Great write up and vid. Thanks!

Nice driving Alex :smt055

If you're being lumped into the race car class, does that mean you have the option now of running slicks ?

Nice video Alex. It looks like a very nice track.

Thanks guys.

Mike > the race cars were also running semi-slicks, slicks were not allowed. In theory if I had less weight and the ARBs I could possibly be in place #3 or #2. The optimal lap had a 2 sec difference which shows the problem of losing time in different parts of the track on each lap.
Oh well excuses excuses

Try the DZ03Gs - they're reputedly better even than the Cups ?

Only thing I can think of dynamically.

The passenger seat takes less than 3 mins to remove, so is an easy 10-12kg out of the car.

So, would you change the BBS RS-GT wheels for OEM CSL wheels ?

Ideas ?

[Loaded_csl]

I was never a fan of the BBS RS-GT. I still have a brand new (in the box) BBS CH Black Edition in 19'' but i'm considering to buy the new F1 in satin black.

It is a stunning piece of art.

Of course OEM will always be classic and good looking!

BTW, CH-R looks also a good choice.

[Mike RT4]

I prefer the OE wheels to either the CH's or RS's. The LMs do it for me, followed by the E88s (has to be with gold centres though ).

[Loaded_csl]

In a way i agree with you. The F1 i'm going to use them only in track days. About the E88s...they're going to be installed on my upcoming 2016 Cayman GT4!

:-D:-D

I am planning to buy a set of new OEM CSL wheels next year, fit some cup 2s.
Then do a direct comparison with the Original cups.
Then maybe I will sell the RS-GTs.
The RS-GT is a good wheel, I like it. But most times I prefer the OEM CSL wheels.

Unfortunately I cannot fit BBS E88s :banghead:

I know in Greece a couple of OEM brand new sets. Do you want me to ask for a price?

About E88s ii don't think that you have to change the uprights..

Thanks but I will buy them from my brother.

E88s = keine Schweizer Strassenzulassung...

No problem. I didn't know that it is illegal in Switzerland. I think that i've seen a Swiss regsterd M3 E46 with E88s. It was looking street legal with full interior...

That sucks..

Last sunday I participated to the last round of the Time Attack Italian series in Monza.

Mixed feelings as I got very little track time and a lot of people driving very weird in my opinion.
I managed to drop my laptime by a second and I did a 2:14.3 but I know I could go even faster.
The H&R antiroll bars certainly helped a lot and the Pagid RS29 pads ! (Thanks Martin !!!)
I could run my dampers softer (Monza has bumps) and had very little body roll due to the ARBs. The car works great at the moment and I loved it.
