to rear caliper piston's (60mm front vs 34mm rears). Explains why Lee was suggesting I find a 40mm rear caliper to balance the car out.

One of my favorite wheels on the e30 with the e36m brakes. BUT I'm not liking where they are sitting so I'm probably going to go with some e36 wheel with a better offset for this setup.

What size/offset are those wheels? I can see they're the one piece but I thought those were 15's?

i hope this comes in handy in my not so distant future! Thanks so much for the effort!

Still need to finish it. This time of year kills me for time though.

love your build. done right

Thanks man!

Great work you've done! I had the same problem when I ran those wheels with my E36 M 5 lug. Even with 205's on them they rubbed.

Thanks! :)I think that car is what gave me the idea in the first place. Was it flat black? Anyhow, thinking of going with style 42's or DSII's. Really want to get the AST coilover setiup for it next though. So many plans and so little money.
