    Best Brembo Matching Red Paint for Rear Caliper Upgrade

    I did the same thing, but silver. I used normal "caliper paint" as the rear ones usually run cooler than the fronts, they held up really well. :)

    Compression testing

    Thanx! Must be the one I meant, this one under the plenum? I've just cleaned it this saturday to no avail... As with ITB's which in all fairness were'nt that dirty.

    Track coilovers

    Current pics of my car in hibernation shows the quality of KW are great, my kit is several years old by now. The faff adjustment is made a lot easier by making a small lid for rear left bump adjust.

    Hiya, whats usually throwing up low comp figures on 1 cyl..? These are my current ones: 1. 12 2. 10 3. 12 4. 12 5. 12 6. 12 bar. Hmm…? If it was headgasket I suppose I’d seen lower on two cylinders?

    Slight misfire, air pump?

    Hi’ya! My M has developed a very slight misfire at cold starts, which has gotten a little worse this year. It goes away when the secondary air pump / ”smogpump” shuts down - after I’d say 30sec - then it runs perfectly. I’ve checked compression, all coils & plugs are all new. Any guess? Seems...

    Brembo Brake upgrade *Update

    Anyone else running these Brembo (Trophy R) calipers? I don't know if I'm imagining things but they seem to run hotter than std on trackdays etc, leading me to think the front bias is too much..? I do have semislicks (Nankang AR-1) now which with extra grip may induce more heat aswell? New...

    E86 spoilers?

    Hi all, what are my options for a decent fitting, not too expensive rear spoiler for my Coupe? I know about the Bmw oem (exstinct?) and Skyers larger one (expensive). What more are there I should know of?

    Rear left creaks? *sorted*

    Anybody have a good guess what's usually causing creaks coming from rear left, say when changing from reverse and turning in a garage, flat floor..? So the noise doesn't need bumps, which I guess excludes shock mounts etc.

    Brembo Brake upgrade *Update

    Hmm dont know how you mean? You mean the piston I temporarly took out? In that case it was for measurment material thickness, before sanding the outside. I ordered custom 8mm spacers to clear the OEM wheels (which I use with track AR-1 tires)

    Brembo Brake upgrade *Update

    Got mine to fit the CSL's without spacers, the OEM 18" still need 5mm spacers. Very happy! And they look so much better than the std calipers. Used the same 650deg silver paint. Anyone else having issues with the HEL brakelines provided by FreakyParts? They're too short to be fitted in the...

    Z4MC front splitters

    I've noticed a clear difference on Autobahn (maybe more regular as a Swede) above 200km/h and certainly above 250 with or without front spoiler. As std, steering becomes very "light"... No wonder looking at that huge bonnet of ours, a large low-pressure area. Also lowering made a positive...

    M radiator cover?

    Hi! One thing has annoyed me since I bought the car is the radiator plastic cover which BMW never bothered to make for the M, they just used the Si cover. Has anyone seen an M-version? (Maybe something for 'Skyer'..?) :P

    Brembo Brake upgrade *Update

    Very nice, full kit! Are you doing like me, only changing fronts? PocketGT: They’re Renault Megane RS. I’m putting mine on now, had to scrape some material off to fit the CSL-wheels, will post pics later.

    Megane 3 RS calipers

    I suspect its the size of the caliper? In my case the choice was easy, the M has the 345mm discs - so its the Megane kit. Agree on the bling bit it's the exciting part "right, what color, what badging.." :D I'm leaning towards OEM silver with OEMish black little M badge. Edit: got them today...
