Just seen you on M3Cutters and thought "ooh I wonder if that's the same sir dave!" lol
Nice car that mate, I've got an E46 M3 Convertible SMG now. Had it for nearly 2 years.
Just curious, I sold my 172 cup (ITB's, OMP cage, etc.. etc..) about 2 years ago. Was wondering if anyone knows where it is now
Would love to see if it was finished or not
Id definitely keep the adjustor - had it set to 30/40% on track, but some sections of cadwell were too tight, and also found when the back end kicked out it was too hard to get opposite lock on - so added more.
It's definitely handy being able to set it to whatever suits the circuit most.
That won't work
The ebay box doesn't just allow you to alter the assistance level.
It fakes the speed sensor and angle sensor inputs that the EPAS ECU would normally get from the column
You see in a normal 1.2/1.4 it would give more assistance at slow speeds than high speeds - but because...
You could as it's just a 12v ignition feed that turns the EPAS Ecu on - but to be honest you don't need to as the control box from Ebay comes with an adjustor knob and turned totally down it's virtually off. And it's near impossible to turn the car lol
Also FYI it's not a pump - it's an ecu...
That thread seems to have got so long no-one can be bothered reading it anymore which is a shame
You need an epas column - available from 1.2 or 1.4 16v clios, the ecu and motor to match it (also recommend getting a key with it or asking them to remove the ignition barrel as you need the key...
Tbh the 3 and 3+ are overkill if it's for a track car - realistically how often do we use 120fps on track?
If it's for a skateboarder/surfer or some other action fun then I'd pay £300+ for one.
But for in a track car the very basic GoPro 3 or even a GoPro 2 would be fine - and they're under £200
Maybe if I'd got a quieter exhaust, and maybe if I'd replaced the buckets with recaros, and maybe if I'd stopped the dashboard rattling, and maybe fitted a stereo.... lol
But on the other hand I could have thrown £2-3k at doing all that and still not liked driving it on the road.
It was a...
Aye.. It was a hard decision but I owned the car for 4 years, and in the last 2 years done less than 6k in her
She's absolutely the best track car I've ever driven but I'm just at a place in my life where I want to do more 'ring trips and hang out with mates at weekends in the moors and go on...
