cheers mate!

was tempted to go back to the donkeys ears oem ones for a little while
but then found these so im happy now!
should hopefully have an update on the acs lip soon too!

[m44lee]

just a small update ordered some braided hoses but they only had yellow left in stock and was in a rush to get this 330ci brake conversion done so went for it!
gonna be using yellowstuff pads so it should all tie in!

[m44lee]

2 bigger updates today first of all i fitted the 330 brakes! didnt start till fairly late thinking it'd take me an hour or so! :roll: well a few snags later such as the bleed nipples being seized and one of my discs not coming off untill i drilled out the screw! :evil: with the worst drill bits that i think were made of choclate! it started getting late and i decided i'd leave the master cylinder and servo till 2morro!
anyway a few pics along the way!

original brakes!


forgot to do a disk comparison pic but im sure you all know the standard 286mm and the 325mm of the 330 brakes
but i expected the pads to be bigger but they are pretty much identical!



i think the yellow brake hoses tie in nicely with the kw coilovers and i plan on using yellowstuff pads again too!
and yes cleaning all the arches and waxoyling them is gonna be coming soon! ops:



all bled using the halfords 1 man brake bleed kit!



all back together!






and also i know there is a few wanting to see the results of the splitter!
so i wont keep you waiting as i got some pics off andy! and to make it a bit more unique we've gone for split of the weave in the middle so ///////\\\\\\\\\\ instead of ////////////
anyway i'll let the pics do the talking!









as always comments good or bad are welcome!

Hey Lee, absolutley love the E36 As said already, the wheels and coilovers really set it off but the carbon goodies just add subtle touches to it

I just got a titan silver E36 318is myself and was wondering if you would be kind enough to give me some advice with regard the kw's? I want to get V1's/V2's and was hoping you could tell me where you got yours and what they cost you? pm me if you prefer

Much appreciated, Seany
