Looks quick as fook, but how long will it last?? Looks like a time bomb ready to go off.

If you want something very fast get an evo, it you want to be stylish and fast get a csl

Its not an everyday car, and its only a forged 2.0l so hopefully will be reliable as fook,

but hopefully i wont have to worry about that if i get myself a csl,

How reliable are the csl's, hearing a few stories about gearbox problems around 3 rd gear ??

Get one with warranty and don't worry!!!!:thumbs::hahaha:



Funny I have not seen your EVO around as I live in Rainhill so not too far away from you.


Looks very nice:supz:

Dont drive it that often, mainly on track days, weekend blasts etc, at the moment im getting a proshift system fitted, with push buttin gearchange on steering wheel so hopefully ill be out playing soon

Only ever seen one csl round my ways, that was one of our customers, husbands car. they all seem to be down south or in sunny scotland:thumbs:

My garage is not too far from you, i have a mercedes specialist garage in warrington, its a pity the mercs chassis are not as good as bmw's as some of the merc engines are peaches,

They do all seem to be down south. I have seen one around here which was at Car Planet last Sunday when I went for a look around. MB tech?

I obviously don't know you from a bar of soap but looking at the car and all you've done to it, I'm just not sure a CSL will provide the adrenalin you're chasing. That's not to say that a CSL is for retiree's but that they are lower powered than your car, and really, not the sort of car that you mod endlessly unless you are prepared to have a car that's impossible to sell. They're a little like GT3's - the majority of people want them standard and mostly unadulterated.

That said, you will still enjoy the car, but in a different way than the Evo.

Thats us, do we know you?

Yeh seen that one myself, he's put the yellow bm calipers on it, looks cool, max was trying to get him to tune it ha

[Jaw_F430]

No I have never been but funny enough today someone mentioned your place to my cousin, he has an annoying seat belt warning sound on his ML270CDI.


I want the brakes he has. The guy at Car Planet said the fronts are Lamborghini Gallardo brakes and 911 turbo on the rear but they say BMW motorsport on them

i think we can remove that noise, alternatively get a seat belt buckle from a scrappy and plug it in, hey presto, cheap fix,

I did not see the fronts tbh as i was inside and only seen the car as he was leaving, but the rears looked like the bmw motorsport calipers in yellow that are available, ill find out what calipers they are as im threre tomorrow

I thought they were CSL cups brakes at first:smt055


Do you charge to just plug in and see what is wrong? Or do you just charge to fix it?

It depends mate, if someone just wants to know whats wrong we charge, if they get it fixed, we tend to not charge for just putting the computer on the car,

But the computer does not always show a fault, we may need to check wiring etc, get him to give us a call tomorrow, 01925 653 050, and you could come and show me your csl:smt055

Class, pure class!!!! :hahaha:

I agree that you can't compare, the above could continue with me saying I have driven radical SR8 that have run rings around your highly modified civic (I haven't but they would do)...

Hey... hardly fair comparing a tin top shopping trolley with an oversized go-kart !!

But after seeing what you've done to the EVO, I really think you should keep it rather than go to a CSL - my feelings are you'll be disappointed (not because the CSL is no good - it's a blast around the track and will keep up with the best of the best) - but it's just a different sort of a beast compared to a modified EVO (which given by the sort of mods you've done, I'd say you are more into that scene rather than the poser crowd that's the CSL owners club :whistle::blalalala
