What have you been doing today?

[phoenixcsl]

I seemed to go mental today and go on a modding spree....

On the hottest day of the year so far, skinned hands, sunburnt too!

But the results are worth it :wink:

So today I fitted the following to dear old Cecil:

1/ 12mm spacers all round.
2/ Supersprint 100 cell cats.
3/ Supersprint resonated centre
4/ Brembo GT 4 Pot Front and Rear BBK which i've had for a while, just had them fully rebuilt with new pistons and seals and repainted in Modena Yellow

Happy days :D

Next week, gonna fit my Ohlins Road and Track :drool:

[shimmy]

Superb.....




I watched the Lions, had a sleep in the sun, watch the Tennis final, had a sleep in the sun, watched F1 qualifying highlights, put up the family tent in the garden, found a dead rat under the TV............then drunk another bottle of Sancerre.

Good work there mate :thumbs: Your BREMBO BBK solutions look Ace :-D
Is this BREMBOs own, dedicated E46 M3 kit ?

Thanks dude :supz:

Yep it's a full blown Brembo GT Kit for the E46 M3, not a dodgy porsche setup, has 355mm discs on the front 345mm on the rear, nicely balanced.

Ideally i'd have gone for the 6 pot 380mm kit but these came up a while back at a good price so i'm happy :smt055

On the CSL ? :banghead: COOONT

Well I decided to continue with a cleaning frenzy I started on Friday.

Washed, dried, de-tarred and then clayed the whole car.
Emptied the interior of everything and sorted what is actually supposed to be in there.
Cleaned the interior, race glazed the seats and steering wheel.
Dressed the interior plastics.
Cleaned all the door and window rubbers then lovingly massaged some vaseline into them to keep then nice and supple :-D
Polished all the interior carbon panels
Then applied three coats of AG HD wax
Removed the wheels, cleaned de-tarred and applied two coats of poor boys wheel sealant
Dressed the tyres with Megs endurance tyre dressing, allowed to dry then applied 100% silicone spray
Last but by no means least, cleaned and dressed my mudflaps :thumbs:

SHE IS MINTY McMINT :smokin: and im fooked :smt107

Woke up at 03:20 to a Cesil alarm :(
Dozed to 05;00 to imagining someone was nicking my unlocked Cesil :mad:

Noticed my roof trims had lifted in the heat :wanker::wanker:
Back to work tomorrow :banghead:

[Trawler]

Nothing special then. How was the GP & were the roads full of tourists, push bikes, etc?

After 2 days in Italy/Dolomiten, we drove over Bolzano > Merano > Timmeljoch back to Munich. Julian was with his Cesil, and yes i did it with the MINI GP II :drool:

Not a good area, you should have given me a bell, could have parked at mine over night. :thumbs:

[sailorbaz]

Today, towed a Rig for 6 hours, had a BBQ and watched Andy Murray then slept a while... woke up and towed a rig for another 6 hours, then yip, slept again.

Next week will be very different, off here on Saturday, whooop! The beer will have alcohol in it, thats for sure.

[LeinsCSL]

[chrisburns]

[LeinsCSL]

Yeah but didn't stay too long Chris. It was pretty much the same stuff there as last year

Irish Festival of Speed next month is the one I'm looking forward to

Humm must check that one out then.

[Hankcharlie]

Hi leins,good shots! Is that your m5? That's my brothers old car. He imported that from the uk back in the day. Lovely machine. Is the eisenmann still on it?!cheers,brianSpent nearly all day yesterday driving places in the sunshine! :) Makes a nice change from using public transport

Hiya Brian, yep bought it earlier in the year with a buddy of mine, so we're splitting the costs between us. It was into the garage a while back for fresh oil, plugs, etc, but got a fairly clean bill of health overall

Saying that, it'll only be out on the roads in the summer months and not doing too much in the way of mileage. Yesterday was pretty much the first day I've taken it out for a run

Eisenmann is still on it too :smokin:

[Hankcharlie]

It's a lovely machine alright and best of luck with it. Mark Keneally had it for a bit I think also and his friend had it badged as a 520 for a while. Bit of a sleeper:-D. I love the noise it makes and it has some of the nicest seats of any BMW I've ever been in. Enjoy!!

Thanks! No badge on the back now, but will probably put the "M5" one back on. Sure it's only got two exhaust pipes, most people will think it's a fake anyway :hahaha:

Nice M5 Barge there mate :thumbs: an early 3.8 5 Speed by any chance ?
How's about a 518i badge :) just to really stick it up theirs ;)
BTW, I may have potentially bought something very similar over the weekend too :whistle:

Cheers Matt, yep 5-speed with Nurburgring pack. She still goes like the clappers when you give it a poke too, as Mr "520d up my arse" found out once the road ahead cleared! :smt039


Any, spill the beans mate, this sounds interesting...

:supz: Imagine how little Mr "520d up my arse" would have felt if you had that 518i badge on :clown:

Any, spill the beans mate, this sounds interesting...

It's an earlier "Special Order" (what ever that means) fully loaded Dimond Black 3.6 with quite interesting history + a complete crank up engine rebuild 30K miles ago with BMW Main Steeler supplied New block, pistons, duplex chain, rings, HG, New valves (all 24 of them), etc.
I'll tell you more when it arrives tomorrow :smokin:

Awesome :thumbs: Best of luck with it Matt, and don't forget a few pics!

Be interested to know what the "special order" entails

[DaveG]

Looking great Jeff. M5 looks super cool.would have loved to have bought it and was onto Bart at the time about it but funds were scarce :-)
Terenure was big let down i thought, much less cars than last year,would have thought the good weather would have brought a crowd out!

Thanks Dave, ah it needs a couple of bits doing but overall very happy with it. It just offers something different to the other cars, despite them all wearing BMW badges

I just parked up for a while, grabbed a burger there and then headed off again. The XJ220 was worth seeing though :smokin:

[mattCSLnut]

Awesome :thumbs: Best of luck with it Matt, and don't forget a few pics!
