H,

are you going to remove and retint the rear glass. 3pc tint looks hideous.

Also question about the front brakes, are the bleeders supposed to be on the bottom or the top?

Yeah, I don't like that. Good catch. Will need redoing. Why the heck would someone do that in the first place???

The bleeder nipples face up  - the pic with them down is the rear caliper - I have to switch balance tubes & bleeders with the rear mount location on the C30

Many, Many thanks to Kissinger on C30Crew for his pics of the CEIKA setup on his C30 - Helped immensely with installing the lever & cable bracket in the correct orientation
 
brackets & eBrake mechanism

Hoses they provided were too long, so I used the ones from the V70 (R1405008)

EC47EF0A-B44F-4A6D-BE4D-E4DE42BFC4D0_zps

cable & hose routing - I used the little hose support they provide  to locate the hose on the outside of the original bracket, and used the original to route the cable without any harsh angle changes

Wow, underside of the car looks extremely clean. Where did you pick the car up again? I know you'd have a tough time finding anything that rust free in your neck of the woods.

Came from PA, about 5 hrs. Similar weather though, so maybe it was garage kept, I dunno. It is very clean overall. Re bled the calipers yesterday & installed the pedal covers

after driving my wife's C30 for a few days, I don't think I will be buying another P80 for a long time

Indeed. It is a nimble car. The significant weight reduction makes it fun even with stock(ish) power levels. It feels pretty darn good with the Elevate 15psi tune. Looking forward to the K16, though.

You should do the WALK mod & a stiffer rear bar - those really make the handling much more fun in maneuvering.

Adding a Parrot MKi9100 for handsfree phone (annoying that it doesn't come with this - even the 2012 Fiat500 has handsfree phone) - gonna put the OLED here

Note: Had to add a 10mm spacer sleeve to the cable adjuster inside - as it was, the adjuster was completely backed out & the eBrake had to be pulled as high as it could go to get any real effect. With the sleeve, the lever position is back to stock, and adjuster barrel is about halfway

Looks killer man. Seeing this makes me wish I went this direction rather than the XC90 mainly because I'm bored, but the extra room and V8 are nice.

And yeah, makes sense why its so rust free coming from PA. The weather may be similar but they don't put a drop of salt on the roads.

Thanks. Didn't know that about PA. Makes sense, though - on how clean the car is.

Started work on cleaning & mild porting of a lower intake manifold. Since the Elevate has larger ports, figured I might as well take advantage....

Learn new shit all the time - I didn't know the RNC breather system included venting the head into and out the manifold (square ports & holes directly above).... Cool stuff
