Black CSL at Menzies 19/03/09

sailorbaz · 19-03-2009, 09:04 PM

Spotted at Menzies today, as above with hooge Stoptech Brakes, some kind of Aftermarket suspension, carbon bits on the inside and out, CSL badge in the wrong place!

I'd heard a CSL had been in getting repaired so I'm guessing this was her. Looked cracking, had that film that Mark has on his. Protection that goes over the regular stone chipped areas.

Lovely looking car BTW. LAst couple of letters included an N, a Z and something else!

That was mine, it was in Menzies for an mot, the bodyshop manager was telling me about the one that was in for repair, driver said he had it in a lovely powerslide.....then ran out of talent.

Scott, she was a cracker. Put mine to shame so had to park, REALLY far away from yours. Mine was minging, but got a good going over the following weekend. Made me feel guilty.

What suspension is on it? I noticed she was sitting well low and noticed the shiny struts!

Loving all the wee CF bits inside the car too, (Yeh, me and my mate did have a good nosey about, how you don't mind) You should nip up to Knockhill sometime, even just for a look at to meet a couple of us.

Its got kw's fitted, fitted them during the winter and that was the first time it's been out of the garage since fitting them. After collecting it i took it a run round lochearnhead and was very impressed with them, bought them from thorney and he gave me fast road/track settings for them which work well so far, although i may need to raise the front slightly since it has settled.

KW V3s? Ive got them with Thorneys FR geo and I dont really like how it feels up front. You toe'd out?

I've got mine so low that progrip had problems getting it set to thorneys recommended settings so set it as close as possible, probably going to raise the front and back then get geo done again.Had a bilstein pss9 on it before the kw's, i wouldn't take a bilstein kit again if it was free.

Scott, admittedly she was sitting on her tits when I seen her in Stirling. You go to Progrip in Bonnybridge? I took mine there, the guy was spot on. He keyed in Thorneys fast road set up for me no bother as he has the Hunter gear doesn't he?

Can we have some photos soon mate?

Its slightly too low to be honest, i'm going to raise the front 10mm this week.Your right enough John at Progrip knows his stuff, i believe he's got one of only two of those hunter geo machines in Scotland, not that expensive either, he had another black csl in a couple of weeks before mine, a guy called mark, can't think who that could have been???.

I think the other Hunter machine is at Falkland Performance in Fife. That's where my mate had his springs fitted, they're good there too.

Aye, I wonder who that was with the Black CSL....

They had to put my car on the Geo machine backwards its that low

Get some pics up Scott!
