johnprusinski Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Time for an update. I short of maxed my credit card out to buy a perts to rebuild the head on the black e30 and a cage for the v8 swap. The cage has a pretty huge leed time so I probably won't see that for a few months. I did however get my garagistic brake booster delete bracket. I won't go into details about the scrap they sent me. I also bought my pedals and masters. On February 19th I'll be buying coilovers. I also mounted my resivoirs for the pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMart Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Interesting reservoir placement. Any reason they aren't in the bay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Keep an eye on the level as you drive maybe? Would a place let you pass tech with stuff in the cab like that John? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 A guy on BF who has a track e21 has his reservoirs in the cabin as well. So I assume it doesn't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've seen them inside plenty of times but never on the outside of the dash. I've only seen them mounted under the dash centrally or right above the pedal box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Might depend on which orgs you run with. Usually tech rules for racing are stricter than DE, and/or more strictly enforced. There is often the blanket prep rule that if the rules don't say you can do X then you can't do X. The other broad rule that might apply is that hoses in the cabin carrying hot or flammable liquids have to be metal or reinforced (e.g., braided steel for your lines).

johnprusinski Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I will be OK with mounting everything inside the cab. I plan to switch to steal braided lines, but I'm using the rubber lines for mock up, because they came with the masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Definitely unique. Mine are rubber lines as well. I didn't think it mattered all the much being before the high pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnprusinski Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I got some ABS plastic tonight and ended up making a plate and I mounted my resivoirs. Bassboy3313 and DrLeadFoot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Is your bay really that crowded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Same setup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnprusinski Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I wont know for sure until I have everything mocked up in the bay. As of right now everything can be changed and Ill make the final decision once the motor is all done and in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 its like those 1900s race cars where you need a co-pilot to watch/fill the oil level because pistons had no rings and all the oil was dumped right out the exhaust.

CMart Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Are you deleting the heat/vents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnprusinski Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yes, I'm deleting all of the heater vents. I'll be putting gauges in the middle vents and on the driver's side vent. The passenger side vent is just getting blocked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMart Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 That makes things easier. I was hoping you found a way to relocate the atmosphere controls. I would love to use that space for something better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnprusinski Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I took everything out including the heatercore so no heat. I think it would be hard to move the climate controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnprusinski Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 They tore me apart. I don't understand why? The pedals are designed to attach to the masters right above your feet. It's not illegal to have them in the cab either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 They just figure you would want them out of sight and your current location would be better suited for switches of gages. For me it would seem better to try and mount them under the dash right above the pedals to have the shortest lines going down to the pedal. You dont need much room above them because you can fill them with fluid using a bottle pump=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
