The twins were the first think I noticed. Ryan, quit picking on Steve he has become quite the mechanic. He must have bleed his brakes 6 or 7 times last time we were at the track.

I like how they upgraded, but left room for improvement. One day they'll be able to put a LS7 in there and make some real power.

That's an "S62" BMW V8 from the E39 M5. Really an awesome V8, and stock is just under 5.0 liters, 400hp, 369ft-lb, nice wide torque curve, etc, but an LS7 would have been a heck of a lot cheaper to get to any power level I would think. Even so, keeping it all BMW apparently is their goal.

no Rob, some of my "less critical friends" helped me. well and Cline helped some too. :lol:

as this is getting way off topic, the cause of my unusually long pedal travel may be attributed to excessive caliper flex. Dave is looking into this. :wink:

OOOHHHH Yuck..... :shock: Don't worry Tom, Steve can actually do stuff he just chooses to spend his money elsewhere and doesn't like to get his hands dirty. Your car is safe.
