Never Gonna See My CSL Again

Dunc

As usual you are a Gent
and after a test drive i might just hold you to that! :thumbs:

Just bear in mind the service costs Stu,

We serviced a v12 vantage, it required engine/subframe drop to change oil filter.

We got quotes to see how much it would be and we were quoted £1050+vat just for an engine oil and filter change:smt044

If this is not a problem go for it, but I would dread to think what a full service would be.

Just some food for thought.


GTR running costs can be quite high too, service every 6k or 6months, it soon comes round and if in the network is not cheap, tyres dont last long if hooning and come in at near 2k for the dunlops, only available through dealers too.

I would seriously think down the pork route if I was in your shoes, they seem to have sensible service costs too. :thumbs:

I'm with Lawsy on this one. GT3 or RS is the natural progression Stu and very reasonable to service compared to AM Vantage V12 or Lambo. Mind you, the mileage you do at the mo it might not worry you.

Nice decision to make though bud.:smokin:

I must admit if I was Stu and could be bothered to prize myself of the ladyboys, I'd probably go for an AM DBS - the depreciation I would not like, and I would not track it, but a nice comfortable bird magnet (I have been watching Inbetweeners on the plane today by the way) and a great car. Less obvious than and RS or Lambo so can be used day to day without feeling like a knob.

But he's a knob anyway, so who will know the difference.:whistle:

Good point though Shimmy. DBS is cool as.:smokin:

I am a knob or i use mine more than you :thumbs:

thanks for the advise guys, really not sure what i will do and tbh right now im that bloody busy i don't know when i would be back in the UK to use it.

But whatever i get it will be used and will go on track also like the 911 turbo with PDK as i really don't want to go back to a manual car.

Aint that still under warranty then my 5 fingered friend ???:hahaha:

[shimmy]

I thought stu was on V3's?

Stu has KW V3s + top mounts Shim.

Paperwork is Clubsports and Thorney invoice is Clubsports and paperwork says 352 20 825 which is Clubsports - how can i tell by looking at them the difference?

[DazBlackCSL]

Talk to me if you go the AM route Bealo ...have contact.

DUNCAN :whistle:

That is odd, as Stu asked me to get a price to upgrade from V3's to clubsports, and was waiting for the new twisty adjuster type CS to launch ...

But then he could of been on CS all along without knowing :smt102

Have had the front right wheel off nd on the damper it says


kW 202 1002R

art no 35320335

FK12 BBK 832


Anybody got a picture of there's and if it is the same :smokin:

[glendog74]

It's the same mate - the damper assembly must be common between the V3 & Clubsport.

I would imagine the springs (stiffer) and top mounts are the only difference between the two kits.
