realy nice thomas

Thanks

Oil fill will be though the breather catch can return.

[afterthought]

Man that valve cover came out so cool. I tried doing similar once by grinding the ribs off then powdercoat but it doesn't come out near as perfect

[Thuppu]

Started to improve the breather system, as my previous simpple system isn't good enough. Need a different outlet on the valve cover, the rear isn't good. There will also be a return to the sump...

Modded a 7A valve cover to a PKK Motorsport version.











EDIT!!!! impossible to post pics with mobile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheapy way for the hose is any rubber one of 220+ mm length. I bought Corteco 19018506 so far. BMW saves the world

Not bad, only 4€/piece, thanks.

But braided lines are way better of course. Dreaming of building all that stuff of stainless too.

I was initially intending to use Audi 314x25 solid discs but accidentally came across 2-parts rotors designed for S2 precisely. Bracket with my sizes works well with the 314x25 disc. My mate has been daily-driving a car with such setup for a long time already.

Long story short, solid brake disks from Audi А6 (4F, C6) 314x25 4F0615301D or 321x30 4F0615301E can be used. They are 5x112 and have Audi centre hole: re-drilling them to 4x108 may be easier for somebody than enlarging centre hole of FF-RS disc. Just an option.

Thanks Alexander. Two piece discs are just too expencive for the moment, and already bought Focus RS discs. But what brake hoses do you guys use with these calipers?

I have converted my brake system to AN3 fittings and hoses:
- calipers have M10x1 to AN3 adapters
- brake master cylinder has M12x1 to AN3 adapters
- hoses are stainless braided PTFE with reusable AN3 stainless hose ends.

Over the hoses I use shrinkable tubing with glue - that way no water or dirt gets in the stainless braid of the hose.

I really like AN3 as you can disassemble and reassemble it multiple times with no damage and when tightening you get a very positive feeling when it's tight.

All stainless means also no rust and no stripped nuts and bruised knuckles when swapping my smaller winter brake setup (smaller brakes for the smaller studded tyres/rims) to the summer one (728i brembos with Focus RS discs).

Cheers!

And here is afterburner's sketch with sligthly modified sizes for 314mm disk. That's a discussable option.

[Thuppu]

Thanks. I will try them, only need to lasercut a pair. Looks that I only have to use shimms to get the caliper et right. I had missed that thread, even that I tried to use forum search of these calipers.

[afterburner]

If you still have no adapters - here's a thread with cad drawings of the ones that I'm using http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59995

I havn't had any problems with the brakes, but anyway I ordered e38 4-pot Brembo calipers and 324x28mm Ford Focus RS mk1 discs. Some refurb work needs to be done before use.
