Greetings all,
like most of my builds I've done a build thread for so I thought it was about time to start one for my M3.
This was my second clio 182. I had the intention to race it in the tricolore series, but something else took my fancy..
converting a 172 cup standard f4r engine to a f4rt...
Hey guys, so moving on from my last track project - "track phase 182" Ive decided to do something Ive always wanted to do, which is put a 225 engine into a 1*2. This oportunity came about last weekend at Castle combe i took some chap out in my clio below, and he enjoyed it that much he made me...

Im interested in finding what other cars on this forum weight with a brief description on the obvious stuff: cage, windows, FG panels etc etc and to see if theres anything more I can loose before spending money on FG panels etc.
I'll start with mine. 899kg with 1/4 of fuel. (ignore the corner...
Hello, so I'm having problems finding a nut for the top of the rear damper.
This has been measured at m9x1.0 which is a standard nut that is sold in the UK it seems.
Cann anyone share some light at where i can get them from? AST direct?
Thanks.
So atm I'm just looking at buying another set of coilovers for the track car.
First things first i dont have the budget for Ast's unfortunately.
What I'm stuck between is Gaz golds or GHA's.
There is a price difference of around £250... golds being the more expensive.
The real reason i was...
Hello I'm looking at upping the rate of my springs on my gaz gha coilovers - standard rear platform.
Im looking at going for:
-450lb/78nm front
-500lb/90nm rear
is that about right for a standard rear platform being a 2:1 ratio or would i need a 250lb spring?
Hey guys, currently I'm wiring in my kill switch (it is the 4 terminal one) I have chosen to wire the kill switch onto the earth cable instead of the live.
I have heard of many motorsport companies doing this so theres no chance of anything touching it from behind and causing a fire etc etc and...
Does anybody know where i can get a set of these pads?
I literally cannot find them anywhere, and was wanting to try another set of pads compared to my ds3000s I'm running on my standard callipers.
So the s**t design of the 6 captive bolts (3 each side) have meant I had to cut 1 off.
I spoke to Ren parts direct to sort a replacement and they're very expensive.
What bolt can I use to replace them with? preferable with a head on top so a socket can be put on
Cheers.
Just bought this hydro for the track car and was wondering what the thread size is for the unions? as the standard unions I have that I bought for my 3/16 copper pipe doesn't fit.
Can anyone point me in the direction of what unions should fit? I am looking for unions that have a male thread...
As above, need to know the size as the thread is striped and i need to repair it.
i believe they're m10x1.0 but need a confirmation on this :)
Thanks in advanced
Any suggestions before I throw the cup brakes lines in the bin on my ph1 and make my own lines with bias valve
Rear brakes keep locking up, when it's on stands and someone has there foot on the brake I can spin the rear wheels with not much effort at all (i.e. low braking effort) which is good...
hellloow..
So recent events have forced me to part with my 182 (which can be seen below) lots of money has been poured into it as you can all understand, and is currently up for sale.
It recently underwent a bit of surgery due to a crunching 3rd gear and a dodgy starter motor, so I decided...
When dry steering or at slow speeds there is a knocking and creaking noise pretty continuously when turning lock to lock.
this generally only happens when the car is warm, and been driving for a while.
I'm pretty sure this is the steering rack, as it wasn't to bad, then changed the rack bushes...
So I recently replaced the gearbox and clutch in my 182, went to start it, and it wouldnt turnover.
I can turn the key once - dash lights come on, when I turn it to ignition point 2 nothing happens.
When I turn the ignition off, I can hear a click.
the battery is showing 12 volts, and I've...
So just came off the motorway, went to put it into 2nd and It woupdnt go in (if youll pardon the pun) it felt like a spring was pushing it away, and there was no 'notch' to go in?
Any help will be appreciated!
So currently i am running ktec coilovers (fitted by previous owner) I'm looking to get rid of them and was just wondering whats the best alternativesuspension set up/ or any advice you have for a non cup?
thanks in advance.
So first things things, i am a new member, hello! 19 from Newbury. While generally being on these threads quite a bit i thought it was time to become a member.
As the title suggests, i am the new owner of a BG Clio 182, 45k on the clock, which is pretty good for the age of the car.
