No there not genuine as you can't get the genuine one's anymore (stopped production back in late 2007 i think)
However these are based on the cup racer one's but sadly i couldn't copy the original design due to copy right laws so i had to change the design slightly to stop them from suing...
Another bonus to keep them on the car is that they actually do something, unlike some stupid things that people put on cars just to make it look good (me being one with flashy coloured hoses lol). Always handy if your ever racing with someone else track of cause ;) as it saves warping your discs...
The problem with doing this your not getting the maximum air possible to hit your brakes (due to the curve of the bumper), that's the reason these stick out on the end to stop the excess air from escaping and forcing the air into the brake duct.
Striped bandit me personally i like it and i'm...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
I know it was for a 205 rally car custom built jobbie, my mate had it but sold the car so he asked if I wanted it for £20 so i snapped his hand off lol, not sure if it will be any good as there's no baffles so i'd have to buy 4 motorbike baffles to fit in the 2...

Hi all
Anybody know what this thing is called? Can it be removed and bin the hole thing including pipes or whatever, is it a component that helps the engine run?.
The reason i'm asking as i'll be fitting brake ducts to my car and this is kinda in the way slightly.
Any help would be...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Your going to Germany :) while your over there are you going to nurburgring by any chance?. If so I'm very jelous as all my mates i went with last year pulled out because there cars ain't nowhere near finished :( so it will be next year now.
You've been very lucky...
I can't see changing the rear shock's over will cure the problem sadly as it only follows the front end. However it prob solve the sitting down low under hard acceleration.
As to previous stuff you asked did the car go for geometry setup with the old suspension? If so they might of adjusted the...
Right then dude a arb wouldn't affect the car's front end, prada's got a marking on the tyre to say it should be mounted on the wheel outside/inside but this also wouldn't affect it.
1st jack your car's front end up grab the bottom and top of the wheel and check (pull/push) for play also grab...

Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Did you smear bit of oil on the seal before fitting/doing it up?,
I made sure it was done up FT and run it for 2 hours on tick over checking for leaks and what not, only leak I had was from the stupid 1/8 npt thread on another pressure plate that i can tap in for...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
^ ok fair comment but how many months/years did it take and cost to build if you don't mind me asking?,
All these mods and fancy looking stuff that don't do nothing have cost me just shy of 5k all ready and the car is pretty much ready to use on the road as it's...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
No there's no difference to a bolt in cage to a weld in apart from the extra work involved in fitting it i.e strip the hole car to a complete shell so it can be welded in on turrets.
There main job is the same as long as it's plated under neath the chassis then...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Thanks all for your valid inputs above :), I swear some people have no concept in modifying or putting personal touches to there car's so it stands out from every other.
If I want to spend thousands on parts that's no diffrent to stock apart from looks i will it's...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Ok from someone that's done it in the past then, did people ever comment that your car looked good when it was finished? If so then that's all the pleasure in doing these things so it's different to a normal car and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Ok as a track...
