They seem to like these races in Japan...

I spent hours in makeup being made to look like a Kamikaze pilot, but i really enjoyed the race and the experience !! :blalalala:

now strangely enough i can quite easily imagine you dressed up like Micky Rooney playing a japanese race driver - teeth and all!

Get a room, you two :smt008 :gayfight:

At least i look like a human film star... rather than a Lassie throwback!
You lot will make your mind up soon, do i look like:-
1. Bob Hoskins
2. Mickey "Tojo" Rooney
3. Robin Williams
4. All of the above...including lassie !

All these Jap races are totally fixed. Cracks me up how the GTR squeezed across the line after the last corner.

very entertaining! thanks for posting! i wonder if M5 and CSL has stock brakes :wink:

Yes they did. One of the driver makes a comment about Porsche 997 brakes being better then the CSLs and if U watch carefully U can see the CSL braking a little earlier then the Porket but then again it does have the Giant M5 with equally poor anchors :ban:, in front of it :whistle:

why on earth are you suggesting the CSL has poor brakes! (braking earlier)

you obviously havent met Fuchs!

:hahaha: Obviously :whistle: who is this infamous Fuchs ???

he argued quite rightly that stock CSL brakes are really top notch, better than GT3. great stopping power but just limited by the lack of cooling mainly caused by track day heros (hobby drivers he called them).

He correctly stated that CSL brakes are only limited by tyre grip and not disc size or pad size

I presume he got the firing squad for that, on here :smt070:smt070:smt070

No


hes right :bigcry:

Hmmm... I'd go as far as to say that M3 CSLs front floating 345 mm discs are excellent :thumbs: and with the decent brake pads like (Performance Friction "R" or Pagid RS19 / RS 29), braided lines and Racing speck brake fluid plus adequate cooling, can work very well :beer: ... but to say they are better then Porsche Brembo GT3 set up :clown: ?!?! No way, never, not in a million years

I remember the epic thread on MTorque - Hobby Drivers :wanker: :hahaha:

Well before my time ... thankfully, by the sound of things ;) Was it a bit of a swinging handbag fest ?

Hahaha, a bit is a total understatement. It went on for like 30 pages. :)

You could say that! There were a few opinionistic egos and spats flying around too...! :gayfight: :hahaha:

Ohh dear :gayfight: :hahaha: Best & Worst of Forum life ;)

that thread was unreal, think thats how wars start.

nice video... love the sound of that gallardo on the down changes, almost as good as a CSL :)

Real men don't brake.- Fuchsrohre

Singel piston miracles of CSL are more than capable, if you are driving and you are not a big_brake_boy_cafe_racer.

Who was 'Curly' ?
hahaahaha

Awesome video Matt!! :smokin: :thumbs:

It's "Good Value" isn't it :beer:

Dontdobends - hell be at Spa again with us

Good vids, enjoyed those,find some more of the CSL in action please.:thumbs::thumbs:

OK, since you've asked :whistle: ... here's another one, with good noise :thumbs:

Here's another one of E46 M3 V M3 CSL shoot out at the old Anglesey Circuit :thumbs: Conclusive proof that U've made the right move :whistle:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoMSwig27UQ&feature=fvw

Thought the CSL would be quicker than that,i suppose over 10 laps thats a big margin,what if the stock M3 had cups on like the CSL.:whistle:

i think that is 2 secs at Anglesey Costal circuit which would be probabaly 4 secs at donny and 5 secs at Silverstone - probabaly half of that down to Cups:thumbs:

2 seconds per lap on a very short Anglesey 1 mile Circuit is a big difference :beer:

Maybe a bit more than that Andrew? Apparently, 70% of the 32 second difference in the Ring time, between the standard M3 and the CSL is due to tyres.... M3 was tested with Sport contact 1 tyres.
