I honestly haven't.

I've looked at bolt on options and the like. The OEM brakes, with good pads and rotors, haven't really let me down.

But, I'm planning on eventually completing the SC build...

Oh man I am a sucker for all things Wilwood.

Sounds like initial setup is a bit of a bear. But, I'd say it's worth it for that much of a difference over stock.

I'll have to check them out.

Thanks brother :). I was honestly more surprised than anything. But, we were both okay :). After spending years responding to car accidents, it really helps put into perspective what matters.

Sorry about your bumper as well lol. The nice thing is that these aren't horrifically expensive to replace.

I'm ordering mine pre-painted. I've heard good things about it and if they have the...

Welp. Someone backed into the ZHP this morning on the way to the office.

Dude in a lifted TJ slipped off the clutch too early while pulling away from an uphill light. One of his back wheels...

That's a good idea. And nice work!!

I've got some 3M Silver wrap that I plan to use on my CF hood and trunk later this year. It's a close enough match that you can't really tell unless you're...

Rewired the halo and accent lighting for my headlights today. They came with 24 gauge wiring so I stepped it up to 14 gauge as car fires are no bueno.

Soldered everything back up and sealed the...

There's a few threads on here about changing things out that can make maintenance much easier. A few of us have swapped the hex bolts for the pulleys to 10mm for example. Little things here and there...

Delete that CCV! If you can pull it off in your state. And the cooling system in the E46 isn't bad. Very straight forward actually when compared to many other engines. Take a look at the cooling...

Agreed. I mean, I'm a mechanic... I should be used to it. And yet, each time, I'm always saying a prayer lol.

Awesome!!!!! That sounds like it's gonna be fun!

Haha don't [emoji6]. And thanks! I am as well. Man I was sweating the whole time I was refilling and purging the cooling system.

Expansion tank and one of the coolant lines.

The line that ran to the bottom of the block had a hairline crack at the tank connection. Led to the car dumping it's coolant on I95 the other day.

Alright. Just got back from the test drive.

It passed a leakdown test and data logging showed no timing issues or temp fluctuation. And the only thing coming out of the pipes is the sweet smell...

Welp, pulled the Rein tank today. Good news, it's fine and stands up to a pressure test. Bad news, the bottom hose has a hairline crack right at the connection. Better news, I have a full set of...

Will do, Fredo. And that makes two of us. Really hoping I got lucky here.

Honestly surprised me. Never had an issue with Rein units before. Perhaps this one was made on an odd day of the week or...

Welp, my new Rein expansion tank blew on I95. Pulled over pretty quick but she was in the red so... Gonna get a tow home and do a leakdown test after getting another tank it looks like.

Finally got around to stuffing the rear deck lid with tennis balls and foam blocks. I can now resume listening to Tristam and Bela Fleck in peace.
