    So I kind of took a step backwards this week. After futher inspection of the interior of my car, more rust was found. So the decision was made to get the whole body media blasted and a baked on primer applied. This thing just turned into a complete resto-mod.

      So what do you know about brake boosters?? No booster means a lot of pedal pressure; the flimsy seatback mechanism can't take it for very long.

        No booster does not necessarily mean stiff pedal if the pedal ratio is good and correct mc is used though...aka tilton/wilwood configs.

            not entirely true.

            provided the pedal lever ratio is 6.25:1, the pedal feels like a 25mm master on a boostered 4:1 ratio pedal.

            boostered pedals keep a 4:1 lever ratio.
            boosterless pedals should have a 6.25:1 lever ratio.
            i have not used the "massive" unit, but i have used his products and they are top notch. i would also assume it uses a 6.25:1 ratio.

            for reference:
            owned 15+ e30's, a few converted (m50, m50tu, s52, s50b32, s54 .... now ls2)
            built, daily driven, tracked and logged over 50k miles. used multiple brake system combinations.

              Does retaining the ABS change this in any way?

                      Nice. I'm assuming that you've seen the LS3 that Kevin Byrd put in his M3 on Two Guys Garage. I bought the s14 out of this car off of him a few months ago.

                          is there a link where we can get details of that build?

                          Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!
