Genetically Superior!

As you're probably aware, most 'M' models tend to have pretty weak brakes as standard. I didn't find them too bad, but a single pot caliper is never going to last for sustained periods on track. So i've fitted front and rear APs using the same calipers as used on my NSX. To save a bit of cost the rear discs use the OEM discs (which are actually good and CSL specific).

Anyway, here are some photos of the bad boys, i didn't opt for ASW red!

Awesome car and now with awesome brakes! Love these cars.

 

[Ian_182]

Is this ollies old car.Only joking

Great looking breaks and look much better in non asw red...lol

 

[ForceIndia]

Loving the cereal. How does it compare to the NSX?

 

[cat171]

Good stuff Rob, AP's original colours look loads better than asw red !

 

[Turkish]

Gayer, should have spoken to me about some big red german 6 pots I could have hooked you up!

 

[Englebert]

I'm looking for an Audi R8 wheel coffee table if you have one instead?

I can't really remember how the NSX was standard, except that the NSX had better steering. CSL is obviously faster but the NSX sounds just as good, but a little more subdued in volume! Handling is hard to compare, probably just as good but CSL is stiffer, so quicker.

Rob where did u get your money from? i always thought u were a tramp!

 

[Englebert]

Live with my mum, work hard, claim 'expenses'!

 

[Englebert]

BTW, can someone point me to a place to buy those silvery bulbs for the indicators as i want it looking like this...

Halfords sell Silvatec ones.

Not as bright as Phillips, but are completely silver.

I used to have these, but they're so dull in bright sunlight, went for philips from then on.

 

[SOHROB]

awesome, my brother has just ordered a set of these for his m3. Did you opt for the narrow or wider caliper???

 

[Englebert]

I'm not sure... i know there were two versions, one was for 'aftermarket' wheels. The CSL has a smaller offset but not sure it can accomdate the wider ones.

 

[ForceIndia]

Great looking car, looks better than the new one IMO

 

[SOHROB]

cool, we are after a set of "genuine" csl wheels but they aint cheap!!! Also looked into fitting the CSL induction but at £3k its a bit steep so gruppe m it is.

 

[Ali]

SO glad you went for a decent colour on the calipers...First thing i thought of when opening this was...i hope there not red.

 

[Englebert]

The only thing red round here is your ass cheeks after a good pounding...

CSL wheels are £1k, not bad for 19" lightweight jobbies!

No point getting all the CSL bits... add up all the cost, then the fact you don't have a real CSL and you may as well just get a CSL in the first place!

Gruppe M will be good enough, Vorsteiner CSL carbon boot and diffuser will smarten it up.

 

[SOHROB]

yeh i agree,if it could have been done reasonably cheap then yeh. £1k for wheels???? from where, they all seem to be around £1500 upwards for used ones.

Plus my brother hated SMG so had to have a manual

 

[Englebert]

£1500 used... lol. Ring around the dealers, they are barely over £1k. Otherwise:
