" Clubber's CSL Journal "

[Clubber]

Hey Everyone,

This is a mini journal of my CSL. Will try to update as I go along with info that would hopefully be helpful to all of us.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After carefully reading every track addicts choices and advices, I decided to go for a lightweight 18" track wheels and Cups for my track work. And use the 19" CSL's with Michelin Super Sports (Awesome in the rain btw). I just heat cycled them for 15 min of moderate twisty driving and will be parked till tomorrow for the full effect.

They are 18x9 ET40 OZ Ultraleggera wrapped in 265/35/18 Michelin Cups. 10mm Spacer in the front and 20mm in the back. Will try them this weekend at the track looking forward for my first CUP experience.

Here are a couple shots, will add more after the track day. Thanks for looking.

Thanks.

Wheels weigh 8.7kg each compared to 12.6kg and 13.8kg for CSLs.
I forgot to put them on a scale with the tires but will do on Monday when I take them off and switch back to CSL'S with Michelin SS. I'll update this thread with exact weights of both setup.

The weight will be a nice difference but, my main reason for this setup was cost and to eliminate slight understeer with wider fronts. Since this is a square setup, you can rotate the wheels front and back, left and right. Hence longer life (At least thats the plan)

With OEM CSL setup, cups cost around %15 more (might me different in UK or other countries) and you can only switch left to right. Not to mention the 18 sizes are much easier to find.

Thanks PP. It's more like a weekend and track car so would be a slim shot to see it around actually. I am located in Istanbul on the European side but let me know next time you are around, I'd be happy to show her to you.
