Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Lol only reason why ive got 17's cos off the brakes I couldn't fit my standard 16's as the callipers was touching the inner lip. The reason why I also went for these brake's coz they were £500 with new discs so convenient at the time. As to stripping the interior I...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
No ain't been on the track with the car as it aint got tax/insurance/mot but i had taken it to the petrol station 400 yards down the road to put fuel in and I was well pleased with the stiffness.
It's a shame that ive changed my plans as this is now going to...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
A quick update im now getting rid of my customised cup racer suspension that fits my cup packed hubs, And go all out and get the hole cup racer suspension which will include Hubs/ball joints and other bits and bobs but this will now mean i have to look into...
I've just been given a rough idea off how much these are going to cost thanks to Sam@BTM,
So i'm going to compromise on less grip for reliability off the car.
And go for 888's or other good track tyres.

Oh sh*t £400 a corner bloody hell I wasn't expecting them to be that much I was hoping for £200-£250,
I think I'll leave the idea of slick then and back to the drawing board.
Cheers
Didn't think about the heat cycles from a used tyre.
When you say go through the manufacture you mean phone Michelin/Dunlop direct?.
Are they expensive a corner and what size would I be looking at? I understand road tyre sizes from being a tyre fitter years ago but slicks baffle me lol
Cheers
I'm using customised cup racer suspension On my 182 so will be ok?. I've just spoken to nick172cup he said that with the suspension being so firm to get the most grip it might b worth looking into slicks.
I can't use 15" I've got 330mm 4pots.
Cheers

Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Hi nick after leaving the car running about half hour I gave it a few blips on the throttle to 4500rpm as you normally do and while the car was dropping revs it was poping like rally car :), it never done that with the standard manifold so im not sure what that...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt

Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Looks similar well I'm happy with it but this guy I bought it off is well known around here for buying top notch stuff for his cars so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. After Id taken my standard manifold off I measured the diameter off the pipes and...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
A quick update after coming up with the idea off getting a full stainless steel system Inc manifold i decided to sell my original. And wait till I get all the funds and take it to longlife, but a mate told me of another friend of his that bought sh*t hot stuff and...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
After a long hard think about how my car is going to look after I've had it sprayed i've changed my mind about the strips and gone something totally different and crazy so here you go a quick photoshop pic done by my mate.
This is not a perfect finish as I'll be...
