System stripped, cleaned, refitted and realigned. All new titanium hardware includuding aerospace K nuts. Also fitted new all stainless Mikalor W4s clamps in place of the old Normas.
This should mean I’ll never have any kind of corrosion or fatigue concerns on the exhaust hardware again...
The OEM Topmounts have rubber in them to provide some “give” and reduce NVH in vehicle. As your suspension loads up in the corners through steering, this same rubber deflects slightly and allows a small amount of geometry change.
Fitting solid topmounts you remove and rubber so remove any...
Don’t bother, my GP was a huge disappointment. Absolute shitbox, hated it as I sold my Clio to buy it. Then modified the hell out of it to try and make it what I thought it should be.
Gave up after 18 months and bought my Cayman R. 2 years later I bought back my original inferno 182 which is...
Turbo 182s come up for sale all the time.
Either blag a drive of one, or buy one, run it for a bit and flog it on?
Could even buy a nice one with a load of bits on, put it partially back to stock or lower its spec, make some cash from the bits and still come out on top?
If you can run one...
I think the general response you’ll get is to buy the PMS items. Far and away the best quality and design out there at the price.
The ASTs and BCs offer camber/castor adjustment via an eccentric design using an offset bearing.
Not seen the BCs personally but was never that impressed with the...
So, suffering with a good number of the Corvid19 symptoms I’m feeling pretty useless.
However even when Ill I find myself suffering cabin fever and with a squillion jobs to do, decided to tinker with the car.
Can’t do much on the Clio till then hubs come back, but have a job on the Cayman I’ve...
Can’t see Michael painting his car any shade of pink/purple but it’s what’s easy to see on track lol.
personally any track car for me looks best in white.
Not that much more weight but around 1290kg and circa 350bhp.
worth investigating the Ti shims though. The CLs having copper backs will only compound the issue. Cooper has exceptionally high thermal conductivity so yes it pulls heat from the surface of the pad it piles all that heat into your...
I’m on the Porsche 4 pots front and rear with bigger 2 piece GiroDiscs.
these take the fronts to 345mm and rears to 335mm. RS29s, titanium shims and GT3 ducts complete the setup. They still get a solid work out on track even with cooling and ally uprights all round.
Might be worth seeing if you can get some titanium shims laser cut for the backs of the pads. We used these on the Porsche to prevent heat transfer to the calipers and fluid.
if you get some done, get a load done and sell some to fund your own. 🙂
I’m 37 this year and have absolutely no intentions of growing up... ever 😂
I’ll always own a modified car, I always have. In fact I think I’ve modified everything I own in one way or other. 😂
AMG and Audi too, they’re all at it.
It sounds absolutely s**t. Proper upshifts bangs created using a load cell and ignition cut is different gravy.
This oem engineered in crap they think we want is awful. ☹️.
