How bad do the calipers rub and which calipers are you using? I have M3 calipers and they rubbed on the inner mesh face of my style 5 centers. Took a grinder to the calipers and removed a few mm's off of the "nubs" and they stopped rubbing. Right now they have about 2mm's of clearance, but once the pads wear down a little, the callipers will slide further onto the carriers giving more clearance. My pads are brand new.

I wish I didn't need the 20mm spacer up front (to clear M3 brakes). It's sitting way to low, I can't get in my driveway. It'll stay like this for now. Maybe next weekend I'll raise it up a little.

I'll probably sell these wheels after the summer, who knows.

I bought some depos with predator Orion's. I'm not happy with it. I got them used for $200 and both corner light tabs were broken. Had to use some screws to attach them. Also washed the car and the passenger housing fogged up! What a waste of money!

I was thinking about a mishomoto or whatever they are called, but yeah, there pretty pricey.

I think a friend of mine has a stock one laying around.

I have to look into why this happened. I think my fan went bad.

4cyl models have the expansion tank mounted on them, so most aftermarket aluminum radiators for these cars need to have custom brackets and such to mount an expansion tank. Mishimoto makes a really nice and affordable aluminum radiator for the 6cyl. It utilizes the stock shroud and expansion tank. Someone was talking about retrofitting an aluminum 6cyl radiator to work on their M42/M44. The only difficulty would be hose routing and rigging up a remote reservior.

Newest addition. Only got two done today. Guess ill do the other two next weekend. They were in great condition but I unbolted the center and gave the lips a good polish. It's such a pain to buff it out...they never come out like I expect it to (mirror finish) but oh well...
