I need to put the data of the H&R anti roll bars and will be doing a service soon, will keep you updated.
I did some modifications on my M5 .

Next year I may buy a 2nd set of wheels for the CSL.
Other upgrades ? Don't see something missing.

No update in a very long time.

Not much changed other than that I am still driving and enjoying the CSL.
I installed Michelin Cup 2 tyres and recently I did the Inspection 2 service, including adjusting the valve clearance on my own.
I had only 5 valves needing slight adjustment.

Here's a photo from last weekend.



And today I did another leak down test and all cylinders checked out fine



I am in the process of installing my SPAL electric fan. It has been sitting for 2 years but the following video of engine masters (I have a Motortrend on demand subscription and watch various series) convinced me to get this 10HP of parasitic loss.
You can expect as always a comparison with data

It has been a while since I posted something.

I continue reducing the weight of the car without compromising the comfort and practicality it has.

This JMT lithium battery was on offer from 500 EUR to 250 EUR and I bought one !
I had to buy the battery posts separately. They are XS power (XS power 586 Tall Brass Post Adaptors M6).
The battery is very light - 2091 g
It works great and it will not discharge when the car is not being driven for 5 weeks.




I then started making my own battery holder as this battery is very small compared to the OEM
Also, there were some weight savings as the OEM battery holder is very heavy.

1310 g


I made the new holder from aluminium.

Only 237 g


In the car - yes I put lighter nuts



In the car with the lithium battery




Results:

OEM Battery + OEM holder = 15.6 kg + 1.3 kg = 16.9 kg
JMT Lithium Battery + Alexk holder = 2.1 kg + 0.2 kg = 2.3 kg
Weight savings = 14.6 kg

Not bad for 250 EUR

Wow, that is a significant saving .

Does the Lithium battery need a special trickle charger ?
