Unfortunately hasn't been on a dyno yet. The cobb does seem to run smoother and with less problems than the procede I had on it originally.

Forgot to post pics of a freshly washed turbo taxi for the first time in months.

Only phone pics. Unfortunately no Socket spec photo porn.

They are actually the standard calipers

I got the blue paint from the ricer section at autobarn..

Rotors were $599US but shipping costs were horrendous even with the exchange rate back then.

MJ80. · 07-29-2016, 08:35 PM

When you take the calipers off to paint do you have to bleed the lines or anything ? Whats involved ?

nompower · 07-29-2016, 09:31 PM

For the previous car I removed the caliper, striped it down, taped it up and used multiple coats of paint. I even filled in the m logo with colors..

For the e92 I couldn't be bothered and left the caliper on. Just mask off the disc and other parts of the wheel well with newspaper and spray. Use brake cleaner first and give it a good scrub.
I then sprayed down a silver base coat followed by the slightly translucent blue coat. Temperature wise, the blue seems to have held up fine but I don't track the car..

Your wheels, discs and calipers look good.

Do you know what brand and exactly what colour you used for the blue?

Looks really good and this is the exact blue I want to do the e46 calipers in
