Cheers man It’s brutal stuff! Gives me hope it won’t come off the car though.. I had to attack my face with a scouring pad and pure alcohol to get a few spots off, wasn’t pleasant!

While the exhaust was off I decided to tidy the subframe in situ with some Por15 and some cavity wax in the right places. After a few hours of preparation and some new permanent tattoos on my arms from Por15, this is the outcome. I took my SPL titanium toe arms off to give them a bit of...

Thought I’d do a small update for any of you still reading this. The engine bay was cleaned; Spent a little time tidying the exhaust as well and got a little arty to try and show the curves of the back end Seeing as I’m a key worker I’ve been making the most of enjoying the drive to and...

I really should take more pictures of the front end.. Thought I’d do an oil change on it as it was 6 months ago and 5,000ish miles. This stuff looks like strawberry sauce.. but it’s made the V8 a lot smoother and I’m not entirely sure it’s a placebo either. Felt less lumpy on idle which is...

I can’t fathom how someone can drive a 172/182 and not get out of it smiling ear to ear. Smiles per mile... The best car on the used market.

Rear dampers are back from Nitron for the second time, “as new refurbishment” under warranty. treated them to some anti rust coating and I ceramic coated the springs, taking no chances this time!! Got time to fit the new undertray that was laser cut by my mate, half the price of the other...

Ahhh!! I almost bought this 182, the advert on eBay was utterly shocking. Glad it’s turned out well for you. Look forward to seeing more of it.

Enjoyed reading this, goes to show how butchered a car can get in the wrong hands. Glad you’ve rectified 95% of the issues and it looks fantastic now!

Weicher Motorsport cage, 18kg. For your daily.. 😂

Rollcage + finishing touches 80% complete. Rear seat false floor to make from my template. Rear dampers have been messed about by Nitron so they’ve been sent back today to be re done again. Im happy with the fitment, I’ve put most things back together. Got to try and shoehorn my...

A couple of fancy photos from an independent photographer at Snetterton. Cheaper and better than the TDO’s own offerings...

Had to send off the rear dampers back to Nitron for some warranty work, meant the entire rear of the car had to come apart. I decided to take the rear seatbelts out, all sound deadening and any extra bits that I didn’t want. When I initially fitted the Nitrons I was in a bit of a rush to...

Very happy for you! 😅

Have a look at wind tunnel testing on youtube, massive difference I felt. Front end wanted to dart everywhere. Rear wing made a lot of difference but I also lost 5mph on the back straight when I set it more aggressive. Could possibly shave another secondoff just by reducing the wing angle again...

Got told off early doors for my GoPro on my helmet, shouldn’t be a problem once the cage is in as it’ll be hardwired in there and vbox are releasing something new soon that looks promising for footage. Halfords wing and the canards are working perfectly, very happy with them.

Snetterton 300 1/3/20 Arrived early ish, weather was forecast as rain up until the night before the trackday so I didn’t think I’d get any use out of the slicks. Slicks on, Nitrons dialled up well beyond my Nurburgring settings and some testing happened. Had a great day out with some...

Should be able to last 6-8 weeks without even being ran. It’s the IBS system on the E92 that’s causing the issue. battery manufacturer has an E92 in for testing over the weekend so hopefully I get an answer. I’ve reverted back to standard battery for Snetterton.

It’s a slick tyre with pickup from track. correct!

Thought I’d give the car a good clean underneath, fit the canards, change the differential oil and test fit the track wheels with new nuts. Then a bit of a shocker with the new battery.. still troubleshooting as to why it’s happened but I have a good idea.

Yeah it’s a chunky unit! Got to crank a 4.0 V8. It’s the same size as most 6 pot diesel batteries! thanks for the comments guys. It’s pretty raw on the road now, but it makes it an event to drive. I’ll give feedback on the trackday but I’m hoping the changes are positive..

Yeah, that’s lovely. Definitely getting a Trophy one day.

Time for the new lightweight LiFePO4 battery weighing 3.5kg. Standard battery is 26/27kg so a massive saving. Re registered the new battery via Carly app, so it should work and recharge properly.

Old flywheel; New flywheel; 6.1kg without the new bolts. All fitted up with the new OEM clutch. First thoughts are it’s absolutely savage, loving the throttle response and frankly can’t think why they aren’t like this from factory! Heel and toe is taking some getting used to though...

Grippers are good diffs, the build is looking well! I personally prefer colour coded bump strips on the sides. Makes it more modern.

Haha, I’m not surprised. Bet they look epic on the wall! Should have just made it work!

Thanks man, I agree. The GTS looked alright on the road, this wing looks over the top. But on track it won’t look out of place Snetterton 1st March booked for a shake down for the Circuit days double ender at the Ring in April.

Always fancied a BMW art car like this.. Perhaps..

That’s the first thing my brother said too. Function over form! I thought the same too, just didn’t fit in with the rest of the car without a wing. The new wing adds substantial downforce which is needed for track work so I’m happy with it. I look forward to testing it out once it’s back and...

In comes the wang.. Better photos/photo shoot to come once I’ve cleaned it. Still a few things left to do to perfect the fitment, the boot locks 90% of the time on first closing the bootlid, the micro switch in the boot lock knows it’s shut now. Ive adjusted all the seals on the...
