In the past, you only need a cage to run tandem. I would assume that still applies.

Burt Reynolds would totally dominate that shit.

A few things are running through my mind.
• I think my suit is expired.
• I need a REAL 110% FUNCTIONING e-brake setup
• Power would be nice.
• Are there any new rules that have been put in place that I need to know about?

This shit is basically two weeks away... leaving two weekends to get the car prepped and ready. I'm TOTALLY SLAMMED with work from every angle imaginable right now (and then some).

My suit probably smells awful from sitting in a bag for a full year but it's all yours if you need one. Should be good too, didn't buy it until 07.

They aren't pads... they li'l tiny drum shoes on the inside of the rotor. It is really just a parking brake, and doesn't control the rear caliper at all.

It does lock up sometime... but if I'm going to spend the money to run, I don't want to take any chances. I don't want to walk away saying "if only the e-brake would have locked up".

i hate how bmw makes their ebrakes...you cant event tighten it up like the nissan by the handle, you have to go underneath the car to do it (at least thats how it is in on my e34)
