Four door S50 swap

Back the bus up a bit.

Explain to me again why you think it's a good idea to remove the factory ABS and install "bias brakes"???? This makes no sense at all.

The brake slave master cyclinder on the 87 is different than on the 88 and up. So with that you do notice a brake feel difference that can be made up by removing the ABS, this tends to really be felt with front end load up.

Huhmmderp :|

Just some friendly advice. I wouldn't touch the ABS or anything like thy.. Your putting more power in, you'll need all, if not more, braking power than you had before. Upgraded MC is A great start, but I'd also do everything in my power to make it work. Even with the upgraded MC, that's putting a lot of loa on your brakes at extremely high speeds which could lead to brake failure. AKA, that wouldn't be good..

I can't like those wheels or rear bumper.....

So you're saying a 17 year old kid will be able to stop this car better with a brake bias adjustment than with factory ABS?


Where did you read about this?



And what's a "brake slave master cylinder"?

did anyone else notice the K-Sport coils? or the awesome welding on the seat rail frame?

OP, Im not trying to hate, however if you really want to establish yourself especially with a hard-ass community like R3v, you need to step it up a little bit.

interesting...

Well the K-sports came down to the customers budget. What I offered at first were ground control but the extra money for him was too much. Yes I know that K-sports aren't top of the line however they aren't garbage such as the rancho coilovers which I would never allow. The seat rails were a hybrid of BMWfactory offered rail and what had to be made to fit the seat. While the welding my not be beautiful they are how ever extremely strong and truth be know a little over enginnered for the safety point. I would rather have an ugly weld than an unsafe restraining point.
Oh! No offense taken like I said before, this is the inside of a hamburger, it may look ugly while it's apart but when put together it is oh so good. This will be the same.

Budget beater E30 built to run the track twice a year and take the kids to school 5 times a week..... Hmmm. Re-think your parts strategy bud.

Well look who decided to use my paint guy??? That interior actually came out nice... Lets see how the paint job turns out to button her up.. GL Tradel..

[MR 325]

Wait, he's leaving the fucking rear bumper like that? Lord save us.

I pointed out the rear bumper fitment as well in person today. The shop that sold him the bumper also installed it but the so, the current shop where its at now felt they will end up working on that issue and cleaning it up before shooting it black..

The interior does look good and sporty tho.

[tradelm3]

thanks Mr Wiggles glad you liked the look. Once the final filement is done this will shape up pretty nicely. I am reaaly happy with the interior stereo and the performance of the car. This final step will pull it all together and the fit and finish will cap it off well. Thanks for looking at it with an open mind.

Almost finished need to get the details done and put together final pictures

[tradelm3]

hated the valve cover paint scheme kicked that shit to the curb. It is amazing how when you think of an idea how fuckin' shitty that idea was. I placed it under the hood and just hated and hate is to soft of a word on how much I hated it. So just blaine black
