Not yet, got the air box installed.. Still some cleaning to do, and I got some lines from Ryan over at Dynasport. My Pressure Washer blew up it's ground fault plug, and so waiting for parts before I can do more cleaning.

^^^ well, yeah..
We had a long discussion about the caliper bolts coming loose recently, since it happened again up at Mission to a driver. Luckily it only exploded his rim and destroyed his tire. One driver had tossed out the idea of Safety Wire, I actually am going to experiement with an idea I stole from my MTB; the disc brakes have the rotor's bolt to the hub, and there is a thin bridging washer between each pair of bolts. This bridging washer has two tabs per side that are bent up and wrapped around the head of the bolt. This keeps the bolts from backing out from the constant rapid heating and cooling. I figured it wouldn't hard to adapt this to the E30 bracket... Will take pix when the final product is done.

Looking good sir. You can also use the factory upper spring pad on the bottom. That should keep everything in line in case you plan on doing some 'Dukes of Hazard' action.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Actually, that is what I did, and slipped the O-ring over it to make it even snugger of a fit! It's worked pretty good so far even with jacking it up and down to swap wheels on and off. Eventually, I may shorten the front housing, but for now, the main goal is get the car on the track next year so I can get through my Novice races.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)
