What is the best set like? I wish i'd looked at them more closely when I was round - didn't know i'd be getting a CSL then! :hahaha:

Are these the ones you advertised a few weeks ago? you could have taken them to Simpson's for me!! :hahaha:

And yes I could have taken them to Simpsons if you would have bought them!:smt055

Post is only £20................:smokin:

Hmmmmmm... I don't believe you're getting my drift so here it is broken down for Ya :gayfight: ;)
I get the first pickings and you get the left overs as I can be @ Shimmys in less then an hour :blalalala: ;) :hahaha:

[glendog74]

Fooks sake boys - just pay an extra £200 and get a new set! :banghead::hahaha:

Is that an offer moneybags? :hahaha::thumbs:

It's a bit more than £200 extra for a new set, and if it's not then I will be buying a new set :hahaha:

Tracking an M3 CSL and being a cheapskate don't go together i'm afraid... :whistle:

[funtime]

Tracking an M3 CSL and being a cheapskate don't go together i'm afraid... :whistle:

So you are then, Matt - how can we thank Rob for being so generous? wash his car? or make him a thankyou card with our own fair hands? :hahaha::gayfight:

Being a cheapskate would be fitting the CSL with Nankangs, buying 30% used CUP's for 40% of the new price is just being resourceful ;)

[3wheels3]

Don't worry there's always plenty of used cups. I've got some, just waiting on Duncan who has first dibs on them

[funtime]

Cheers mate, I'm not worrying, only it's a bit urgent now as I need them posted to Simpsons before the end of next week, otherwise I can't pick my CSL up :bigcry:

But I think we all know that Duncan needs some new Cup's - if he doesn't have them let me know! ;):thumbs:

[M5 Powered]

I've got some too with less than 20 laps and even wear. Just don't ask how old they are! :hahaha:

do you think that the last 70% of the wear will result in as much grip as the first 30% tho - false economy methinks

[shimmy]

do you think that the last 70% of the wear will result in as much grip as the first 30% tho - false economy methinks


lower tread is better performance as long as they havent been heat cycled too many times.

race teams shave the Cups down to 3.5mm for best performance

So yes :hahaha:

Uber grippy... now Shimmy - sort me out some CUPS :thumbs:

[glendog74]

do you think that the last 70% of the wear will result in as much grip as the first 30% tho - false economy methinks

Especially when you factor in postage and the cost to have the tyres mounted by a decent fitting shop...

[northernjim]

lower tread is better performance as long as they havent been heat cycled too many times.

race teams shave the Cups down to 3.5mm for best performance

that is the point I meant tho - how would buyer know how many heat cycles said tyres had gone thru?

more rubber depth = more tread movement = more heat

plus depends how old the tyre is too - pauls old tyre looked scarier than duncs bald tyre!


you will get better outright performance from any new tyre if you shave it.....


I'm just saying tread depth isn't the only factor you should consider when buying secondhand tyres:- age, and usage, have a bearing too.....:beer:

I know your right in many respects, but it just comes down to the fact that it's much easier buying 2 set's or used CUP's per year at £400-600 than 1 set at £1100-1200 a year ;)

And besides - this is my first set on the CSL so until I get my camber settings and tyre pressure/temperature's under control on track days i'm better of practicing with part worns.

Like Shimmy said it's better to goose a £400 set than a brand new £1100 set just because your learning... he has said in numerous posts recently that if he knew what he knows now (re temp's and pressures) when he bought his CSL he would have saved £1000's in wasted CUP's. :smokin:

[northernjim]

fair enough:beer:

enjoy playing out with the new old cups then:smokin:

"Shimmy said"... Shim really has got you in awe! He's not the only member here to have driven on track...

Are you the new 'CSL Register Shimmy Appreciation Society President' by any chance? :hahaha:

Regarding camber, Simpson will set your car up expertly - of that i am sure.

I also doubt if he'll sell you a set of Cups for £400 - unless of course they were made circa 1982, have around 2mm of tread and you have 'volunteered' to join his Man Train in return for his deal! :bigcry:






(I love you too Shim... :smt055 )

[shimmy]

fair enough:beer:

what you say is partly right Jim but also you can rag a set of new Cups very easily in one trackday if you are not careful and ruin them with regards to lifespan. In a perfect world buying new is best BUT if you factor in all the times when you take a new set and wear the inside edge coz our camber aint quite right or pressures are a bit too high or temps are a bit hot in summer, they are not always very good value.

Once you have learnt how to look after them properly and drive without massive understeer or a loose back end then maybe.....

Don't take it personally mate, Shimmy's head is simply swelling a little from all the constant adulation by Funtime :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

[3wheels3]

...Shimmy's head is simply swelling a little from...

Lap times? If I see shimmy's car in car park I'll be heading back home now...

[M5 Powered]

Mashing an older set of Cups was my logic in buying older tyres being a relative track newbie.

I agree that the ring and track specialists on here (including you Rob) it makes sense to steer clear, but a set of 'shimmy specials' makes alot of sense if your still learning / setting up the car.

Am now not going to make it to Germany this year as the wife has decided on an extension and need the space back in the garage. :banghead:

Right you fookers...

No, your right Rob he is not the only member on here to have driven on track, but he's probably gone through the most set's of cups and looking at his lap times, he knows a fair bit about setup and tyre management.

Plus, it just so happens that Shimmy's given me some honest advice when I've enquired about buying bit's from him, so this is all I have to go on.

Of course I could start a thread every time I've had a question, but take this thread for example - I've asked for some cup's and it's turned in to a whole lot of man train discussion. :hahaha:

Whilst this is all good banter, when I've asked Shimmy a question he's given me straight talking advice from his first hand experiences which is helpful when thats just what I need.

re camber, yes defiantly - Simpson's will set it up perfectly - of that I have no doubt, I guess I was referring more to pressure and temp management.

And I said £400-600 as a rough guide, he hasn't given me a price yet.

Don't take it personally mate, Shimmy's head is simply swelling a little from all the constant adulation by Funtime :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:

Again, I admit I have made a bit of a rod for my own back - I've come on here looking for a CSL, bought some Intrax from Shimmy so he's the only person I've met and hence the person who's been able to give me the most helpful advice. So yes, when I'm refering to advice I've been given on here most of the time it has been 'Shimmy said' ;)

Lap times? If I see shimmy's car in car park I'll be heading back home now...

At least someone's noticed, hence I've taken on board what guidance he has given me when buying bit's for my CSL.

Mashing an older set of Cups was my logic in buying older tyres being a relative track newbie.

I agree that the ring and track specialists on here (including you Rob) it makes sense to steer clear, but a set of 'shimmy specials' makes alot of sense if your still learning / setting up the car.

Yes it all makes sense in my position I think, and I would go for your set, but at 8 years old I'm just worried that i'll have to get alot of heat into them for any sort of grip which is not too bad on track but could cause a few scary moments on the road. ;)

Still thinking about them though...



Sorry for the rant, I know it's all good banter on here but I just want to make the point that I don't want to become a 'mini Shimmy', but I do appreciate the advice he has given me.

After all, twas shimmy who told me about my CSL - i'd still be looking otheriwse :thumbs::hahaha:

[glendog74]

It's alright fella - we still love you and we also love Shimmy. :gayfight:
