Appreciate the post! I'm stuck between getting BE Bearings or VAC.

nholmes · 03-14-2016, 03:16 PM

I spoke with the Bert over at BE a lot about bearings. I didn't have time to sit and read the 1000s of threads here on the topic, so I just went to a source that I could trust.

We'll see if the car holds up to track abuse now. I'll be sending the oil in for further analysis as I go.

Amirsm3 · 03-14-2016, 03:35 PM

Wtf dipstick. 10/10 would do that mod.

Also, bought some center caps and adapters for my TESL's lulz. Coilovers, engine/DCT mounts, Stoptech BBK and some exhaust reworking tomorrow. Such excite.

e93 jonesy · 03-14-2016, 06:03 PM

After a week without the ride I finally got her back today...

2 throttle body actuators & 2 hall sensors replaced.

Car sounds and drives like new again!

Raek · 03-14-2016, 07:38 PM

Got news that my wheels are in

Picking up tomorrow, coating with some C Quartz, mounting tires and should be good to go by next week!

Raek · 03-15-2016, 06:08 PM

Update: Picked my wheels up

Cat approved.

UPSROD · 03-15-2016, 06:22 PM

Those wheels are a pussy magnet!

ksa · 03-15-2016, 06:47 PM

Got the rubber removed from my ZCP rims and prepping them to send in for powder coating...

Side question; I was told by my tire guy the small ///M sticker on the ZCP rim will most likely either be melted or removed by the powder coating shop and I will have to get new ones once the rims is powder coated. Does anyone know form where?

Thanks

monterey · 03-15-2016, 06:51 PM

Changed oil for 1st time today.

OEM ones are very pricey. Like $12/sticker I ordered some reps on eBay to try out on my track wheels.

dbworld4k · 03-15-2016, 07:00 PM

Finally hit the 15k mile mark today, lol.

Lunker325 · 03-15-2016, 07:02 PM

Loaded my stage 1 BPM tune. Didn't drive it enough to feel a big difference yet but it does feel better so far.

Thanks. They fit the e92 ZCP wheels? Just cause the car isn't listed in the description. And are the simple stickers that come with glue in the back?

Yeah I ordered these for mine and they fit my e92 ZCP wheels.

WaylonM3 · 03-15-2016, 10:59 PM

New wheels (Enkei RPF-1's), Bimmerworld solid trans/motor mounts and BW solid race shifter

What are the specs on the rpf1s? Ran a set on my old S2000, very light wheels for being cast.

Helmsman · 03-16-2016, 09:20 AM

Car clean, no time to take a ride. Instead ordered another (must have..

) ///M gadget...

Is it a phone case? Where'd you get it from?

Yes it is, for my Samsung S5. Got it from Ebay. Not proper carbon (don't think any of them are), but still "BMW AG approved" and seems quite nice quality. Time will tell...

Not much for adding ///M decals on the car but like the subtle attributes. Been looking for a M replacement for the little round piece on the key but haven't found one. Anyone?

Raek · 03-16-2016, 04:04 PM

Mounted my wheels to make sure the brake clearance is ok. Rotiform engineered the wheels around the brake specs, but I still had that nervous feeling.

Fitment is TIGHT. But, everything spins freely

Rears are fine, as I knew they would be for sure:
