[nomansland92]

For now just stock rebuilt calipers and good rotors and pads. I'll be upgrading to a bbk soon hopefully I just haven't made up my mind on which one to get

[iXguido]

What brakes are you using?

[AWDBOB]

Freshly welded bimmerhead cylinder head just came in! Just waiting on main and rod bearings to ship so the machine shop can finish up the bottom end so things can start to get serious

[nomansland92]

I want a video of the take off after this is done!

Haha will do, it's slowly getting there, there should be lots of updates to come in april!

Looking good. I am working on my 3.1 stroker turbo iX this spring too. Just trying to get my MS2 working right now. Why did you remove the ABS?

Awesome! I thought about going with a 3.1 but I got a good deal on a forged 81mm crank. Ill be ordering a ms2 soon hopefully, are you doing wasted spark? And I deleted the abs because it never worked and I would have needed all new sensors and probably more.

Nice :)

[nomansland92]

Waiting on some more parts so I decided to clean the brakes up a bit

[E30NJ]

Guten is the best. Nice work. Subscribed!

[nomansland92]

Nope that was including the core, I thought about rebuilding mine also but the more I looked into doing that, it seemed like nobody wanted to rebuild them. And I heard horror stories about splitting and reattaching the case

[rzerob]

They offer them for 1600 + shipping. I just made the drive to pick it up to save a little money.

Is that including the core? Or did they give you money for that? I ask because I was considering buying another manual and rebuilding it myself. My transmission shifts good and I have no issues other than the infamous Getrag rattle. But if I bought a rebuilt one I don't see the point of rebuilding my old one and if the price is cheaper with the core than that is even better.

Ya that's what I thought, I wasnt playing a guessing game and spending 800 on a used one that will have bad synchros in another year. And since reliability is my number one goal, I expected this build to be expensive
