Well ok good thats one thing!
i'll see if I've got some old Renault dampers, as i tried the nuts off some aftermarket eBay adjustable dampers that came with my car and they dont fit on the ASTs.
Can you confirm its m9x1.0? you have ASTs no?
Or am i barking up the wrong tree and its an imperial measurement.
Oh are you saying they're the same size as renault fitment?
Hello, so I'm having problems finding a nut for the top of the rear damper.
This has been measured at m9x1.0 which is a standard nut that is sold in the UK it seems.
Cann anyone share some light at where i can get them from? AST direct?
Thanks.
So really not many updates at all again which is sad!
First of all the dash is all in now with the volt guage, kill switch, heated screen, ignition switch and push start button working perfectly.
Secondly, decided I wouldn't run the slam panel and made up a bracket to keep the radiator...
It's great fun bud! if you've got time and the space it's great. If you need any help look at my progress thread (actually it's not that indepth as I forget to take pics)
But yeah just holla if you need any help, as I have just finished re shelling my ph1 into my 182 :)
Good luck
Before you strip it wait till you have a go in mine! should be on the road before the new year hopefully!
and should have another seat in, otherwise you can see if you fit in the drivers seat haha.
Sorry yeah good point!
I just want to cross refer your wiring to mine haha.
Mine draws the current from the battery as the revs drop and the voltage drops also, but im yet to see if actually working (need a cold morning)
So basically reaching the end of things I can do with the 182 as I'm still awaiting engine mounts from that group buy and suspension.
So first things first, I've put a deposit down on am on set of 5100s ASTs
They're gorgeous, I canne wait to collect and fit them.
The suspension is the...
Looks great! Keep thinking that if my ph1 was still alive how similar our cars would be haha!
You don't fancy booking It onto bedford GT 27th febuary?!
hahha posted to soon, apologies.
Awesome stuff!
Very interested to see what you're gonna do with the column, as that's what's next on mine, as the orginal mounting points have been chopped off.
Glad you've had a good experience with Geordie! He's an awesome guy, got to know him very well over the passed year or so helping me out with my build left right and centre!
Did you see his 205 maxi there too?
I really like how you're gonna be designing your own! very cool indeed.
If that goes tits up, just to let you know - In my shell the gearstick is relocated 150mm futher back than standard.
I had a PMS kit originally and a quick phone call to Nick and he agreed to make me a longer linkage as...
It definitely isn't as black and white as that, not many people commented as to what would suit my situation best at all. It was all ASTs are the best, get them. Which they are and that's what I did. It's a bit of a backhanded point I'm making but hey [emoji16]
I know you're taking the piss...
Yep, I've been in contact with both the seller's for the past few days.
Gambos ones, are about 3k old, but arnt the correct pairing nor are the spring rates great for track unfortunately.
Mini182s are a perfect set with recent refurb and alright spring rates :)
Which I have just put a...
Well you guys had been in my conscience ever since this thread opened basically... And well, I've just put a deposit down on these.
Tbh I would of been very happy with the Gaz, but one thing led to another...
They're gorgeous.
Yeah this is them...
But now I'm basically in a conundrum of purchasing James 5100s for sale, which makes sense as they're both the same and have suitable springs...
