- Hey Everyone,
Today we are tackling one of the biggest issues with my e30. The car feels like it has absolutely no stopping power. As the whole goal for the car is having fun on a backroad, this is something we need to fix as soon as possible. This time however, we are taking a much more interesting approach than we did with the other cars.

The taste on editing and overall result in the video is like Hollywood. Excellent content too.

Loved the Pulp Fiction surfer music & briefcase reference. Well Done!
The music in your videos is always so perfect. Always great selections.
It takes me forever to pick the songs so I'm glad to hear you think they fit as well as I do! Thank you for the support!
Editing/Narration/Transitions definitely giving me Ferris Beular Vibes. Keep up this style, much more entertaining.

Excellent video
hey dude, are you from Spokane? I also have an e30 and recently stumbled upon your content. You make high quality videos, keep it up.
Hey man! Sorry for the late response! We should definitely chat sometime since you have an e30! Your channel is awesome by the way!
I really recommend replacing the brake fluid. It will make pedal feel better and reduce brake fade
2:15 that's some major pulp fiction vibes
Exactly! It's a great film for sure!
@@HunterDirection one of my personal favorites :)
@@Nothy I completely agree!
Great series bro, I’d suggest upgrading the exhaust and stage 2/3 clutch to help with launches
The PFC pads are really good.. They will however eat through those rotors much faster though. Great car to pick as a project.
Awesome video.
Thank you!
On street legal rubber E30 brakes, specifically 4 wheel discs, are capable of locking the wheels at any speed when kept in good shape. If you want better stopping get better tires. If on the other hand you want better feel, modulation and less fade get better pads and a good racing spec fluid so the pads are good but the cooling ducts are overkill, a good high temp fluid will be more effective. If you want the appearance of performance at the cost of the real thing get silly big wheels, silly big brakes, silly low profile tires and a painfully stiff suspension set up and have fun until your lower spine gets compressed.
Will this kit only work with specific coilovers? Also, did you find the undertrays? Great content and editing. Keep it coming
You missted should have sprayed the rotors with brake clean to get oils off. Another thing for brake feel might want to do braided lines. Always a good video would love to find e30 for myself.
5:03 I could be wrong but I believe that speedometer has been swapped with one from an early e30; it's supposed to go up to 150. I also want to say it's supposed to be a "VDO" instead of Motometer but I'm less sure of that.
like i said, ill be here again lol. them airways for the brakes are a very interesting concept. ive never seen anything like them before , you think over time the flex tube will be bad??
Fantastic question. Every part of a car has a shelf life and I'm sure that hose will be no exception. The cool thing is it's pretty cheap by itself and would be an extremely fast swap if I ever have to. It was pretty difficult to cut though so I wouldn't be surprised if it lasted quite a while.
I’m doing a v8 swap and unsure if this upgrade will be enough. Would appreciate any thoughts on an optimal set up. Thanks
I would’ve also installed stainless steel brake lines.
Seems like a good mod to cool down the brakes, but for that price till what point is worth it? in uk a set of wilwood 4pot brakes is 500£, I can be wrong but probably will be better, since is more disc surface as well
That's a really good point and it all has to do with the racing class itself. To comply with Spec E30 the car has to maintain stock calipers to be class legal. But AAF has also done a ton of testing with larger calipers and as they found the stock ones are quite capable for the weight of the car. I am sure the wildwood are great though!
@HunterDirection that is a really nice feedback thanks, might try to find a cheaper way to do same thing
The cooling kit is overkill for the street, even spirited driving. You can get them to 600F and they won’t fade
You are spot on! It's very overkill, but it's also pretty sweet and will work wonders for my long term plans for the car haha!
They don’t really need to be more than “hand tight”. The caliper pins are only about 25 ft-lbs.
Which pad compound: 08, 11, or 331? I'm looking to purchase fronts/rears this week.
The pads I'm using are 08, I just went and double checked for you.
@@HunterDirection thank you kind sir
@@HunterDirectiondo they bite well when cold? Any noise ?
🤜🏻🤛🏻👌🏻
👌
You should wear gloves ;)
It was all the pads, you could have done without the brake ducting.
Brake ducting defiantly does help with cooling. Unnecessary for the street but you notice the difference on track. But I agree for this test wouldn’t have made a difference in stopping distance
