Electrics I didn’t cover but was just mindful not to soak them. Basically just exercise some common sense around them and you’ll be fine. Washer bottle I filled with bleach and hot water and left for a few hours. Got bottle brushes and wheel Woolies in there to try and scrub as much as I could...

Yes

Don’t get me wrong, I’m far from an expert on it. But mainly because I ran one in my car for 4 years after doing the big power build and it was flawless. This was in Syvecs early days but now they power many of the fastest tuner vehicles in the world. Not cheap, but a bargain compared to...

Just for me. Im feeling the love ❤️❤ Superb job on those lamps chap. 👍🏼

Use a Syvecs S6 and Im sure you could have a loom adapter made. Then it would be plug & play. I used to run Injector Dynamics ID1000s in my impreza and it started, idled and drove like a standard car. In fact due to the resolution of the calibration available it was better than a standard car...

Ever considered upgrading the ECU to a Syvecs and running a flex fuel sensor? You could run a mix of meth in tank and allow the ECU to control the calibration? Switchable maps on the fly, LC, ALS, Rolling ALS. Your options and flexibility with it are almost infinitely adaptable. Run active...

So, remember the roll centre hubs that looked like they had been at the bottom of Davy Jones Locker? Let me refresh your memory... Well after a heap of work, wire brushing, glass blasting etc. They arrived back from zinc coat this morning. Once built I think these have come out pretty tidy...

As for protecting areas from corrosion, check the products from Bilt Hamber. That’s what I use and have done for years. Deox gel - Heavy rust remover Hydrate 80 - Light rust converter Electrox - Very high zinc content anti corrosive primer. Dynax UB - Dark brown calcium wax underseal that...

Looking lovely mate. 👌🏼

Olly, I ordered the bottle you recommend mate. Thank you. 👍🏼

£14 delivered, can’t go wrong 😅👌🏼 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143382980506

Youre right with me my man 👌🏼 Already ordered a new bottle and a new Nissen rad so I’ll refresh the lot while I’m there. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what I have but makes sense to me to renew it all at the same time.

I’m loving the lockdowns impact on this thread. 😅👌🏼

These are 5100s so clearly I’ve got £700 bracket. 😂

Stainless ABS brackets arrived. Also arrived were the strut lower lock nuts from @Simon@ASTUK, thank you sir. 👌🏼 Brackets are pukka, but like many of these things, the supplied hardware was s**t. The only stainless M6x12 I had was a countersunk so had to add some panel washers. Quite possibly...

Lmao. Thanks for that 😂😂#mugged

Totally didn’t twig when you mentioned M10 before lol. If you want new clips, check these out. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192651322754

You’re doing such a beautiful job on this mate. So satisfying to watch. 😍

Guys, Can anyone confirm this is the correct radiator for my 182 FF? It states the part numbers match, but when I enter my registration it says “part not comparable” Can anyone confirm for me that this is correct...

Fair enough, best of luck 🙂

Yeah I’d get some grips on that if you can, if not just drill/cut it off. Replace with some M10 stainless hardware, penny washers and nylock nuts.

If you haven’t already, perhaps look at swapping to a LiFe04 battery. You’ll save more weight and cost less by time you factor in paint and fitting. Let’s be honest, composite parts are always shite quality and will look hideous on a daily.

Just caked my ASTs which are also inverted in ACF50 in that area

So, today’s cleaning job, the scuttle. I was keen to check the scuttle drains were nice and clear as this can cause trouble at a later date. I think looking at it, this was last done before I sold it in 2015 and hasn’t been done since. Wiper arms and scuttle panels removed and cleaned. Also...

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. I can’t wait to get it setup and start playing with it.

Beautiful car. Id also avoid gloss black. I’ve got gloss black Turinis on mine and they show every single mark, if you must go black, go satin black.

Well those under arches need a bloody good scrub anyway. But after today’s weather, I figured I’d do them another time. As mentioned, I’ve got a few other parts to go on so it will all be fresh and new under there anyway.

Hope so. I purchased them brand new so cost more than most 182s. Hopefully if I look after them the way I intend to, they should remain in good condition for a long time to come.

I don’t doubt it. 😂

So continuing to Carpé Diem thanks to the lockdown, I managed to crack on with another job I’ve been putting off due to time. I battled some crazy changeable weather today and fitted my AST 5100 dampers. These were fitted alongside PMS spherical bearing topmounts and matching brace. The drilled...
