Gearbox is back in and most of the underside is mounted again except for the driveshafts.

Think Friday I can finish the engine bay.

It's a nice airbox. Don't know how it will mount to an M56 gearbox. Also the MAF has a different diameter with this type of airbox.

As far as I'm informed these brakes came from a pretty new wreck. The stock pads are with it.
Although there is always something better I never really had any problems with the stock setup on both my former R's.
The V70R rotors started to cone after a while but mileage was more than acceptable. S60R used half a set of front pads after 8 laps of Nurburgring. Rotors were pretty new at the time and showed slight vibration after these laps. Since the S60T5 has less weight I expect these brakes to behave similar if not better.
