    is 7 previous owners TOO many for a 182?

    No as long as the service history and condition is good.

    Buying track car and engine life

    Mine lasted 12 track days before it shat itself and slipped the timing, got it all fixed with uprated 197 cams and that lasted all of 300 miles before it snapped a valve destroying the engine in the process. Great cars when working properly and really do punch above there weight on track but I...

    Road legal track cars maybe a thing of the past... new mot rules

    Glad I don't have a road legal track car no more, sounds like its gonna be a right ball ache!

    I keep boiling brake fluid

    Could just be the callipers sticking slightly creating more heat. Also is your brake fluid header open without any insulation between the manifold as this creates massive heat soak. I've never once boiled even standard fluid on my 182 with all sorts of pads (DS2500, DS3000, DS1.11, CL5+, CL8...

    1*2 or 197 - £3,000 to spend at the very most

    Snapped belt on the way to having the belts done taking valves with it, then 300 miles later and near £1500 it dropped a valve seat in cylinder 3 so is now scrap!

    1*2 or 197 - £3,000 to spend at the very most

    If I did it would probably be a 197 and go full track spec.

    First trackday on BCs - starting settings

    As Sam mentions start in the middle and dial them in to conditions and personal preference. I prefered the rear stiffer than the front with AST's on 9kg front and 11kg rear and anti roll bar hooked up on soft, even ran like this in the wet on AD08R's without issue. I just used this page below...

    Track Day Tyres - 205/50/15

    Just bushes really, driveshaft’s will take more stress as will wheel bearings but no point using slicks without decent coilovers, stiff springs and at least -2 camber.

    Track Day Tyres - 205/50/15

    You cant beat the r888's for the price and wear rate, they also work in damp/light rain with no puddles and they can be had part worn for peanuts on eBay.

    New car for Castle Combe

    Very nice, albeit far too heavy for track but still capable non the less. It'll probably get through a set of tyres and brakes in a day if really pushing.

    anyone removed power steering altogether

    EPAS is definitely different on track due to it feeling more artificial, but with that you can adjust it to your personal preference of artificial and factor in its much more reliable then yes its better than HPAS. Do i personally like the feel of HPAS more, yes, is it quicker on track nope!

    Road legal track cars maybe a thing of the past... new mot rules

    Mine passed a few weeks ago with no airbags, rear cage, 1 x seat and harness, decat etc. Just find a friendly MOT place and throw them a score. I just have an agreement that if i got pulled on it from the fuzz that I'd say i fitted/removed said items after the MOT.

    Squeaky brakes

    Try getting rid of the retaining clips, add some copper grease to the end tabs and piston and go out and get them smoking so they fade, leave to cool overnight and they should be fine.

    Traction control, service, handbrake light

    If non cup packed chassis yes, if cup packed (60mm) then they are wider but the non cup rings do still work if you line them up directly underneath the sensor.

    Setting up Clio Height Recommendations

    Yeah mate f**k all the bolts off, the bumper still fits nicely without any bolts. I could just pull mine on and off without undoing anything. Much easier for track and maintenance.

    Setting up Clio Height Recommendations

    Not right now mate, but just bend the metal brackets right up and you'll be fine.
