thinking of a CSL as a replacement for a 993 rs?

[silver7]

As above, currently have as 911 993 rs and thinking of changing to a CSL and freeing up some cash. Have any owners done something similar? Any feedback appreciated. I am aware that I need to add AP's and potentially suspension, is there anything else? It will be 85% track use.

Thanks in advance

Start with APs or Alcons and upgrade the suspension if the std stuff isn't good enough for you. If it is 85% track, just get cups (not cup+) for your alloys. A set of Scroth 4 point harnesses might be useful too? It is an excellent trackday tool, although so is the 993RS. You'll enjoy it as much!

Quick question, are there any issues with mileage? I noticed one at around £20k with 70k miles, which if I am replacing the suspension and brakes only leaves the engine and box etc

and is as good as it was at 20,000 miles If not better :thumbs:

If you've got the full history of a potential 70k car, and it has never gone bang, then I'd say it's absolutely ripe for a serious track caning.

should just get better and better. good luck with choosing one !

No issue with mileage..they are BMW's after all....because the car is becoming an icon some owners want low mileage for resale. But a high mileage car would have been used everyday and I would say just if not more reliable......buy it, drive it I say.

i co-own with Hazy a m3 e36 3.0 track car. done over 100'000 miles and the engine is still pushing out the same bhp as it did when new. amazing car!

mileage for these is not an issue.

Get it tracked - whether planning to sell or not - just as BMW intended! :whistle: It's where you truly realise the CSL's full potential beyond just looking good and having that awesome noise! :thumbs:
