Speaking of CSLs, here a shot from the Ace meet. They might be ‘common’ but they do look bloody good 8)

MrPT wrote: Mon Sep 24, 2018 12:42 pm Apex Arc-8 are a really nice 18” CSL alternative if you like that style. They are CSL price, unfortunately, but are easier to get hold of and arguably superior, from a technical perspective.

18” CSLs look really odd if you are used to seeing 19” CSLs (or reps) on a Z4, but I’m not sure that should bother anybody since we’re quite a special bunch, after all. :crazydude:
Suggest more discerning... find people refer to someone as ‘special’ when they’re inferring they have a social problem... & think that’s furthest from the truth of those here
Apologies if you (or anybody else) took offence. I can only speak for myself, of course.
No, we are definitely a special bunch :wink:

Excuse the dirt... wanted to get you a pic with the roof up... normally she’s meticulously clean!

19’s too I’m afraid
What make are your CSL resps/where can I get some?

What width are the front and rears and do arches need rolling in?

They are made by Atomic, I got them from BM Autosport in Eastbourne.

Front 19 8.5 et 38
Rear 19 9.5 et33

The fronts don’t rub at all with a 225 tyre, the rears rub the liner a tiny bit but only with a full tank, heavy load and on fast bends (255 tyre) . That was easily sorted with a heat gun just to stretch the liner out 5mm where it touched.

No rolling needed :)

Edit: I’m also 15mm lower than sport

I see nothing that’s needs an apology :? Good to see you Saturday MrPT and your cars looking good :thumbsup:
Just caught up with this gents - totally agree no apology was needed, shame the Ace meet wasn’t like the weather today
