Default CSL has blown me away.

I must say im totally blown away.

Even more so after my mods I've done.

Since owning it since 6th june 2009(it sticks in my mind), ive done the following, all myself mind.

Fully serviced.
Modded my shift buttons as per previous posts.
Set of 18" pro race 1.2 wearing yokohama a048 medium/hard slippers 235 40 18 front and 265 35 18 rears. Just for the track
Refurbed my original alloys in black.
New road tyres.
Fitted 100 cell race cats (now sounds ferrari/lambo ish with the titanium rear section)
Fitted a set of AP's bbk with carbo tech xp10 pads front and rear, stands on its nose now.
Fitted a set of KW Clubsport coilover suspension, only done a quick setup before i get round to a full geo/corner weighting session. But i must say the brakes and the suspension have made the car come alive.
Esp the kw's, they just inspire you to take the corners faster and fill you with confidence.

If you are going to do any mods, make sure you start with brakes/suspension, forget engine mods on these babies.

All this ready for my upcoming trackdays

If anyone is coming to oulton on 1st august it will be good to put names to faces. Look forward to meeting you guys.

My reg plate reads S 14WSY, come say hello

Shane

Nice one Shane.

I'm hoping to fit a set of KW Clubsports very soon now that i am not going down the Intrax route...

Would be very interested to hear any feedback or issues you have had fitting and adjusting them.

Cheers,

Rob

Fitting was very simple, but i do own a garage

So far without perfect setup, ie height, rebound, camber etc etc they feel 75% better than stock, im dialing them in on wed so ill let you know.
And ill report back after oulton park

Looking good Shane.

I'm looking at the same wheels for my track wheels, How much lighter are they than the standard ones???

Also can you please explain corner weighting and how it's done. I have heard people talk about it before but have never understood what it means.

I too have the KW Clubsports and rate them highly, there are a few of us on here that have shared our settings, i'll dig them out for you if you like.
