Had my CSL for 5 yrs - just found the best/cheapest mod

Had my CSL for 5 years, and remember playing around with the seat settings in the early days but today went the whole hog and moved them down to their lowest settings. Must of only moved the seat down a couple of cm (previously on the middle setting) but you feel like you are sitting a lot lower and more 'in touch' with the car. It's a much better driving position IMO and the car feels a lot more planted - maybe the centre of gravity is a bit lower

I had only moved the seats lower because upon a close inspection noticed that both seat frames had snapped at the front - I had felt the seat flexing a bit but thought it was normal with them being plastic. Had the piece that had snapped removed and welded up and hopefully strength it.

Worth checking your own seats to see it there's any issues and while at it get the seats down to the lowest setting (if you haven't already).

Oh and a new seat frame is just over a grand !!

And thirdly my airbag light has come on - does it need an ECU reset to get rid of it - looks like everything is plugged in.
