I run all the above options and I've stripped the interior. Car is very capable on track until you decide you want to go faster and spend more.

He was probably too busy admiring the scenery and dodging bullets:smile:

Any of the above. I use cooksport springs, good value and will get you real close to your lowering target. Ride is worse though and I imagine the same applies to others.

Spend 50 notes on oil every 6 month. No dramas.

What's the plan with the anchors pal?

Recently switched from a 330bhp S3 to a standard 182 for mainly track purposes. No regrets whatsoever. If however it was going to be a daily with no track time, I wouldn't have switched.

1st one I've seen in a long time.

Private reg, looked a very tidy example.

The valver looks sharp with the silver, that's what I'd go for.:up:

I'm no mechanic but it sounds a bit like the exhaust manifold is damaged mate. Plenty of lads with good knowledge on here so you should have an answer soon.

I think some have done it that way and it would eliminate any reliability issues but non assisted steering even in a tiny Clio I think would be very hard work if you had to tackle any slow lock to lock manoeuvres.

As a few have confirmed I'm converting to EPAS in my mainly trackday car for 3 reasons: - Reliability (drive to and from tracks) - Adjustability, I'm led to believe you can almost turn all assistance off. - Weight saving/ space in eng Bay. Cheers

Thanks mate, I'll cut the dci tie rods and save the boots as there in decent nick. Cheers

Have you put the car on a diet? Made a big difference for me and it's cheap cheap?

Thanks mate. Mines a 182 non cup so I think the parts are very similar. Cheers

Thanks. I've just got the rack and was hoping it wasn't pissing down today so I could get under the car for comparison. You think you put 172 TRE's straight on your DCI rack? Cheers

Can anybody help with this? Cheers

Evening all, As above, I have 90% of the parts to convert my 182 including the dci rack, obviously a used part and the track rods and track rod ends look tired so my question is: Do OEM 182 track rods and track rod ends fit the DCI rack so I can do a simple refresh? Thanks in advance

That's basically my set up except I'm on cooksports with et 35 TD's. No rubbing, no issues. Looking at the clearance I would say there's room for the 30's, the 40's might give a more stock look.

Great track, great car :up:

No mate, I always have a 30 second cool down period when the kids bail out:tearsofjoy:

I'll give you 6 grand for it......😂 Awesome motor, keep it and like you said, enjoy it.

My rears look like that after the school run:sweatsmile:

Yeah the laser alignment should give you the best chance of even tyre wear on the road but obviously track abuse can wear outside/inside edges more and you've got to consider many circuits have far more left turns than right or vice versa. I never bother with pressures on my Trackdays but I...

If you're geometry and pressures are right then you've nothing to worry about. I run ns2r's and the strips of melted rubber are still flying off days after the trackday. Just enjoy and replace.

Hit the nail on the head with ya last sentence mate! As for the tyres, you will destroy them on circuit, if you're worried about uneven wear get a laser alignment done an make sure the pressures are correct. If the rubber is costing too much you can switch to 15in wheels which many members have...

Car back from the mechanic minus the aircon and plus new belts and dephaser. Pure motorsport delete kit bang on as expected. Seriously considered putting cams in but the funds weren't there and I've decided if I do anything to the engine power wise, I'll be adding boooost. Big thanks to the...

Car looks good lad. Might see you around, (Bradford man)

Tar attack Get out and walk!

Few bits arrived this week, belt kit and aircon delete. As the weather was so nice I decided to spend the day removing tar from behind the seats and the boot. Heat gun, chisel, tar remover, brake cleaner, rags and elbow grease. You know the score! Just not sure what colour to paint the interior...
