CSLGirl, think I might have to get a set of Cups now after your post!! :beer:
And if you fancy joining myself and a friend (both CSLs) in a convoy to the ring next year feel free, have been a few times before so sort of know the deal! Can't wait to get back there!!

M3CSLIRL, what 4WD have you come from fella? I had an Evo before....

IRL - I had an Evo VIII FQ-340 with a "few" mods, running 380bhp/380ftlbs so was in the same boat as you really. Am a bit more cautious in this weather than I was in the Evo. You'll get the feel of it soon enough Mines a SG '53' CSL by the way. It had PS2s all round when I bought her, so when the rears needed changing I went straight for those, didn't really think. But I might try Cups for the summer (plus a trackday or 2 + a few ring trips).

Sweet looking motor mate! have you got her lowered? did you adjust the camber for going to the ring? and how did she handle? and more cautios on the ring to the evo???? How does she drive on the ring compared to the evo? where you there last easter?

Thanks Nope she is completely standard (just looks low because of the speed I was chucking it into the Karusel I guess), and the suspension geometry is standard road set up as far as I know.
Handling amazed me!! I was impressed before, after 1 trackday at Brands plus my road use but the 'ring just showed how good our cars are.
I started out very cautiously, being new to the car & RWD in general but it filled me with confidence and after a couple of laps I was absolutely flying. Compared to the Evo, harder work, more concentration required, the Evo was slightly dull in comparison... too easy to go quick. But CSL is so rewarding. You won't regret taking yours there. Last time I was there was July I think, wasn't easter anyway.

Hi Guys,
So i went to get prices on the Ps2s and Cups Yesterday, He has to get back to me but informed me of the New BF Goodrich Tyres with a softer Compound i know the WRC are using BF Goodrich this year and i can get a full set for 880 Euro looking after myself! So any thoughts on this or have you heard of what there like? :whistle:

Goodyear F1 asymmetrics at tyrexpress.com, fantastic value for the money. I have 275/30 rear and 245/35 front. PS2s also excellent but a bit more expensive. Had them before the new Goodyear came out.
