    Help at Spa/Ring 2010

    just thought as we have a LOAD of cars going to this we could make sure we have some spares and support identified so that not everybody has to bring the whole garage with them (ROB) and that some of the guys not used to trips can have some peace of mind

    Shimmy
    1. jack
    2. toolbox ful of bits for changing rims and pads
    3. spare AP front and rear pads
    4. spare oil
    5. jerry cans maybe
    6. performance box (if soembody whats it for the RIng!) or to borrow at Spa for a session
    7. gaffer tape and cable ties
    8. hand moisturiser (Rob again!)
    9. probabaly a spare rim with tyre.
    10. old coipacks
    11. SMG salmon relay


    Alexk
    1. Jack + tools
    2. BMW GT1 diagnostic (in case we have an engine light etc, we can fix it :thumbs
    3. Chocolate from Switzerland
    4. Performance friction race pads (front ones) for AP racing calipers
    5. 2 litres of Castrol TWS oil
    6. 1 litre of Castrol SRF brake fluid
    8. spare fuel filter

                Seems there is a considerable £££ difference between 18" rubber and 19" rubber. Genuine M3 18' can be had for peanuts and 18" R888 for around £600 as oppose to £1200 ish for 19" R888. Cups about the same in 19" CSL sizes.

                      R888 aren't meant to be that good on a CSL, so little difference between the 18 / 19 cups

                        I'm willing to experiment and find out for myself They can't be completely useless. I've experienced "Flatout's" Z4M Coupe (with 18" R888s) that beged to differ :whistle: and a m8 of mine runs a Porker 928 GT (the Manual one) Race car with a set of 18" R888, with great success.

                          nice thread Shimmy

                          Guys, let's not feck up the nice thread.
                          Mods, can you please seperate the posts with the tires etc and leave the pertinent ones here ?

                          I will have with me :
                          1. Jack + tools
                          2. BMW GT1 diagnostic (in case we have an engine light etc, we can fix it :thumbs
                          3. Chocolate from Switzerland
                          4. Performance friction race pads (front ones) for AP racing calipers (I got them on the side... so no worries)
                          5. 2 litres of Castrol TWS oil
                          6. 1 litre of Castrol SRF brake fluid
                          8. spare fuel filter

                          I am the Swiss CSL, easy to spot (also the fastest one, in theee woooorlddddd)
