I'm a Sheep... but it's not my fault...
 
I've been looking for a while at getting either a 996TT or a CSL. Both are cracking cars in their own right and both seem to be solid purchases, not really being affected by depreciation (at the moment). I would have loved a GT3 but they're out of reach now. :bigcry:


I couldn't resist any longer trying an E46 M3 though. ;)


I've been looking for a while and obviously reading with interest the very many of them on here.


Anyway out of the blue someone dropped me a line saying they were selling their SG CSL and would I be interested.


2003, Build Nr 406 so one of the later ones (registered end December 2013);
67k miles;
Armourfend to the front, and rear arches;
Hayward & Scott rear box;
New Pilot Sport Cups;
New MoT;
Just had Insp 2;
Newly refurbished F&R brakes with new braided lines and new Red Stuff pads;
Newly refurbished rims;
Tracker fitted;
Boot/Subframe strengthened;
All Vanos checked along with Valves and Crank and all good;




Got to say the exhaust note is absolutely mind-blowing and screams like a stabbed rat above 6k. It's a very cerebral experience.



Plans are to re-cover the steering wheel and simply enjoy it. :supz:

Congrats! Sport on, windows down :)

Just realised I hadn't mentioned the fact the car was bought off sjb here. A gent and a pleasure to deal with.

Car came with a stack of old magazines featuring the CSL from 2003/2004, and a car coveras well!

Saw the camper van he has too which looked lovely...

Upgrading your csl is very therapeutic.....and mildly addictive;)

Stumpy 20-07-2014 09:57 PM

I'm not shy of modding having come from (B5) RS4's and S4 track cars, both over 500bhp, but £2500 for brakes is too steep...
:bigcry:
