May 12, 2012 update on Protege2886's 1991 BMW 318is

Stopping power, rubber, and safety

update image

The E30 now has new brakes on all four corners. I’m running jobber blanks with HAWK HP+ pads.The brake fluid was (mostly) swapped and all the lines have been bled.

I also primered the spoiler. The car is now getting safetied.

Last night, I picked up my spare set of tires. 205/55 14 R888 on Kosei rims (not K1s though). Hopefully Dad can learn the car on these before thoroughly abusing the 225/45 15 NT01s.

Speaking on chunky rubber, I ordered my extended studs from Vorshlag this week. They should be here in a day or two.

I’ve got A LOT left to do on the car before the end of the month. My events schedule is CRAZY!
