" Clubber's CSL Journal "

The rollbar I considered was a bolt-in clubsport model by weichers. When I looked at the mounting points it looked too weak to give any proper strenght. It looked more show than go unless of course you mounted a weldin part which may have helped the handling.

I opted for a fully welded cage. Obviously much more troublesome to reverse but mine is a keeper so I went the whole hog.

Well that's brave ! Isn't it dangerous to drive without a helmet in a full cage ?

Not to him really :clown:

The thing about a full roll cage imo is that you need to have harnesses to hold you in place instead of seat belts and you need to have foam padding. Helmets add extra safety but not needed to be road legal.

And you are correct, clubsport packs in porsches have specific mounts that incorporated with the rear cage adds stiffness but nothing like the strength of a full welded cage. my csl is stiffer than my gt3 rs which is saying a lot.


love the battery install (very neat). i have a braille AGM lightweight B2317RP but not the brackets to hold it in place. do I call Braille for those?

oh and they don't last 1 week... which is why i switched back to oem. The car sits for a max of 2 weeks at a time and no electricity supply to hook up a charger.

That is a serious car khooni ! Great job. I bought j hook adapters from braille too. I will keep car on charge when it takes longer than a weekend between starts then. Thanks for the tip.

BTW, all that hard work paid off today

First in class, third in overall behind a 458 Speciale and 991 GT3 !



Still couldn't adapt to AP's. It's harder than it sounds. I either brake too soon or too late. Gotta keep trying. Couldn't improve my best time on that track either although weather was a major factor. My best time came in a nice chilly November track day last year. May heat doesn't help.

Thanks Rob,

Visor sticker is handy as I don't like folding and unfolding the car's visor during the lap, it can get pretty intrusive.

Belated congrats Can :supz:
Excellent result considering the much newer & vastly more expensive competition :thumbs:
Cecil still track battle fit :smokin: 12 years on.

Apologies Can, should have read fully welded rear cage.

And yes Brett, us leek munchers don't worry about cages.

Anytime my friend, just let me know in advance and we can go on a ride with either the CSL or the E30

Thanks Matt,

She is still up there with the best of them and considering the minor gap between times I think Cesil is still the most go for buck !

No problem Roll bar or cage is a no go for me, at least for a while.
