thanks for the recommendation on the konigsports. Regarding the other expenditure, with the exception of the JMS stuff and the caliper paint ;) a lot of it is required given: maintenance needs; and previous experience I have had of track days
Cheers, Matt
mine is also f**ked. from what i have read it cannot fail, only sound like a diesel for ever more. i have done c.20k miles trouble free (famous last words) on it at present and will get it changed when the car is due its next belt change, but not before - unless it goes bang that is, ha!
So I thought I'd start this thread to document the progress of Project Minstrel.
Firstly the name. I am not particularly mechanically minded and a friend of mine is going to fit all the bits when they arrive in one foul swoop, which will hopefully be this weekend. However I had a day today...
I have tried a search on this and although there is lots of related comment I don't think this has been answered before
I have the 60mm suspension bolt spacing unfortunately and am weighing up the - limited - options available to me.
I don't want:
- Vmaxx / ktec etc due to their softness...
I noticed this yesterday:
It is the bracket that holds the ECU to something but obviously it is broken. Is this common? Is it possible to get a replacement part, and if so what is the number?
Cheers, Matt
This is my front disc, do I need to buy new ones?
- slight (c.1mm) lip
- some black marks on the face of the disc, but they don't look like cracks
- rusty on the top
Cheers,
Matt
Hi guys,
I whipped my anthracite wheel off yesterday in order to measure the suspension bolt spacing. I set the gauge to 60mm, and this was the result:
Somebody please tell me I have measured it incorrectly?! I really wanted the bilstein kit but it now looks like I'm going to have to...
I have a 182 and want to order some coilovers for it. I don't know what standard suspension is fitted to the car, and unfortunately I cannot pop outside and measure the bolt spacing as I am 6,000 miles away in Johannesburg!
Is there any way somebody could check based upon the registration...
do the bilsteins have adjustable damping? do I need adjustable damping?! I will be using the car primarily on track.
Who supplies the bilsteins for top dowwah that aren't 'tards?
I have a piper exhaust and sports cat fitted to my 182. I want to replace the sports cat with a de-cat. What de-cats will fit this system?
Thanks very much.
I have the following seat available: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280628714089&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_1024wt_192
Would be happy to do a swap, with cash your way, for another decent seat in black / coilovers / track tyres / other nice stuff!
Cheers, Matt
Hello,
Does Cliosport get any discount from SL Corse? I have been quoted 132quid per corner for 7x15 ET43 2118s in anthracite. Is this not a bit expensive?!
Any money saving tips greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Matt
thanks a lot for the advice everyone.
many power tools, a nice vice, and a lot of swearing later I sorted it out! impressed with the outcome too. the car feels far more 'solid' when going hard through the gears and the slight vibration on the idle makes me think im driving a race car :clown:
im trying to fit my dogbone mount bushes as I type, but im pretty confused.
How do i get the original bushes out of the metal?
please help, only 30mins of daylight left!!
