MOT & TAX for the CSL
MOT for the M5

New Brakes for the CSL

AP 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears

and an unexpected set of new tyres on friday. Didnt think the drift day @ Oulton Park was going to do this to them! that was only at half twelve as well! took it a bit easier in the afternoon as didnt fancy going back for another set of tyres on the same day!

Get some Nankangs fitted to the car

Those tyres have took some serious punishment and I demand pics

Closer to 3500 I'd have thought.

Let me know what you think of the brakes, I'm contemplating a brake upgrade for the e39 m5 and AP Racing were on my radar...

i had AP's on the front of my E39 M5, although i bought the car with them on so couldnt compare to stock. no fade around the Nuburgring though, even with 3 passengers!

AP's were on a special but still over £2k for the set. that was with over £600 off, so would have been almost £3k normal price.

havent got any more pics of the day as forgot to bring my camera ( as well as my drift box!) so only got the pics of the tyres with my iphone.

there was a mitsubishi L200 there drifting! the surface is very slippery, the wheels spin up pulling away gently in second!

Noble and M5 up for sale. CSL is the one car compromise. so in theory will be down to one car for the first time in a few years!

cant really justify the 2 cars given my current circumstances i.e. living in london and economy buggered.

lordrobs · 5 Jul 2008 at 15:11

Yeah I'd say those tyres were borderline, you probably made the right decision in changing them

Don't think he got one in the end.

Anyways I told you about those tyres

Lets see if we can get the E60 to 200mph at the end of the month!

TomO · 7 Jul 2008 at 09:38

took myself off the waiting list as there was very little chance of me getting one.

there was intially only one per dealer and i was fourth on the list.

Jonny69 · 7 Jul 2008 at 10:02

Nice tyres mate. Qudos for killing them

Dangerous · 7 Jul 2008 at 10:05

Make sure you get a spare set for Brunters

Expensive week!
