Honestly, for the price you can get these cars, there are not too many track cars and DD all year around that you can get that as much fun!

C'est roulable comme daily driver 365 days a year ca? Je parle dans un setup conservateur, low boost, juste pour s'amuser a l'année? Parce que c'est vraiment pas cher....Ca tourne dans les 5000$ et si tu investis quelques dollars pour tous les bushings et maintenance ca reste tres abordable comme vehicule nah?

Je roule le mien toute l'année (Ça fait 3 ans). Stock boost. Mon frère roule le sien depuis 4 ans.
Good bang for the buck.
Par contre à $5000 je ne sais pas en quel état ils sont. A voir.

Been lapping for 2 years with stainless brake lines, Motul RBF 600 and Hawk HP+, no problems what's so ever!
Pretty impressed with the brake fluid.If you want a little cheaper than Motul, there is PBR BF-600, pretty much the same specs ad Motul's, but less expensive.

Thanks for the tip! From what I've noticed in previous cars, I like to brake deep into corners and tend to generate a lot of heat. HP+ wouldn't hold at all on my M3. Anyways, I'll try the first session with a good fluid, stainless lines, and a cabo pad.
Also, I've been looking into wheels recently. Trying to find something that'll fit a 245/45/16 tires nice and square. Found these. Just looking into the weights and pricing. Nice stepped lip, 16x8 so perfect width, and a nice 0 offset which will bring them out nice and flush with the over fenders I plan on picking up.

Still open to wheel suggestions.

yeah it's hard to tell since in my particular case since I never used stock calipers on the track. Got the 300zx 4 pots caliper upgrade, in such a lightweight car, with HP+, it stops on a dime! hehe

Good thread !
Are you doing a roll bar of just gutted ?
THose cars look pretty fast with AWD and light weight, the way cars should be !
Why do you run softer springs in the rear on a heavily front biased car ?(assuming same motion ratios)

Seriously! in 16x8, they are 14.9lbs...
those rota's you posted earlier are 19.3lbs each
Awesome project, can't wait to see it with wide fenders!

I'm seeing 17.5lbs everywhere for the rota grids in 16x8... Gonna keep doing research. I can deal with 17.5 but 19.3 is a bit much lol

this is where I got it from... could be wrong though.
http://www.gowheelsdirect.com/ROTA-GRID-V-16x8-41x00-20-003-p/rota-grid-v-168-4100-20-003.htm
It says 18 lbs here.
Maybe all wheels are different hahaha That would seriously be awkward
I guess there are some differences depending on the offsets ? I'm far from being a professionnal in wheels
offtopic, spotted your m3 on the 30 this summer. It was nice..

Lol. Thanks
. As for the weights, they should be the same...offset wouldn't change weights, only dimensions (ie if it was an 8 inch wheel, 7 inch wheel, or a 17 inch wheel or 16 inch wheel etc). I'm gonna try to find someone with a set and have them weighed

for the price difference between RPF1's and Rota's he can pay maintenance on his car for a full season

Another suggestion if you can't find Rota's in Quebec... XXR wheels...
You can get the 527's in 16x8.25 + 0, and weight 7.5kg

So I check out tires fitment and realized thatI made a mistake on my wheel fitment calculations. I will need a 9 inch wheel to properly fit a 245/45/16 with the fitment I'm looking for. Should provide a square look with a not noticeable stretch. So now I'm on the hunt for the following specs:
-16x9
-0 to 10 offset (0 ideal)
- 67mm hub bore
-4x114.3
-MAX 1000$
For now, these are looking like my best option:

Plan to buy them in hyper silver with machined lip, run them one season like that, and have them powder-coated in 2015.

^^ haters will say they are CCW replica's or copies, IMO I don't care and you doesn't seem to care too
No fucks given lol. Buying them because they suit the needs of the build, not because I plan to pretend to be a fake baller with my CCW reps lol

I'm not too sure about the 531's... its a hard wheel to pull off if you're not laying frame or running a big size with stretched tires
