Nice! Can't see why more people don't use the V8s in E30s over here!


Any ideas yet on the brakes yet? You going to mount the servo again or go with a pedal box?

Best method of using the pedal box or at least the neatest was using it up in the battery tray or else putting it in behind the glove box

Cheers dave have been focusin mostly on the manifolds yet
But thought I would go the pedal box routh but was thinking now I might be
Able to mount the servo back wards behind the dash on the passengers side kinda
Where its originally just on the inside facing inwards

[DaveM-sport]

Yea, a lot of people mount it in there but you mount it sideways rather than backwards. Actually works well as there's one less link to worry about so its just the linkage on the brake pedal and then te linkage bar that ones across behind heater motor acts on it directly.

Pedal box is probably the most straight forward option though especially as its going to be a track car anyway.

Ya ial have to look into it anyways have a cheap oul pedal box there for a mk2
I wouldn't mind putting the grinder to see would it work
