Hi Mike

I know that this is not really what your asking, but for my 2 penniworth.....I went down the modifying a standard M3 route to get my track car, and now have an M3 that weighs in at around 1350KG (.33 in the tank) allegedly has the magical 400bhp NA, Nitron R3 Schirmer suspension, Alcon CSL cup brakes with them stupidly expensive PF pads, Drexler plated diff, Solid Schirmer bushes, etc, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah...........Yes, she is pretty handy on the track , but fecking horrible to drive there.......and to be totally honest, from what i've experienced from dicking about on track with the CSL boys, me having a few (supposed) extra BHP makes no sodding difference whatsoever.....FACT.....and you aint gonna get bored driving one.....EVER!

Like you, (and for similar reasons) i'm now thinking of getting a CSL, and will be carrying out the minimum of Mods.... Brakes, exhaust, Pooky suspension

.....But that will be it!....It will be a joy to drive to the Ring, and a joy to go round it!!......a CSL is a pretty unique thing to begin with, and I seriously believe you've got to be mental to go beyond the generally accepted bounds of modifying one.......but each to their own i suppose.

Good luck though mate........love the Escort!!!
