Thanks guys, I have a clip from the day I built the exhaust, I suck at videos and sheit but here it is
It crackles and bangs a lot in downshifts and I love it but it's a bit too loud, I wish I left the resonator in the midpipe but ooh wellLast edited by Fruttolo; 08-12-2019, 03:41 PM.

Love the sound of a loud 24v. Well really all BMW inline 6s haha.
Also late to mention this, but the new wheels setup looks fantastic. 32s are tried and true, but I love the track stance you have now.

The glass-glass arrangement PV boards counterbalance the hazard totally Topsolarproducts and would be a lot more secure to incorporate into the structures. Any breakage prompts a breaking (like in a vehicle wind shield) of the toughened glass spread, for the most part uncovering the polymer (ethylene vinyl acetic acid derivation or EVA) that exemplifies the PV cell.

Little update time!
This chapter we could title:
STOP ME, OH-OH OH STOP ME
If you don't read it singin you a weirdo.
Cringy music apart, we're solving the major problem I encountered in my first track day: stock 320i brakes suck major balls. Managed to cook pads and oil to shit, and both front and rear rotors turned blue. Got them so hot my master blew its seals right out.
Sooo, being I am poor and more prone to building shit than buying shit, over the last months I pieced together a cheap "big brake kit"
Here you can see e46 325i/320d rear calipers, new ATE 325i/320d 294x19mm vented rear rotors, new ATE 325x28 e46 M3 semi-floating front rotors, Alfa Romeo 159 4-pot Brembo calipers, custom milled brackets for the brembos and a full braided brake lines kit to suit. In the calipers are EBC yellowstuff pads.
So I took my time over the weekend, started friday evening and just finished sunday morning.
Rears are pretty straightforward, they bolt right up and even fit in the stock dust shields:
Can't believe those crusty lines from '95 held all the abuse I put them through, guess BMW gave e36s tiny but well built brakes
Fronts were a little more involved. No before shot as I forgot but here's a comparison from old to new rotor
Had to remove the spindle so I could work on it without cooking my paint in grinder sparks
Ground down the infamous square bit on the calipers mounts on the spindle, and killed the dust shields, both because they don't fit with the brembos AND I hope they will stay cooler with more open air around
So here is the finished shot without wheel and with wheel
Also went to a friend's yesterday to have the tyres turned around (inside edge is pretty fucked, hard driving, camber and semislicks life bro) and cleaned the wheels but took no pics cause I'm lazy and it started to rain.
As an apology here is a nice pic, again took by someone better than me at it, at last month's meet in Turin
Now it's time for brakes break-in, then if good weather holds up til the 27th I'll be driving another trackday, can't wait to see if I can improve my time!
It's a painfully slow car but I'll see if I can borrow a gopro to film some laps just for the lolz
Big spicy update is still in the works, waiting for some parts to show up so I have something to look at, so for now I'm outLast edited by Fruttolo; 10-13-2019, 08:52 AM.

Nice!
Driving slow cars fast is more fun than driving fast cars slow."You could roll an E30 in a BMW showroom today and people would think:
Well, they finally got the 1 series right!"

That should make a big difference for sure. I didn’t realize how small the stock brakes are on a 320i, definitely a worthwhile upgrade!

I was wondering what you were up to on, just thought it was a standard brake job. Cant wait to hear what you think on the new setup.My super boring build http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...other-M3-buildInsta Mintyhinrichs

Can't wait to try the new setup, too bad it's downpouring since I finished the install and I didn't even get to back it out the lot
