Martin, I am certain a shorter shaft will do more harm. If we call your shaft mounting point at the box Point A, and the hub mounting point for the shaft Point B... As factory, the shaft sits almost straight and level, with extreme lowering such as you have, you have changed the level between...

run the same wheels with that offset, pretty low on AST's after being corner weighted. no rubbing issues atall

My old AST's, one had the lower bush come loose. I sent them back to have new bushes, and it took 6 weeks to get them back. Id like to think another manufacturer may be able to help out.

Good stuff dude

Getting there Martin, slowly bringing it up to date ;)

I'm pretty damn certain yours were specced/ordered as the 'track day' variant Martin.

Are the wheels on yet James?

That's why I'm asking

What's a 182 gearbox worth, all in perfect working order with no known faults or issues? Cheers.

I picked up a spare box and a few bits from this guy for a mate earlier in the year, and during the small talk he opened up the garage to show me around the car, it was a work of art and everything was done really well, almost with a no expense spared feel to it. i know JKM have helped him...

No question if you are in that neck of the woods, it would have to be Dan without a shadow of a doubt.

After a rough beginning/mid part of the year the trophy took a back seat but slowly coming back together again, it's been a long time coming :( Banana man is helping to project manage the cause ;)

I'm also running these mounts, although I cannot comment on what they feel like in use... As yet.

At that price, just go for the PMS kit anyhow.

Surely if you are wanting this for an actual race car, you wouldn't want it with only the rear silencer due to the extreme noise levels it would produce and the strict noise restrictions most of the UK tracks have.

LOL, is that what they are then Chip.

I'm hazarding a guess that Ktec only sell that mount as part of a kit, probably within a ITB setup as I cannot find that mount on their website.

I'm sure I'll sort something Dan, I was just hoping I'd missed something obvious and was offering up the mounting plate wrongly.

Damn it, that's not handy :(

Would I be correct in thinking the coil pack mounting bracket that goes with the RS2 inlet is different between the 172 and 182 engine? i only ask as I can not for the life of me get all of the brackets holes to line with anything on the engine, (182 Trophy for reference!)

I'll have to do it in a few days now Dan, and come back to you. cheers ;)

No worries Neil. when you say three time Fred, is that undo them and retighten to the correct setting three times, to allow them to stretch slightly?

You can buy a lot better than Parada's, I think they are an awful choice for a track tyre. as for the T1R, they arnt a track based tyre either. maybe look at intermediate slicks, something along the lines of a 888.

No worries mate

Phase1sr, I have no idea on the part number, they were in a small sealed bag in with the flywheel when I got it. Dan, nice one brother ;)

I have, many times incase I had missed it, but with no luck hence my question!!

Would anyone happen to know what the torque setting should be for ARP flywheel bolts, if it makes any difference this is also with a Billet flywheel. i know standard is 55nm, but it would be nice to confirm what they should be before I bolt the box up to the engine. cheers :)

This is handy to know Sonny.

I hit 40 next month and still have a trophy as a cheap track car, no harm in it atall.

It doesn't worry me chip, not in the slightest.
