@Adam G I'm liking the sound of it and have kept the weekend free to go down and see the last race. I looked on their facebook at the last race results and it looked like only one Class E (Production) in the race, is this typical? Although part of it is the race it'd be good to be able to work...
@Adam G I coincidentally started reading this this morning and got up to about page 5 before I was told I had to get out of bed, you'd recommend the Tri Trophy then (Prod class)?
Yeah that'd be really helpful thanks, I might go down myself as it's just over 2 hours away but I cant make the 182 finale at rockingham
I looked in to travel times from leeds and the 182 Cup is 10 hours less driving time than the Tri Trophy, which is a lot but I'm not ruling out the Tri Trophy...
cheers @Adam G so there's a 4th option which is the CTCRC Pre 05, I'll look in to that. I'm not interested in buying ur car as I have one, but if you have a thread which shows it, I'd be keen to take a look.
Hi
I'm looking to go racing next year with my clio 182 and looking for some advice on which series is going to be best for me.
Here's my thread for my motor, there's been a bit of work already done to it but I expect I'll need to do a lot more...
A couple of updates...
Dog bone bushes going in, should stop it jumping out of 3rd on braking now
Head light cleared up...not completely happy with it yet but massive improvement (see above) and it'll do for donington on Monday.
Just one more thing, we're all petrolheads here so I thought I'd share my day to day car.
over 300 bhp, twin turbo straight six petrol she's a little beauty, we're driving her down to italy around tuscany in a couple of weeks and I cannot wait for that and the drive through the alps.
Two...
And finally for tonight, another bit of good news, a new addition to my family of vehicles.....behold!!!
The time taken to pick up a trailer the day before and return it the next evening after a full day really makes it a lot of effort, I got this beauty for £450 and think I'll break even...
Hey everyone
Time for an update of where we are with the track car, first the good news, track day booked at Donnington 29th August, massively looking forward to tanking around a full GP circuit but all the more important to have the roll cage in place given the higher speeds of here over Blyton...
@Ads29 yeah you're not mistaken, was hoping you'd have a solution but it seems the roll cage I've got doesn't easily support the 10 degrees ideal. Obviously a bar could just be welded across but I want this to be legal for the 182 series and this is a FIA approved K-tec roll cage so I'm not sure...
@imprezaworks Here's the regulation that I believe tells me the dog bone replacement is fine....
1. Modifications Permitted:
1.1 The replacement of valves, valve guides and valve seats with parts of standard pattern and material is permitted.
1.2 The replacement of engine mountings, upper...
@Ads29 Thanks for the comment, you know I did plan to return the harnesses to the floor as the original picture above shows but as we're installing the roll cage this weekend then I'd appreciate your input as we could plan it differently.
So seeing the cage in the picture above, where would you...
hey, did you just say you can get top mounts for £40, if so I'd be interested. I want to keep it in rules for the 182 series, not read all the rules yet so dont know whether this is an issue or not. @imprezaworks, really appreciate your input
hey man yeah you're right I see them, just saying a couple of pics of the car and no close ups of parts, just wanna see what you're doing with the full thing thats all. not a criticism just want to see more of what ur up to.
A few jobs going on with it at the moment
New bushes for the dog bone
Fitting a full roll cage, you'll see i've knocked away the sound deadening strips in the corners ready for some strengthening plates, need to clean up that area more ready for welding
and finally one-eyed-willy has...
Had my first track day at blyton park in June and it's a lot of fun, the setup is good although the back end drifts a little but that just makes it more fun. One thing that didnt work so well was it jumps out of third on braking, asking around on the day and everyone said it's the engine mounts...
Hello
Here's my 182 track car purchased earlier this year, it's not road legal and all of the work done to date was done by the previous owners and so far its a good job.
