THANX Steve. I don't know if you remember me from a few years back ( I drove a Silver Grey Porsche 928 around the Ring at the time, pic below) but you've very kindly took me out for numerous PAX laps around the Ring, firstly in your not so standard 535d with paddle shift and then in the CSL, when it was still SG. It was those CSL laps that convinced me that nothing but a M3 CSL will do as a Ring Toy, from that moment on... I just had to have one... so a partial THANX :thumbs: for pointing me in the RIGHT direction, as it were :beer:

They are nice ones, however! Looks like your car ride height needs lowering a little though... :whistle:

Hi Matt

Send me a picture of your noggin and see if I remember - my memory is diabolical, and I'm sure since my crash last year its got worse. Or perhaps thats age LOL

Glad you enjoyed it, I really enjoyed those times with the 535d and then the CSL.

The two biggest things I noticed in enjoying the ring were:
1. Putting a cage in (even the bolt in one) - it was like a brand new car, some much more pointy
2. 3 way suspension upgrade - more compliant when I wanted it and just (im my opinion) so much better than fast road ones or std.

I'm not grumpy - you just don't understand me :clown:

woudl you think a rear strutt brace/welded in brace might help with that Steve or do you think the full cage for stiffness improvements!

Difficult to say Shimmy, as I've not experienced a car with just that. But I would suspect not, I think the bolted in cage is the answer if you want to keep the car as std as possible with carpets etc.

I just happen to have one for sale LOL :hahaha::thumbs:

Plus £700 postage and you've got a deal :hahaha:

Actually on a serious note thats the best offer I've had so far LOL, so I'll post a new price on the for sale topic so as not to take Matt's thread too far off topic :hahaha:

Ohhh ... Blimin' Hell Steve... I wish I didn't hear U say anything about the "Bolt in cage" and "For Sale" in the same sentence :bigcry: That's one, sure way of keeping my wife out of the CSL :hahaha: :whistle:
