CSLCup Snetterton Race 2 Video

I am surprised at how much of a handful your car looks compared to ours, you seem to have to wrestle it through the corners. Clearly works for you as the lap times show, but I reckon it would have me off at the first corner!

The SMG on Nathans lasted for an hour and a half of racing at Snetterton before it started messing about - I think he ran cooling to the SMG gubbins. There should be no reason that SMG couldnt cope with a 20 min race?

[_Nathan_]

Even when it did start playing up it was nowhere near as bad as that.

Fingers crossed you get it sorted.

The CSL gearbox is great for trackdays, but it can't handle consistantly hard racing laps - great shame.

Disagree, mine has run all year without issues. The issue we had woith the paddles was simple wiring, the gb itself is very strong. Steve has som sever issues hat need to be identified though.

[Thorney]

I was considering that, but John Thorne was telling me there's all sorts of problems converting a CSL to manual, regarding the wiring loom etc :bigcry:

its doable but expensive and time consuming. I rekon fix the problem, as I'm 00% confiden that it can be fixe.

Dodgy keyboard or Morphine kicking in? :blalalala:

I'd say it should be fixable too, if all the mechanical bits have been changed then start looking at the electronic side of things?

Mmmm, not so confident then John. :hahaha:

Isn't Nathan's CSL now a somewhat 'de-tuned' powered version of a CSL...? :whistle:

Get well soon btw John! :smt056

Yeah, but it will still do a 1:17.6 round Snett, even though its missing 30bhp.

It's much easier to drive;

We found that if we set it up with a sharp front end it became undrivable as the tyres wore out, so it has a slight bit of understeer built in. I think we also run wider front tyres than the CSL Cup cars.

I was just quite surprised at how much Steve had to work the steering through the corners.

i would tend to disagree in as much as not many cars gearboxes can stand torture for track or race. most disintegrate with driver error (wrong gear and missed clutch) but the CSL SMG has neither of those but sometimes can go wrong

in other words it is not faultless but it does rule out driver error and damage which at the end of the year can help

most race cars gearboxes are consumables esp with bigger bhp and need rebuilds.

Never had any probs with my smg in both the csl or the m3 which had 70k on the clock
