The Calipers are AP racing cp6160 and cp6078. Calipers worth enough for lmp1 Le Mans cars!

Sub'd.

Moton 4-way? AP Racing calipers? Full cage?

Giddy up!

Leglessracing · 10-28-2015, 08:22 AM

Woohoo, the car is straight, air jack tubes are in and the cage is in! Now the fun begins. Colour choices and final confirmation on parts to go in!

ArthurL · 10-28-2015, 10:29 AM

Wow.. This is awesome.

What color are you going with?

Leglessracing · 10-28-2015, 05:18 PM

I'm looking at the possibility of going matte black with a gloss black interior and red roll cage and accents

Meh.. I like matte black but since the car is going to be re-painted, why not a unique color? It's going to be a track car anyway!

As for an individual colour, making up a one off colour means a large cost. In future repairs, repaint when future carbon upgrades go on, making up one specific colour to the car just to name a few. I really like red and black so I was looking to go like Tom Blomqvist in the DTM but black.

Tomislav · 10-28-2015, 11:52 PM

Why wouldn't you make new seat mounts that tie in to the rollcage?

The seat mounts and all non needed tabs will be getting removed in the next week or so before the interior gets painted They will be removed and new seat runners will be going in

Here we go for a Christmas Eve update. The front end is starting to come together and looking rather trick!

Beautiful! I'll be using these suspension improvements as a guide for my own track car.

I can't praise Bimmerworld for their quality enough! It's awesome, you won't be disappointed!

Impressive car build.
I have same caliper (6078),so its interesting to discuss about hat design,adapters and caliper studs..I have 3d scan,cad model etc.It was hard to make..Please contact to my personal box if you like this idea.
ps-just finished almost same roll cage and i had 1 question : to weld front strut mount with triangulation or not.
Is it a final decision?

Are you not going to run carbon discs? My Calipers are going to run in the same places so we are running aluminium brackets.
Yes my cage will be staying as is and getting painted soon so that is our final decision. We are keeping it to FIA specs

spaggiari · 12-26-2015, 08:10 AM

I have a plan to use both : carbon and iron rotors.Have ti bobbins and duct set(with its mould).

spaggiari · 12-26-2015, 08:13 AM

I made some hat drawings. In aluminum and ti alloy.Interesting to compare even visually.

Leglessracing · 12-26-2015, 09:11 AM

Are you running the 6078 all around? I'm only running them on the rears to use the smaller disc size (355mm) and then use the 6160 Calipers on the front running 380mm discs

I have 4x same calipers,but have a plan(and 380rotors too)to install it same way as you want. Also have brembo pair for 380rotors.
So yes: 380+355.
Its important to make stiff hat and adapter+correct titanium bobbins. Already finished with bobbins.Now i have hat drawing and adapter. I'd like to make 2 different sets: for iron it is aluminum,titanium alloy for carbon setup.
What set you have a plan to run with ? (I mean brake lines,cylinder etc).Do you want to make complete air duct system ?

Ok, you do know that these Calipers will only take up to 355mm? That's why I'm running the Ap racing cp6160 on the front. We will be running custom rotors and brackets. All 1 material to keep the same rigidity no matter which compound we use. There will be a abs system with Ap racing cylinders, good ridge lines, bias adjuster etc. We also have carbon air ducts for front and rear
