Hello Andrew

We did a Car limits day together a couple of year back along with a Elise and 993

How you been????

So your selling your beast eh???

Have you thought about taking off the modded parts and selling them separately????

If you do decide to put back to standard will you give me first refusal on the seats and harnesses?????

shame to hear your sale has fallen thru Andrew, good luck this time

it happened on track generally. Steering would lock, mid corner, preventing one from turning the wheel in order to make the corner.
by turning, and returning the wheel, I would be able to make the corner.

twice this happened, twice BMW replaced the pump + rack under warranty. after the 2nd time, I fitted a cooler, as the cause was the fluid was boiling.

If you've had problems with your power steering, I suggest you ask your BMW (assuming they did the work) to replace the entire system - if the pump fails, the rack will be ruined too, a it will have run dry.

good luck.

heya! that was a good day. - photos from the day here: http://photo.ing.me.uk/CarLimits-180107

have you still the CSL?

I'm aiming to sell it as one piece, I've spent tens of thousands making it into the ultimate track car, it would be a shame to undo that and put it back to standard again

it is exactly what happened yesterday at Le Mans it is the second time !! first time was at the ring, after loosing a hose connector
i had to return home without oil in the pump/rack (450 kms). it was okay after just replacing the hose. Maybe the pump is now out

so: big oil cooler for the engine and oil cooler for the steering....what a shame, i didn't realise the csl wasn't really reliable for trackdays.

so, good luck for your sell.....your car seems reliable, a good value for the new owner

Yes it was a good day and one i keep meaning to repeat.

Yes still have the CSL but it is far from standard now and is used on track as often as i'm in the UK.

What have you got lined up to replace your CSL?
