You had me at Sinn and Smith. I'm a former Sinner and a current Smith owner (watches, not rally timers).

Looking forward to following your project, too.

I'm only doing this for me, but it's always a perk to cross paths and meet another PLU (people like you).

Cheers!
Thank you for the thanks, so to speak!

My goals are much more modest but yours definitely gives a world of inspiration. Brakes first: the M Performance kit from my old E90, along with the wonderful-for-a-daily Koni Special Actives and Eibach Pro springs. Oh, and the interior I've alluded to as well. After that, maintain and improve - where viable - is the plan.

As always, your most recent post was an interesting read. Can't wait to see how you get on with the timing fab work!

Great thread!

Among many other things, I love your wheel spec/tire size (so I have copied it for my E91)

I like this thread.

Great work tetsuo111, nice machine you have built. The weight reduction is great and a lot of those parts are not inexpensive.

Any further plans?

I'm a fan of S04 PP for summer tires because they grip similarly to Michelin PSS, while remaining quieter and more civil for street duty. The S04s will never see track time, so no worries over heat management, which I found to be the weak point with PSS on track. I have a set of RE-71Rs which are better suited for track conditions. The new shoes fit and feel terrific.

2) TPMS -> FTM: With new wheels, it would be necessary to buy another set of TPMS sensors. The benefit of this conversion is side-stepping the need to buy 4 expensive TPMS sensors. Research showed that North America is the sole market using TPMS, because DOT mandates not only that tire pressure needs to be monitored, but also how the pressure is monitored - directly using TPMS sensors. The rest of the world bypasses the clunky TPMS system with FTM. FTM uses DSC to monitor the tire rotation. If one corner differs significantly, then FTM assumes low pressure. I tested FTM by lowering the pressure at one corner to confirm that yes, in fact, FTM functions fine.

3) StopTech brakes. Installed front and rear ST60 / ST40 brakes. Sadly found one of the bleed screws on the pax rear caliper was stripped. I had to remove the rear ST40s and go back to the stock rear brakes. The caliper is with the machinist now. Fingers crossed the caliper body can be tapped and repaired.
What color are those wheels??
