Not there any chance towards the end of May are you? I'm planning a trip over there during that week.

Which week? I might be. Depends on work at the moment really. I will be there sometime in April for definite, either Easter weekend or the 24-28th...

Great vid mate!

Did I hear your speed alarm going off through the course? If so, what was it set at?

Cheers, Al

150km last time?

sixspeed · Post by **sixspeed** » Wed Feb 11, 2009 10:01 am

Speed alarm is set at 110mph (approx 180kph).... that's what the text at the start says, but it's a bit hard to read.

the same trip with a BMW 330ci.

(Front AP Racing brakes, Bilstein coilovers + sway bars + harder bushings + bigger front tyres (255/35 Michelin PS2 all round) and -2° camber front and rear. Interior partially stripped out and 2 bucket seats. Engine is stock.)

sixspeed, congrats, you have the best looking Z4 I have seen so far... Do you have any copyrights on the looks since I am planning on being a copy cat here...

Managed to have a good look at the lap board on Top Gear and pause it with sky plus, was well worth it as according to the Z4M lap time it was faster than the M5!! Result I'd say considering the big difference between the two cars.

Sephanite,

Tyres were Michelin PS2s (not Cups). Wheel alignment... can't remember off the top of my head, as the garage have the full details. From memory I think its:

Front Camber -2.5deg
Front Toe 3mm total out (1.5mm per side)

Rear Camber -1.75deg
Rear Toe 4mm total in (2mm per side)

It's the Toe I'm not 100% sure on.

Ride height, again, I'd have to check.

The above is frankly insane.

Love the ring, nice lap, looked neat but quick. I assume the engine is drowning ou the trye noise? I've only done the ring in a mk5 golf and on the vid you can hear tons of tyre noise, but the engine is pretty weedy/quiet....!
