Getting some braking vibration at 80-100mph under braking, steering wheel wobbles, was not there a week ago.
Checked the front hats, one side has a crack around bolt, either age or over-tighten when new outers fitted, guessing that is cause, can't be safe anyway.
Just had to order a pair of new bells from Alcon, best part of £600, thats the issue with Alcon brakes, they might be ace, but damn the pricing is a bit of joke.

To be honest if I was doing it again I’d go AP’s as Alcon disc are close to £4000 for a full set just for disc if you include hats and bobbins. APs cost far less in comparison.
Hi there
Well its being six years and I've decided to sell, simply because I hardly use the car any more, so gave it a good cleaning this weekend and myself and the Mrs grabbed lunch in it, a real shame as the car is such a blast, but here is a load of pictures of how the car stands now, this car is such an incredible drive, certainly better than the CSL I owned some years ago but it should be as most the mods done are what CSL owners would, but the car looks immaculate, OK it is by no means what you would call a showroom condition original car, because it is not being nearly 18 years old and covered nearly 115,000 miles, but its a damn clean solid car with very premium tasteful mods done to it that make it an extremely capable road and track car.
I am happy for any prospective buy to get 12 months MOT put on the car as well:

Put it up at £16,500ono, anything around 15k I shall be happy with, to some that may seem cheap, to others a bit expensive but it has had huge money put into it and well it needs nothing doing to it mechanically, of course it could be improved further and tidied up further, but as I found out it is never ending with this car.
Thanks its only advertised on M3cutters and M3 FB groups at present, seeing if it moves there before I put it on PH or Autotrader and have to deal with all the usual rift raft.....
If it was manual would be 20k because as always manuals are worth more because more people prefer a track car to be a manual and a lot of people think SMG is some kind of nightmare, I actually prefer SMG to manual but that is just me.
Took the car into work today:
Going to sell that too, the Clio is great but for me being FWD half a day is enough, because it is simply too easy and there is less options so to speak in regards to handling and throwing it around. RWD to me is more fun and interesting on track.
The plan is to just keep the Ferrari and get a second much newer car, probably an Abarth 595 Comp or a Scirroco R so quite capable but much more a road car than a track car, if and when I do a track day I simply want to take the Ferrari.
Going to advertise around 6.5k, simply because mechanically it is perfect having being fully restored within last 2000 miles, the only downside is there is some scratches on the paint some of which though have polished out quite well so not so noticeable ideally need paint to make perfect, hence pricing it about a thousand below a couple of others that are available or sold with similar miles/owners, if paint was perfect I feel 8k all day long with how rare they are becoming. I am sure for anyone wanting to store it that in 5 years time it will be well into and beyond 10k in value.
Well I am in no rush, 58k miles, 1 previous owner, not even advertised it anywhere yet anyway.
Like I say, no rush, cheapest similar one mileage wise is 4k, so yeah I am a bit over, but at same time no particular rush or need to move it swiftly.
De-tuned, better lifespan, longer service intervals.
Yep, something I can consider when I decide to advertise it.
You have to drive both, manuals command a strong premium now.
I like SMG one of few that does, easily flashed to the CSL firmware which improves it a lot and I had no real issues with it, clutch went just like it can go in a manual, replacement same procedure apart from using software to prime the SMG pumps etc and pump/bleed the system.
Yeah he sold it a week or two back, guy from Ireland came for it and paid the 17k asking. Crazy as when he thought about selling it at start of this he offered it me for 12.5k and I was tempted as thought give it a few months and 15-18k be possible and well he sold it no problem he could have probably got more for it.
