Here are a few pics of Tj and I getting some wrench time in. Got Tjs car in the bay cause of the rain :( Tj got the 750 brakes on and I am doing some work on the engine bay. Took my 533 out to the store too to get some things. Hauls butt and definitly needs taht limited slip. Rain = fun but dangerous. Ill add more pictures later of the brakes and the 2 cars together. Here is a sneek preview of the madness !!

CRAZY ATL MADNESS !!!!

Stock 535i Front vs. 302mm? 750 Front Wheels are 15" Mille Migila's

Oh man - brakes only took about 45 minutes to install (including breaks :p ) -- it went so flawlessly!!! Pressure bled themk, still more mushy feeling than my first brakes but hey -- it's better than sticky calipers!!!

A pic of me holding up the rotor via the caliper -- These things stuck so badly that I could be on a steep hill with my foot off the brakes and out of gear and the car wouldn't move an inch... a constant parking brake.

One of the biggest things we did was remove the oil from the head bolt holes.... oh man... there was SO MUCH OIL that we accidently left in there from the head gasket change a year ago - i mean.... ALOT!!! The car smoothed out like mad -- acceleration is so linear it's retarded :p :cool:

A few odds and ends were done as well, improving the overall driveability of the car. I'm suprised by the work we accomplished in 1 full day!

Oh and the exhaust.. yeah... still fudged -- My buddy Brad who knows squat about cars said "Dude I don't know shit about cars but I know for a fact that that (the exhaust) is the most redneck chopped horrific exhaust job i've ever seen!"
Hopefully we can get the TCD one ordered soon... I unfortunantly ran into some major... MAJOR money hogging events. !@#$
