OK so back on these damn Kumho's, they turned out to be 17 years old FFS! So my advice is always check the DOT code when buying used tyres. Anyway they got skipped! So I now needed new rubber to replace them, found a pair of R888's on eBay and went with them. So up next was a dry but greasy...

Looking good @Fletcher I've recently had the 197 cams fitted with good results. Defo a worthwhile cheap mod if the belts need doing.

Track and road. Really easy mate, there's a how to on here somewhere. No special tools required.

Use SALE50 and these come in at £69. Used them on the 182 and they where fine for budgets. https://www.eurocarparts.com/basket

Should be OK as long as the offset of the wheels isn't to high. Could be worth refreshing the dampers at the same time if worn.

We don't speak the lingo buddy.

Cool story bro!

Does the actual temp of the coolant represent the temp gauge, is it boiling away in the header? And is it recirculating?

£104 a damper, save your money to a coilover fund.

My Corbeau Clubsport flexes as well, might go with the Futura as the drivers seat and bang the clubsport in the passenger.

Looks good and I know the Bimarco Futura gets good reviews , but at £163 delivered for a seat with head restraints, seems to good to be true! Anyone used one, sat in one, felt the quality etc? http://bimarco.eu/bimarco-bravo/27-bimarco-bravo-velour-seat.html Also on Ebay for £162 delivered...

Yeah I suppose, it's always there for future cars as well. How much are they? If cheap enough with good reviews take a punt.

No idea on a cheapo press, but you'd also need plates? Thing is how often would you use it, as the fronts only need a press as it's more cost effective to just replace the discs with bearings on the rear. For reference Ive just had a bearing pressed out and new one in for £20 from Gary Burnett...

Ive never boiled fluid on track even when using standard gear, I need to try harder!

It happens mate.

Change of user name required then from 182halfpenny to 182halfwit :tongueclosed:

Length/NM/Diameter on the rears so 50nm which is road spec. Seems this instructor needs to get a grip, lol.

Civic cup spec :cool:

My bad, damn internet conversion calculator, lol.

Is yours a dedicated track car Rich? I ask as 800lbs maybe a bit soft at the rear, I run 800lb (90nm) front and 1000lb (110nm) rear and its a great balance for track, no crazy oversteer and that's with a RARB.

Pretty much yeah. On the other end of the scale I've used Pagid dot 4 from ECP and found it as good as the Ate typ200.

Had the CL5's and they do need a bit of heat, and as James mentioned can crumble. Another pad Ive had is the Mintex M1155 and they were a better road pad as they bite cold, didn't crumble and didn't give much dust. Thing is they could be totally different in the 4 pots you have. Also had EBC...

Don't forget the more you shorten the OE dampers the less effective they will be at bump and rebound.

Looks fine!

Just having a look around for something and came across this below. Obviously it isn't going to be as accurate as Hunter or Supertraker equipment but if you can get close enough then for someone like myself who likes to make adjustments to suspension it will save a few quid over the year...

All the bloody hype as well with the MK3 RS, I bet Honda are laughing there t*ts off! Will be interesting to see the price of them once out of warranty! I'm betting they don't take the nose dive people are expecting.

The plastic type is used on my 182 FF. In the first link the part numbers are different with the plastic reading 5DD 008 319 10 and the metal type 5DD 008 319 50 so just cross reference what you have now and order the same part No.

Those Pirelli Trofeo R's weighed a whopping 9.5kg each, the Toyo RS1's 6.5kg.
