Thanks Bazet! And more importantly, thanks for the rims

 

[bazet]

What've you done to the wheels ?
Polishing ?
Sand Blast ?

 

[Chris Cab]

Yeah, polished the lips & had the centre painted. Just found some original Hartge centrecaps in UK, so hopefully they will arrive this month

cheers fellas....really happy with the result, brakes are amazing, and I finally got to use the wheels I always wanted

I have the same problem .. I have try to change a lot of new parts for the brake system but it still not working well. is the e32 pump system realy work? I have just change a new brake servo how about just replace the master pump? some one said org Bmw brake pad will work very good is that true? thanks.

Zoggee put me on the trail of a Mercedes W123 M/C and he said it would work, and that is correct. It is the same size (23mm) as the E30 M3 but is for non ABS system, hence it has 3 outlets (2 front, 1 rear). A little brake line bending is needed but that's it. Needless to say, the M3 brakes now feel incredible! Massive improvement!! Thanks Zog & Calvin!![/color]

Hi! Chris

Awesome ride, Dude!!!

Was wondering about ur problem with the 2 outlet servo. Had the same problem in my conversion to the e28 servo. Likewise, it had a two outlet master pump. Test fitted the original e21 master pump (3outlet) to the e28 servo and it fitted perfectly. Been using it for about three or four months now. Did you test your e30 masterpump on the e32 servo? Sorry if its a dumb question.

Pics of my conversion

 

[Zoggee]

I'm running on E38 (gerling ) dual servo,and E38 master cylinder.Yes..even tho its running on ABS system...but you'll need some modifications to make works...hehe..now thats my trade secret learned from The Masta Teejay :nyehehe: .And its better then the W123 servos.

Just checkin in to say hey to you guys in KL.........been bizzy with work and turning this average Harley...................

into a bobber.......which I like ALOT more..........

It's a blast to ride and the E30 is getting some rest in the carpark The Harley is just too damn fun!!

Also, I'm entertaining the idea, once again, for an S50/52 swap so could those in the know mind passing me the details again. No need for the "you better have alotta money comments" etc......just would like to know who (hint Zogg, Alvin) can get the halfcuts, how much they are & what workshops have done this swap, and how much they charge for the swap.

Thanks!
Chris

Thanks TJ, but didn't the S52B32 also appear in the non-US M3 somewhere around '95.........perhaps it's OBDII though and can't work in the swap??

The problem i'm having is that my current engine makes the same, if not a tad more torque than the non-US S50....but i've got an itch for some legs, hence M-Power

 

[Zoggee]

dude.....there's one.!!! but its n S50 powerplant.
