Pirelli Trofeo R Tyres - Arrive!

So excited to test the new Pirelli Trofeo R Tyres on the Z4M. These are the control Tyres for Time Attack and will give us a load more grip..

They are being fit to our new Matt Black Team Dynamics race wheels today!

AP Racing Brake Test Oulton Park

Wow what a difference, the new 6 pot brakes were awesome, proper stopping power plus a great feel. Very happy..

Only issue was the road tyres melted!

I also drove my friends BMW 330 CI race car:

 

AP Racing Brakes Arrive!

Finally the AP Racing Z4M 6 Pot Brakes arrived yesterday from Questmead Ltd. (thanks Alan).

I had time to fit the fronts today..

Spot the difference:

Oulton Park Z4M Shake Down..

We took the Z4M to Oulton Park track for a shake down, unfortunately the AP Racing Brakes didn't arrive in time so we fitted some race pads and race fluid to see if that helped for now.

The problem was after two laps the brakes got to hot and the disks started to warp. Once cool they were fine again, but not ideal.. plus the OEM suspension started go do strange things on the edge..

Looking forward to the new bits arriving..

Race Seats Fitted

After several hours of trial and error we finally managed to get both race seats fitted in the perfect position and still be able to close the doors :)

Steering Wheel Quick Relese Fitted

In order to remove the steering wheel easily and also get the spacing right we fitted a quick release system:

The wiring for the horn if you need it to pass an MOT

Custom 'MotorDrive' seats arrive!

We had a pair of seats made for the Z4M from MotorDrive Seats UK, suppliers of many professional FIA aproved race seats:

Looking Good! Plus they are custom fit to my size so they are super comfortable too!
