I'd be intersted to know how well you can corner weight a CSL?

I had KW3's fitted to mine which were not corner weighted when fitted.

A friend of mine races Minis and offered to do it.

He spent a whole day on it and never charged me because he couldn't get any where near what he thought was acceptable (on his Mini he can get to <1.5kg) I think the CSL was 10's of kg's, I'm sure the 100kg of ballast in the drivers seat didn't help!

What he did definitely improved things the car would pull dead staight on a fast pull away rather than drifting requiring stering input to correct.

The car was designed for left hand drive, so by putting the steering on the right, its messed the weight balance up at the front. So extra weight on the offside front, plus driver =

So thats why its good to get corner weighting, as best as you can, to atleast make the car more balanced.

That's why LHD CSLs are faster !!!
Especially when they are Grey

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that starting a thread on corner weighting would lead to pics of naked women, I am shocked! But I am also very glad!!!

By the way I went to see a guy called Jez who owns Horsham developments. He really knows his stuff and spent a long time on my car getting it as close as possible. Highly recommend him!
