Yes Baz it was from March Motors. Bryan is a top guy to deal with although i was kicking myself as he bought it from a mates mate so immediately stuck a couple of grand on it

saying that was happy with the deal as it had the AP's, he put new PS2's on it, had the front end painted and the splitters re lacquered to remove the stone chips and threw me in some genuine BMW mats for it.
Car was spotless when i went to view and inside

Really is an enthusiast and has had quite a few as his daily runers over the years.
Would i buy from him again???? sure without question.

Exhausts, hmmmmm i'm thinking SS light weight this year and centre section.

Thinking about it thought Paul, to replace the Tyres (with PS2's no less), paint the front end and tidy up the splitters, you're looking at about £1.5K anyway, so he maybe only made £700-£1K out of it.

My mates M3 only had about 17K on it, but was about 5 years old iirc, it was immaculate and still is if I'm honest.

Thinking of the SS route myself.

Sorry to jump in on the thread Baz, do you know if anybody has tried a Tubi exhaust on a CSL?

No worries Paul

I bit the bullet and got myself some proper SS Lightweight pipes

back in November 2010

Thats what i'm talking about Matt

They seem to look so good on the CSL. How is the noise? I do quite a few days at Croft and am forever getting pulled for noise (95db limit) unless it's a noisy day which are few and far between.

You got the suspension on yet? been looking at the Billy kit myself.

update on this, I did the cut and weld on my flange

it lasted 6 months, at crimbo when I was checking over the car I noticed the weld hadnt held properly and I just pulled it off. New solution required. Checked the seal without flange and no gases escaping. I was going to get an SS centre with resonator but I've been told it takes the rasp away so not for me.

Get the SS centre without resonator then - like mine

SS Race Lightweight and standard cat + centre is around 97dB...

Noisy day at Croft required to get on!
