Booked into Simpsons for RTAB LK!

[cslbecks]

Newbie here (04 SG CSL with 16k on clock) and ive had my car around 3 weeks now (loving it!!!) and have booked my first track day at Brands on Nov 25th - so on the advice of many other CSL owners ive checked my car into Simpsons to have the RTAB Limiter Kit fitted and Geo set up.
Its being fitted next Tuesday 4th November. Im going to get there for 9am and guess i will be there for a few hours - so if any CSL owners are passing by it would be great to meet and say hello!!

Looking at doing this myself - let me know how you get on and the difference you feel :smokin:

[Andyk]

I live about 6 or so miles away....working but if I'm about will pop in and say hello.

[cslbecks]

Thanks Andy - be good to meet.

I'm provisionally booked into Simpson again on Mon 17 Nov to get the full AP brake kit fitted. Maybe we can attempt a meet again Andyk? :-D

[cslbecks]

Hi Andy - ive just found out that CA do a similar RTAB Limiter Kit by Rogue Engineering - do you know if its any good??

It looks very similar to the Turner kit - I'm sure there's very little in it performance wise with both offering the same benefits. I think the Turner kit is more widely used/recognised?

I'm certainly happy with the Turner kit after 'testing' it at the track! :smt023

You never know...thats 3 of you all going on different day over the next 3 weeks...I'll have to think of alot of excuses to tell the boss.

[whopwop]

please forgive my stupidity, but what is a ''RTAB Limiter Kit'' ?

[dave1]

it limits the movement in the tca bush tightens the back and and stops the bushes tearing a great upograde for little money :thumbs:

[englebert]

It restricts movement of the rear trailing arm bushes. TBH i don't see the benefit over just some better bushes.

[whopwop]

cool, thanks.

By 'better', do you mean poly bushes?

As you're no doubt aware, poly bushes transmit a greater level of vibrations through the suspension (and the rest of the car).

This is fine for a car which spends all of it's life on a track. But not necessarily great for a road car (which is tracked regularly). The bush limiting kit allows you to have the compliance of the standard bushes without (obviously) letting them move around.

Hi CSLBecks, I'll be passing through Simpsons on Tuesday, but later on at about 3pm if your still there? Won't be in the CSL though. It's tucked up under it's cover in the garage.

[cslbecks]

Im not going to Simpsons now - im actually booked into have the Rogue kit fitted by CA in Langley and have spacers fitted - going there on Weds 5th Nov.

[Bravo73]

Personally speaking, I'd only be willing to let Simpsons, Thorney's or Murketts tinker with my CSL.

[cslbecks]

Why is that then??

[Mark CSL]

I love to tinker with my CSL.

Up all night Tinkering with the CSL is fun.

( Come to think about it i must get out more )

:banana: :banana: :banana:

[Bravo73]

Why is that then??

Personal experience and recommendations (or otherwise) on here and elsewhere.


I'd better add Mark to that list too... :whistle:

[cslbecks]

Mmmm - what do i do???

[Gastro]

Out of interest, having the RTAB replaced with the OEM items - is it relatively inexpensive ?

Reason I ask is that my car fills a little tail happy at the moment and I don't track my cars - so when it goes in for its service I might get this done.

[AlexGTT]

Mmmm - what do i do???

Follow the advice given above. I think the same.......................but it's your choice.

NOOO STAY AWAY FROM THE ROGUE kit

The rogue rtab is poly-urethane just like the powerflex rtab, but if you actually hold both in hand, the rogue rtab feels like cheap plastic, where the powerflex rtab actually feels a bit softer but still very stiff.

the rogue version 1 was terrible as the copper anti-seize would just squeeze off of it completely. i had them on my car for about 2k miles before being so put off by the sound

here are the rogue ones in the holding

here they are outside of the holding -- notice barely ANY anti-seize left?

the powerflex ones have been on my car for about 6k miles with no problems
