Well I thought that I would update this thread even though CSL Register looks to be evry quiet.
The rain came along with thunder and lightning on the Friday night and so the concert was washed out early. The next day the track did not open until 1030 due to the fog which I did not mind due to being knackered from the drive over and the working week. Hot sunny weather was seen on both Saturday and Sunday.
Over 150 cars were out on the Saturday so it was plenty busy and whacky races ensued. There were of course plenty of 'enthusiastic' offs which caused closures but I still managed seven laps. Sunday saw only 90 or so cars out and obviously a quiet afternoon as many were heading home.
There were plenty of e46 M3 there and one other Polish CSL. There was also a 'looky likey' CSL with front and rear parts and a CF airbox which had been fettled and repaired by Schirmer. Apparently the upper front offside suspension mount had cracked and needed repairing and reinforcing. I think he said he was running with Nitrons. I cannot say I have heard of any failures here.
Anyway he was from Mark's part of the world (more specifically Aberdeen although now residing in Edinburgh) and had stripped out the interior and had a full cage put in. He seemed to know what he was doing on track and was staying for DN18 (?).
My only downside to the trip was starting the car up on the Saturday morning. Once mobile the gear selector would not go down to 2 or 1 and remained in 3
. I drove down to Adeneur and decided I would disconnect the the battery in the hope of a 'system reset' and then remembered I would need to borrow a 10mm spanner as there is no tool kit in the CSL.
Well I left the car at the off licence by the petrol station and walked into town and on returning to the car and starting her the gears were changing as up and down as normal.
Has anyone else ever had this problem?? All I can think is that the heavy rain (she is normally garaged) and lightning may have effected the electrics.
