Wanted to run my 19 inch csl rims to see how much different the two cars are, my cups were f*cked to begin with and they didn't like the heat on Monday.

Track felt slower than a few weeks ago, heres a video of the old girl using my bullet cam, was doing 2.46/2.47 all day but couldn't hook up a virtual best of 2.44
Good work Billy How you got away alive with that "lets go out for the day in the Track Slag M3 dear" I'll never know

I'd be interested now to see if your M3 time is better than CSL time at Snett. The cars must now be about same power/weight, same suspension, cups.

Not yet it isn't, it just doesn't handle the same, steering rack maybe, stiffer bushes and square set up, as per the video I was wrestling with the steering but was on 19inch rims, the Csl is complete out of the box, then intrax and bbk finishes it off.

This thing is stripped and doesn't have it, it's good but not like letting a Csl loose on track.

Going to run square set up next and see, I think I could do 2.12 at snett really going for it but miles off that big 2.10!!!!

Fucking mega times shimmy at Bedford and snetterton, really good bench mark and anyone that can get near them is a very good driver.

Going to make sure I get tuition from mike wilds at Bedford and snett

Cheers Billy....all it was esp at Snett was crossing the line between driving hard under control and then getting the car out of shape and driving harder

It's not about treating it harder it's just having the car loose under you. I can't do it out of the box but it does come back to me when in the groove,

I think he square set up isnt any quicker (maybe a tiny bit on the brakes) but it suits us novice drivers as it stops the understeer for us, whereas a pro driver or some one who has mastered the technique can get the car turned without overheating the fronts.ONeill can drive the OeM sizes quick.

The m3s heavy up front, with some more weight removed im sure turn in will be improved as the 328 turns in better.

Not done snett for well over a year in a m3 so will get one booked in the next couple of months. Would be good to go back to see how I have improved.

I'll let you and Barry know some dates. Ill see if I can get funkster out also.

Got mine back today after a few weeks at Elms for some free storage and a loan of a X1, 430, M5 and 525MSport.

A little bit of warranty work done thata Gareth found before he left and Emma and Dan kindly sorted in the usual kind, efficient and thoughtful way. Many thanks to them.

So CSL goes back in the garage and I'll have to drive my own car to work now
