Hi - New to CSL

csl_mba · 18-11-2008, 09:18 PM

Hi All

I am realitively new to CSL ownership (about 3 months) but loving every minute of it

I used to own an Impreza which was running a little less BHP than the CSL but was a car i loved for 3 years, so stepping into a rear wheel drive non turbo was a bit of a shock for me

Not only does it kick out (which i excpected) in the damper conditions but its soooooo much faster (top end) than the scoob, and tbh i think rivals the sound of one too, especially at the 4,500 rpm with sports on

Hoping to do some trackdays in the new year too

Welcome
Yip it can be fun when Damp

The sound of the induction is fantastic it sounds like the bmw touring cars of old

Hey CSL_MBA,
Welcome. I'm sure you'll love owenership. It's a totally different experience to the subaru.
Interesting that you went for a sapphire black one, nice a discreet if a CSL can be discreet.
Very special car, after a while you'll wonder how on earth you'll replace it if the time comes.

Enjoy!

Hi mate
Welcome, i too am new to the CSL, only had it for about 3 days, really really like it, get even more impressed with it each time i drive it., i have had a few scares though in these damp conditions, new underwear needed...... as i too was used to 4 wheel drive, this was in a skyline R34, have to say though, this is a much more exciting car, when that noise comes in and the paddle shifts it does feel like your in a racing car.
Enjoy it mate

Welcome!

CSL ownership only gets better as you learn the car and what it can do.

Only had it for 3 days and you're already getting it sideways! Love it.
It took me months to turn the DSC off and it stepped out so quickly.
I thought that the car looks better on the road than up a lamp-post / on its roof so DSC stays on!

Lol, this was with the DSC on and in a stright bit of road

Was quite greasy though.
For me the DSC is always staying on
