Lol since ive been on ziptied this is the only thread on here i cruise. I like 5.0 swapped e30s. Dont judge me.

Also sorry about not replying to the gents who posted on the last page, I only just saw them a few days ago and it's been a crazy few weeks and finals are just starting up, I promise I will replay to you when I can. Well, unless Jarrid has responded to them all :)

Are you using a stock clutch mc? Trying to figure out if i can get away with a stock mc and that slave setup i posted on your fb. If not ill be going with the setup that bolts up to the stock location and uses the wilwood reverse setup. Everything bolts right in that way. Its an extra $100 on top of the wilwood pedals but worth it to have no hassel ithink.

Nope, I'm using the entire Wilwood kit, definitely worth the money! There is a way to run a Miata master/ slaver cylinder, I'll try to find you the info on that!

Also hows your pedal feel on the brakes? Mines like a brick but i dont think its been relocated up yet. Its funny when i get into the s4 after driving the e30. Ima put myself through the windsheild one of these days if im not careful.

Still need to final bleed them, but yeah, like a brick hahah. Pretty progressive up until about half way through the throw, then you just have to really get on them. Then again, I think I was just starting to wear off the break-in material on the Ceramic pads when I had to leave to get back to college.




Not much on the update side guys, got the Massive Boosterless brake setup in, along with installing my EBC Red stuff ceramic pads. A lot more is in the works, exhaust being one of them, red Sparco fixed backs being the other ;)

Ha! I know the pedal gynastics well! Its an even bigger pain when you gotta deal with a cable setup . Hoping to get that hydro setup soon.

You'll love it! Just got my boosterless stuff installed, so I just need to floor mount the clutch pedal and I'll be set.

Some small updates,

Tried to take video, I failed. It was on the timer setting.





Started cleaning up the bay a little,







Got sick of air/ noise/ exhaust coming in from the shifter console/ hole, so I put a small rubber gasket in it and threw on the boot that came with the car,




Then put the door cards in, I didn't find the door pulls until late yesterday, but you know what they look like.

from,



To






Put the top bracket back on to keep the radiator more still, working on a temporary shield to help direct air.





A lot of people have been asking about wheel fitment and such, so here's some better pics. Wheels are effectively(20mm spacers) 15x8 +5, with 225/45 RS3's. Hard roll and pull in front, same for rear. Pics came out really weird for some reason, these are raw pics so sorry about the lighting.








Started cleaning up the surface rust in the trunk due to the leaks, will be painted black soon.





And some random pics, the last is from my buddy Miller, and that's me performing gymnastics in the car getting the brakes pedal on. Some bigger updates in the coming days.

Also. I saw a set of supposedly ready to run blockhuggers in the classified. I think he wanted $350 plus shipping. Im 600 into wrapping mine around the front and the ovalized piping on mine. So its a good deal.

[eurotrash]

You can buy a long tube and reroute a runner or get blockhuggers and prob also do at least 1 custom runner. If i had to do the swap again thats prob what id do.

Fun did you ever test out those muffler insert things?

[325ix]

awesome, do you have any pics of it trimmed down?

And before I buy a bunch of shit, is there any way to run the exhaust without wrapping the driver's side around the front of the motor?

From what I have seen, no. Everyone seems to do it that way. You could possibly make a custom header like Jake did in blunt's e12 though.

And yep, trimmed mine down and didn't have any issues in that part of the tunnel.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Didn't mean to sound like it should be obvious, if that's how I came off haha. I'm just making the point, I'm not trying to act like it's completely mine when it's not.

[ak-]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[FunfGan]

What do you mean not yours?

I mean I didn't pay for all of it, nor is it in my name. I thnk said that before, I try to make sure I don't make it sound like I pay for all of this, or deserve any of it. My parents, father especially, is the one who got me into cars and has helped me immensely with this project.


I believe this is what derailed the last thread, actually. When I said the same thing and was then attacked by various people.
