    What does SL mean.

    Volks in Japan told me that the TE37 was old technology and not really suitable for cars 1400kg and above (too much flex) , hence the G2

      White cars are fine if you live in Miami or if the car is Japanese, or you live in essex.

      For the rest of the UK, I'd listen to Yanto. Battleship or frozen grey with dayglo orange cage would look the absolute business while remaining tasteful. :thumbs:

      I saw a black CSL at the ring on german plates which had been stripped and had a dayglo green cage which also looked good. My friend would have bought it as it was for sale, however I warned him that those with lower engine bhp outputs were sprayed black :whistle::hahaha:

                        All I know is I was told te37 flex more than the ideal amount on heavier cars on track hence G2.

                        Wheel specialist also told me stiffness is just as important as weight on rims (hence why BBS rims which can be quite heavy can also be good on track). Wat you gain in weight you can loose on flex.

                        I just wish I'd bought less bling ones :whistle:

                          How long ago did U have that conversation Shimmy ? It's possible these TE37SLs are an improvement on the older TE37s. I'll shoot an e-mail across to Rays people in Osaka before parting with any of my folded stuff, that's for sure. Thanks for your info all the same :thumbs:

                          You could alway get them re-furbed :whistle:

                            It's possible Matt, but looks like they just lightened them more.

                            It was January 2010.

                              Do you know if the old TE37s were "Mold Form Forged" as well ?
