So after a good run at the weekend at Santa Pod, the car has decided to stop playing happy families and recover truck was called this morning. It wont start and wont tick over just "clunks" then locks. Think its possibly the starter motor thats gone. It has also developed a gear crunch from 2-3...
Dont worry coolant now all topped up :)
My filter - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390629059729
Pipe - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331657036706
The pipe came within a few days.
Managed to get the "Fatty" induction setup done this weekend. Great setup and well worth the pennies! also fitted some neochrome washers which make it look bit nicer :)
Next up is handling. Need to get an ARB and strut brace
My xenon bulb blew this morning and I need to change it but have no ideas which brand to get. I was looking at ARC-8 from HIDS4U but until now I havent heard of them.
I just want a standard replacement bulb, nothing fancy or expensive.
It has a neck. So in essence I need two number 70mm dia ally joiners and that will fit perfect to the existing plastic intake hose that goes into the engine and then one that then goes into the new filter
Guys I have really struggled to get the kit to fit. I went for a 70mm silicone hose rather than the solid one Fatty uses and the hose just won't fit to the existing bend and to the ramair filter. Has anyone experienced this issue?
With the help of a friend. It was pretty easy and I was advised to remove all the rear trim but we actually didnt need to as it fitted straight past the speakers.
Thanks Sam but I prefer the Turinis, the F1 feel too heavy and the car doesnt appear to handle as well. Need to get some new track tyres for the Turinis
Finally finished the car ready for Abingdon next week so took some pics of the finished product! So jobs done:
Install rollcage
Fit Evo 6 Recaros with RRS 4 point harnesses
Swap the Turini's over for the F1's (only due to no thread on the RSR tyres :( )
Fastchip 98Ron remap
1kg fire extinguisher...
Do you have any pics? I know the bolts closet to the doors go back into the original fitting however its the centre ones im struggling to see how they work. I have seen some threads that say use the seat rails as a fixing point
Hi,
I have purchased a pair of 4 point harnesses to fit in my 182 and I was wondering if anyone has a guide on how to fit the lap belts? I am intending on wrapping the shoulder belts to the roll cage but I have no idea on where to mount the laps.
Anyone got any advice/guide and what extra bits...
So I managed to get some used Evo 6 seats which are like new and a used roll cage so last night and today was spent ripping out the old interior and putting the new seats and lining the cage up. Really pleased with the seats they are amazing, so comfy and feel so secure in them. Tomorrow I need...
Sprayed the badges tonight. Went for a dark metallic silver which was meant to match the dark anthracite wheels but came out too light!
Yes the exhaust is great. It's a decat system, not silly loud has a nice burble to it. You should get one for sure!
Yea it took a few trips to find the perfect one and i went all the way to Chippenham to pick it up but really pleased. Its got a few minor issues which will be sorted out but hopefully it will be ready for some track sessions by the end of the month.
I have had a busy few days getting the car to how I want it. On order is the following:
RSTuner with 98RON calibration
OZ F1 alloys for the road. Will use the Turini's for track days
Roll Cage
Evo 6 Recaros
I have also just had fitted the Yanoo stiff shift which has made a massive improvement...
