[V8] Fw: UFO Brake Conversion

[Buchholz, Steven]

... that is too bad ... shoot, since you've got the details all worked out
you should leave it on the page!  I was thinking about responding as others
have on the G-60 conversion and point out other preferable alternatives but
didn't see the AudiConnection product offered ...

... on the BIRA thing, there was a place called QRS that was trying to
package BIRA kits into turn-key solutions ... but I checked the website,
which says that they've retired and moved on to other things ... checking
the BIRA site, it appears that they never did a direct UFO conversion ... 

... I *did* see the write-up on the 5-speed conversion there ... thanks for
documenting it in that way!  It was also a good opportunity to see what the
person on the other end of the phone/computer actually looks like!  :-)

... two separate sets of UFOs ... ne'er a whit of "warping" from either ...
I did have to replace the rotors on #344, but that was because they had worn
down to minimum thickness ... I've driven V8s with the factory conversion
too and to my foot there is a definite reduction in brake pedal
feel/effectiveness over the UFO ... granted, the pads may have contributed
to the difference ...
