CSL health check list

ithinkihaveone · 02-07-2013, 03:31 PM

Hi all, I'm new to the CSL fold; picked mine up 2 weeks ago.

Great car but I want to press the reset button on it, give it a health check and put it back to stock.

Pinking

It's pinking on part throttle and misfiring when under load at under 50mph in top gear. I know it could be a head gasket but I suspect the coils and plugs could do with changing. I have bought DCPR8EIX plugs and wondering if there are any 'favoured' coils and best places to buy them?

Oil

It's under 50k miles with 10k to go before a service but I'm going to change the oil and filter too. Anything the CSL crowd recommend?

Camber setup

Also, I have serious tyre wear on the insides of both fronts, they're down to the canvas where there rest of the tyre is fine. I think the camber has been setup for track work, so I'd like to put this back to stock.

Tyres

I'm running Michelin Sports (f) and Michelin Supersport (r) I would have thought I'd be better having stickier fronts and harder wearing rears. Any combinations CSLers really rate?

Anything else?

Should I check anything else? Air filter, fuel filter.. sensors.. etc. I might as well get stuck in, spend a bit of cash and then enjoy it.
I'm in London - do you have any recommended places / garages when it comes to alignment / camber setup.

Thanks.
