Messed around with the Mumbury brake ducts, was never happy at how far away that sat from the OEM disc and the AP's are even further out.
Kit came with spacers only for the top fixing and bolted straight to the hub at the bottom and used button head bolts, got hold of some more alloy rod and some long counter sunk bolts to move things closer. Ended up being around 24mm closer in the end Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr And chopped them back a little to let more heat excape Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Still having a little trouble routing the 2" ducting to it, too many moving parts to get a clean route so it ends up chewing up the piping. Gold in the bay again, going to get a charge pipe from Hack Engineering as apparently these are a weak spot... will be gold wrapping that too. Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Lastly got hold of my dads roof bars off his F34 that were gathering dust in the shed Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Part numbers didn't match between saloon and coupe models but thought would give them a go, turns out the front rails are a touch too wide... nothing a little drill and grinder won't fix. |

Some overdue updates again
Snetterton 300 back in March, had kind of fell out of love with Snetterton for no piacular reason, didn't even do any sessions there in 2021 but this last day converted me, had a blast! Managed a 2:08 which matches the best in my old M3 set on 245 BTCC slicks KRF_1473 by Track Obsession, on Flickr KRF_4032 by Track Obsession, on Flickr KRF_2962 by Track Obsession, on Flickr KRF_2532 by Track Obsession, on Flickr |

Ever since getting this car I'd say would never cage it... now look
But I knew if I did it would only be a bolt in half cage, after all I'm not going racing. An what better to go for than a Pinnacle Motorsport T45 tig welded cage, that all fixings are internal and completely reversible. Also believe saved circa 8kg with the cage compared to rear seats, belts and latches ect. Supplied and fitted by Swift Performance Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Will be audio carpeting the rear when free time allows Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Pinnacle design of the cross gussets gives an ideal spot for a camera mount, milled out the centre grove on a Gopro pad and added some hole to cable tie it down too Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Lightweight and tidy, just how I like it Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr View from the camera... annoying to not see the backs of the kevlar Recaro anymore but that's no biggy Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Lastly chucked in some BMW wheel badges to the Apex, have never ran these with centre caps before but this is a vibe... will of course remove them for track as they will only pop out and disappear. Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Next track day is not till Players Classic at Goodwood on June 18th, although may try squeeze a Donnington day in May if funds allow. |

You made me choose the M4 2way now. Will order tomorrow, but prob without the s55 brace. How big is the difference for you stepping up from 9,5/10,5 to 10/11? Thinking of running a Trofeo square with either 9,5 or 10. |

Spent the Bank Holiday Monday doing a job that I'd been meaning to do for a while.
Putting a finer grill behind the factory grills to stop stone strikes. Know this is a common problem as it happened to my mate on his first track day, so think I've been on borrowed time. Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Managed to hide pretty much all of the cable tie fixing. Few people have said keep an eye on temps, luckily have my AK motion gauge/screen that has all live temps and records peak. At Donington this Monday so we'll see. |

I need to follow in your footsteps with the mesh—I have collected my fair share of rubber balls/debris. In one instance, something even hit the side hexagon plastics hard enough to break one.
Question for ya on swapping from Protrack to Apex—was this for aesthetics reasons or something else? I've wanted a set but we can't get them [affordably] in the US. They seem to be excellent for the price and have a great touring car look. |

Nothing against the Protracks, very good wheel for the money, they have become the go-to wheel over here. |

I settled for 10" w 265 trofeos. How did the car handle for you w a square setup? Because for me the regular staggered is giving me too much understeer on Nordschleife.

After my 3 year journey with the M2 I got bored.
Wanted to get back to a more analog thrill and something I wouldn't burn through a set of tyres in two track days, so I put the M2 back to stock and moved it on It's replacement is a 1995 BMW E36 "M3" S50B30 Untitled by M2 ClubSport, on Flickr Will start another thread for the build. |
