As I could not sell the CSL after almost parting ways, I thought it right to lavish her with gifts to ease the pain of nearly parting.

Ill update with pics in the next week or so.

I have fitted my Corbeau pro series race seat with harnesson vac motorsport mount, a must have for me, being a big guy I sat on the standard CSL seat rather than in it, and being of the one armed variety I used to slip out, making left handers quite difficult.

Passenger seat to follow.

New wheels, went for the pro race 1.2 again in 18 x 9j et20 again, but this time in matt black rather than gloss. (pm for price I can get these for a v good price if anyone wants)
New tyres to go on.

Ordering some new pads/discs as back ups for the alcons.

V box lite will be next on my purchase list.:smokin:

Half cage with rear strut brace/harness bar, gt3 esque.

And i wanted to freshen up the appearance so she is currently being re-wrapped in a different colour:beer:, with a few little personal touches.

I'm feeling romantic so bring on the CSL Love:smt055:smt055:smt055:smt055

Ace mods lawsy, exactly what I'd do! and how the car should have been from the start imo. Can't remember which suspension you're running? Think the seat/harness should be big difference on steering.

Hopefully Ian, you know what I mean re the falling out the seat, its hard to hold yourself in whilst also maintaining a smooth corner.

Did you get my PM Ian:thumbs:

Cheers Nathan...im sitting here like a coiled fookin spring !

Off topic a bit, but can you shed any light as to why the Hi res cams shipped with the Vbox lite, are so susceptible to glare, Shims vids of Spa suffered, and so did mine from the Ring last trip, I had mine mounted almost centre of car, and looking through the seats, high up out of the way obviously for the Ring. It was a bright day for my vid, but not quite so for Shims. Would a filter help? Do they do them?

I spoke to them a few weeks back regarding exactly this issue - they are working on some filters...
