Some race car prep underway soon as Mrs M is going racing, got a load of bits ordered - PMS a/c delete Another set of team dynamics wheels flat door cards some BTCC spec wire tow eyes (which are likely to be mandatory from next year) Some stiffer springs And on Monday I'm taking a trip to...

Production plus says standard inlet must remain, does that mean porting is allowed?

So my wife is doing her ARDS test next month with the intention of going racing this year. I'm a little stuck for which championship to prep the car for though. I'm thinking the 750 Motor Club Hot Hatch championship, there's not much in the way of competition by the looks of it, seems to be...

In the Ktec 182 series or in one of the others?

It won't be used on the road again now, maybe the odd track day but the intention is it's now going to be an actual race car.

I need some help... My wife is doing her ARDS test and (hopefully) getting her National B license in the next couple of months so I need to prepare the car for racing. At the moment, the springs are too soft on the front but I don't know what to go for! The rates on my Spax coilovers are...

Bought some reflectagold stuff from work and covered the airbox in it last night. Used a whole 15 foot roll and I need another to finish it! What a nightmare of a job it is too

You'd still need to get the centre bore and PCD altered as they're not a direct fit.

Can't remember his name, Ian something I think. In all honesty, I use them as a 4 point because I find the crotch strap a little bit annoying! We actually sent them back to TRS and had them converted to a 5 point because the way the 6 point is designed, it digs into your legs unless you have...

Not sure, had other stuff done too and it was bundled in on the price?

No more updates yet, waiting on new bells for the discs. Bought the car from Dunmow in Essex

I got some of the 3d printed ducts from ebay and then got some proper ducts made up, not just deflectors - joined the two together with some 76mm donkey d*ck flexi tubing. I'm yet to try them with temperature comparisons but they look good!

How much do all the new bits cost to rebuild a JC5130? I'm sick of mine whining and crunching 😧

I thought it would be, better safe than sorry though Thanks

I know it will have been asked before but I can't find definitive info using search... 182 Cup hubs are 60mm bolt spacing, are the cup pack cars the same? I need a hub to mock up my brake brackets, so I'm trying to widen my search...

have you done nothing since June Alex?

My 182 has currently got a Fabia splitter but it's looking a little worse for wear so I'm looking for a replacement. I'd like something of a similar design but maybe a little deeper, what are the options? I've searched, but the pics aren't working in the thread from 2009 :(

https://www.contracthireandleasing.com/car-leasing-companies/independent-brokers/uk-car-contracts/volkswagen/polo/65390890/ Is this real or a scam? Seems mega cheap

Polo GTI for £145 a month? that might be the option!

looks good in that colour

Well I was considering a Fiesta ST but having tried to get into the back of one it's impossible. I'm trying to future proof this if we plan to keep it long term. Just realised Kia do a C'eed GT... :-\ VW do a Polo GTI 5 door so that's an option

Needs to be a 5 door guys, so it's Clio200/220, Focus ST or.... I'm pretty sure that's it.

I was considering a Polo GTi but I think you pay a large premium for the brand. The Golf is a little bit big in reality.

And reading the reviews, the steering is awful (I'm talking about the brand new one...)

It's awful to look at though 😞

Is the gearbox different or is it just calibrated differently?

Again though, you can't get a 5 door Megane 265 and the 'best' new one is the GT.... :confused:

haha, the Focus has been discussed actually but it's a little too expensive. Focus ST is a contender but I didn't like the way it drove when I tried one, it had no grip at all.
