    A couple of my friends at work and i have our carrier caps machined and have been running them that way for months/years without issue. I'm pretty sure that's how everyone does it

            Haven't posted much because I've been buttoning up my e28.
            That car is running well 14psi no issues all fun.

            For the e30 I got a heckblende from a friend for cheap.
            I like how it looks, and plan on lightly smoking the tail lights and heckblende mhw style.


            My brother got me pads and rotors for the front and I put in my old camber plates off the e28. Painted the calipers yellow.


            Finished up mounting fuel cell and pumps/filter and wiring.


            Started mounting my diff, need to finish it this weekend.


            Ordered lips for the work equips, need to finish rebuilding t56 and order a driveshaft.

              I've never seen a heckblende on an e30...I actually kind of like it.

                Good idea on that diff reinforcement.
                The stock bracket/bushing is a common weak point.

                    Front lips showed up today, perfect fit. Just waiting for the rears and I have to decide on the finish for the faces.

                          This is too good! What size rotors for the brakes?

                            I wonder how clear coated primer looks like.

                              i think the fronts might be 350mm, that's what goes with the calipers anyway

                                Yeah primer with polished lips and yellow calipers looks killer.
