Fresh rubber smell down in the garage! I am not used to these tire sizes. It looks really antique to me… I find this very cool, to be...
All clear. I am still debating removing the heads. I am used to do my clearances on my D4 so not too concerned about fiddling in small places. A...

I was talking about discs hardware this time. For the calipers and master cylinders, I did get everything from Brembo. :upyeah: So you removed...
Also started to refurb the braking system. Easy stuff first. Hardware will be entirely replaced. [ATTACH]
More progress!! :D[ATTACH][ATTACH] And more cleaning…:cool: [ATTACH]
I had to look him up… Sorry. What has he got to do with new tools?
