Swapped master cylinder to a bigger one from E9X M3.



Bought a roll cage a couple of months ago, rear strut brace was some kind of home made... It was really heavy and didn't flush agains the body so decided to make a new one in Docol R8, Swedish steel locally made just a few km from where I live.

Thank you!


Some photos from last trackday at Mantorp Park in Sweden, car performed amazing and oil temps never passed 115 °C. Never been driving at Mantorp Park so it took some laps to find some kind of base line of where to go.

Messed up tyre pressures first laps, read the tyre pressure in PSI instead of kPa (we use kPa / bar in Sweden) and went out with way to low pressure which you will see in in the pictures. Later on that day I got some vibrations in one of the front tires, thought I dropped a wheel weight but it got worse and worse during the day. Found out that the sidewall of the tyre was damaged on the inside, must be of my pressure misstake.

But overall, great day! Lack some power to keep up with the faster cars though. Will upload a video soon

Some driving if you like to see. Btw, does some of you know any options for final gear? Like a high 3.XX. Need shorter gears...

Grab the diff from an automatic 135i? That has a 3.46 final drive. Then swap your LSD into it. At least that the case for North America cars. Not sure if Sweden got anything different.
