Very curious how the wiring went with that n62 setup and the oem gm stuff. Building out my list of parts for this build, 108*+ deg ambient in the summer.

oh dang those control arms are a really nice kit. Pretty sweet to see alfa romeo calipers. Good update with alot of goodies for the car.

Purchased and installed an ICTbillet ac/c compressor adapter plate kit. bolted in perfectly. The hoses also aligned properly and bolted back in.

Installed the brembos, fit nicely. Running a square setup, it doesnt need spacers in the front, however if, i run staggered, it needs a 15mm spacer minium

[Lantz]

What are the Brembos off?

Perfect timing! I am just about to buy that bracket. I just went to the Pick and Pull and nabbed a compressor from an E46.

I am trying to figure out my hose situation. Just to make sure I understand, you used the original hoses and compressor from the E53? Are you doing anything to get a GM pressure sensor on the system?

I havent decided if im going to use the gm pressure sensor or just bypass it. It is the original hoses and lines from the e53, light bends need to be made in certain areas, otherwise it goes back together as stock

Thanks! I don't think I will be as lucky with the E36 lines, but I will play with those more, and also will see if the E46 lines I picked up do anything useful for me.

Picked up a new set of coolant reservoirs from an F30. Now the coolant reservoir has an updated look, i now have an intercooler reservoir, and the two snap together for a seamless look and full functionality.

[Bluebimma]

Picked up some used F82 380mm rotors this past week. They seemed to have matching specs and even negating need the original spacer adapters i made. Reduced 7lbs per rotor, 32lbs recorded from the range rover, with this setup. The f82 rotor is also .6lbs lighter than the stock 3.0, 6lbs lighter than the 4.6is 355mm rotor. Ordered 2001 range rover sport front hoses, look like a direct fit as well.

Maybe it’s just me, but it appears your images got the axe!

[fallguy]

Yeah lots of pics down unfortunately

[Bluebimma]

Photo bucket taking a shit again. Their services are so subpar nowadays. It’s so pathetic considering most people have migrated simply to Instagram and Facebook.
