Tires wheels and brakes coming soon

[MyFirstZ]

Been slightly busy with the new apartment and work so I haven't really had an opportunity to update.

So after talking to Rob I settled on some new brakes. Doing some CTS V II 6 piston brembos up front and right now nothing in the rear till I figure out what will work with the Moser 12.

So to fit them I needed to up to some 18's and what better wheels to get then some weld wheels RTS. Ordered new and received them in a months time. Black finish with polished lip.

Wrapping the wheels with Toyo R888s which are on back order until April. (On wait list) 275/35R18 front 315/30R18 rear.

Ordered a new on car adjustable panhard to help center the rear. Waiting for BMR to release there watts link to finish up the suspension.

Wheels should look great. Can't wait to see them mounted.

[MyFirstZ]

You and me both!

[BonzoHansen]

I like those wheels.

R888s? Wow, what kind of racing you doing? Are you going to have street tires/wheels too?

[MyFirstZ]

I have a few friends running the same tire on the street and they are absolutely amazing both cars making more power.

Right now the car is a weekend cruiser but hoping to get to some tracks this year to have some fun and test her out

[V]

if you still need those spindles, Ill have them out by the end of the weekend.

[qwikz28]

Whoa! Looks awesome!

[MyFirstZ]

Sounds good Paul. Think I'm going to have Mike pick them up for me or I can grab them when I get back from vacation

[NJ Torque]

Gonna be real sexy when done!

[IROCZman15]

I love those weld wheels. good pick.

[MyFirstZ]

[Blackbirdws6]

More.....MORE!

[MyFirstZ]

Haha soon very soon. Picking up the spindles from Paul tomorrow to drill out and test fit everything without the car

[NastyEllEssWon]

damn thats some nice gear you got there and im not sure why but I love looking at brand new unmounted tires :D

[redsoxsstink]

ermmmmm whats with the turbo(s) on the bench? always loved the way the toyos look

[V]

ermmmmm whats with the turbo(s) on the bench?

I'm guessing the pic was taken at his work, so BMW ones, either replacements or rebuilds for a customers car.
IF they are for his car though.. more details please.

[MyFirstZ]

Hahaha they are off of a 750 that is getting timing chains and turboshttp://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f31/myfirstcamaro/IMG_20150319_132854_zpsyjjyf3zv.jpg (http://s44.photobucket.com/user/myfirstcamaro/media/IMG_20150319_132854_zpsyjjyf3zv.jpg.html)

[BigAls87Z28]

Crap, when did BMW go to valley mounted turbos?

Looks awesome so far! Keep killin it.

[Mike]

Good god bmw

[ar0ck]

Gorgeous set up! Can't wait to see a finished product!

[qwikz28]

Recently. I think MB is copying that design for the GT Coupe thing. I recall reading about it months back.

[MyFirstZ]

Couldn't fit the rear wheels in the car.

Spindles are going for powder coating Monday

Rotors are going to the machine shop Monday as well to have the center hub bored out to fit the 4th gen hubs

After that should be ready for assembly.

[Jersey Mike]

These pictures are nowhere near representative of what they looked like in person. Good God!

[Mike]

Why not machine the hymns rather than the rotors? Never know when you may need to do brakes without having time to have them machined

[MyFirstZ]

I guess that can be done but might require more work. Not sure how they could take the metal off the outer diameter of the hub. With the rotor I can bring it to our local shop in Morristown and pick it up later that day

[Mike]

I had my hubs done on my 67
So I can just use ls1 rotors. The guy said it was just as easy as doing the rotor

[MyFirstZ]

Oh nice any idea how they did it ?

I can always ask the place. I would imagine I would have to remove the studs but its easy to put back in with a press

[MyFirstZ]

Thanks for the thought. Dropped them off at the machine shop today and he said yeah thats not a problem. So he is going to turn the hubs down to fit the rotor and bore the caliper bolt holes on the spindle since no one has a 9/16" drill bit

[Mike]

Good deal. I preferred this method because I want to be able to do emergency repairs at a track or on a road trip.

[MyFirstZ]

So the machine shop could not turn down the hubs since it require them to separate them and with the built In sensor and possible bearing separation we just bored the rotor.

Just enough clearance as you can see below, adapter for the reservoir came in for bleeding, hopefully next week

[Blackbirdws6]

It's going to look great.

[MyFirstZ]

I can't freaking wait. I don't have the self control to buy posts and not put them on instantly

[sweetbmxrider]

Looks like that one hub bolt wasn't a fan of your socket :lol:

[MyFirstZ]

Yeah good eye hahaha. The rest were thirteens that one had to have a 12mm 12 point hammered on or something to that effect. Maybe 12 and 11.

and now I can't unsee that when i look at the picture

[sweetbmxrider]

:lol: The setup is stunning but those damn mechanic eyes are trained to seek out the miserable issues

[qwikz28]

:drool:

[ar0ck]

Geez!

[MyFirstZ]

Sorry for the miserable quality pictures, took just under three hours with installation of the panhard and aligning the car as well. Very little hammering required to fit the 11" wheels and wasnt even required but for piece of mind.

Brakes are still bedding in but they are already biting harder, never felt tires like this, unbelievable traction.

i will get some better shots after it is washed and doesnt have dust frmo november

[sweetbmxrider]

Those are fawking huge!

[BonzoHansen]

nice

[198esp1]

what do you plan on doing with the car track days /autocross if so that thing is going to push like a dump truck with that tire combo, if thats not what your going to do than disregard , my buddy out in cali had the first set of those rims for testing they are sweet

[IROCZman15]

man that is a nice setup! love it

why do you say that, the staggered tire sizes?

[qwikz28]

why do you say that, the staggered tire sizes?

I'd imagine so. I got understeer at the limit on my staggered size tires, but I imagine those R compounds will be sticky enough that it doesn't matter 99% of the time.

Nonetheless, that look sweet! I can't wait to see that thing in person.

[Jersey Mike]

This thing won't see a road course. It's a meticulously maintained weekend warrior that gets taken to car shows, driven hard the way back, cleaned, then rinse and repeat.

Anthony: I'm ready for my first ride of the season, by the way.

[Blackbirdws6]

Perfect. How do you like the tires?

[MyFirstZ]

I agree. I'm obsessed with my car all over again. The tires are fantastic, for my power level lol trying to stay away from doing anything while they are cold but so far warm they are by far the best thing I have ever had on this car. Way better then the nt05s I had

[ar0ck]

I dunno, in a few weeks I'll have some free time, and I have a brand new camera with zero shutter exposures... Just saying'

[sweetbmxrider]

Came out great!

[maroman88]

holy crap thats perfect

[greenformula92]

Wow that looks absolutely amazing. Good work man

[MyFirstZ]

Thanks for love guys. I can't get enough of it !

[NJ Torque]

Awesome! Thats fantastic!
