    Rear BC set up

    If you wind the damper in then you can achieve a lower ride height, although I can't imagine needing to go lower than what the BC springs can offer. Even with the 5mm spacer I wouldn't go any lower for the road.

    Rear BC set up

    Yes, this is to ensure the springs don't get dislodged on full droop. Bolt the dampers from the top, but leave the bottom bolts to begin with. Then fit the springs with beam fully lowered, then jack the beam up just enough so that the springs are firmly embedded inside the beam with no movement...

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    Bit of interior tarting: body-colour trim strips and cup holder fitted. The driver's sun visor courtesy lights weren't working as the positive wire had become detached, so that was soldered back on. A simple but satisfying fix. A 180-mile round-trip to visit the painters (and view an old...

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    Yes, no additional frames needed, just the side adaptors and OEM rails.

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    It's the extra weight of the frames that you need to get non-OEM seats to fit.

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    I'd owned WZD for six months before taking it out for a shakedown drive. I spent three months sorting out the front-end paint and PPF then it was garaged over winter. So I was looking forward to a sunny warm Sunday morning on the lanes. Nothing like a first proper drive in a new (to you)...

    I'll be popping by in the Inferno WZD. Prolly not stay too long though.

    Thanks for sharing. An evocative piece.

    16x6.5 wheels on a 182 cup?

    Pretty sure that a 6.5" rim ET40 would be 11.4mm further from the strut and stick out 1.3mm less than a standard 7J ET45 rim. So yes, it will fit. And 205 is ok on a 6.5" rim.

    197/200 Brembos on 182 with 280mm Discs

    Nothing wrong with OEM stopping power with decent pads, but having experienced the MC swap plus Brembos I would say the feel is night and day compared with OEM.

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    Thanks - msg'ed him on the Trophy forum a couple of weeks back. Hoping he still has some.

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    Been busy spending money on this car. Painted the bonnet, wings and mirrors and treated it to a front-end PPF. Although the Pole Positions were lovely things I found them uncomfortable, which prompted countless hours of researching various seat options. I must have read most of the threads on...

    Base-mounted seats with Jon Foz subframes - mounting belt buckle?

    Don't suppose anyone has figured out a solution that allows use of OEM pre-tensioners? I know Jon Foz's Recaro mounts allow this, but am wondering it can be done with his subframes as well.
