This car was on eBay and in the description it said it's got cup racer suspension with custom made top mounts :).
Welcome jagerbomb nice motor you have there :).
Re: My aircon removal (clioproject beginning)
When do you think you'll know if these brackets are safe and able to get made by your friend's CNC?.
Reason i ask is my car's front end is stripped so would be a good time to do it, rather than fit it all back and then re-strip it all again.
Thanks
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
I wasn't thinking of changing the radiator, but come to think about it I dont see why I can't upgrade it and fit a slim line fan as I've been toying with the idea of fitting ITB's later on so more room to play with :).
I'll have to look into it and post back.
Re: My aircon removal (clioproject beginning)
Hi mate
I think you might be on to something with these custom mounts for removing the air con.
I'm defo interested in a kit if your going to make them can you pm me with prices and when your able to make them. I also want to lose my air con...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Well a busy weekend guys after having a few tasty things through the door this week.
1'st off was strip the front end and remove all the radiator's/pipes inc air con and placed on the side
next i fitted the oil cooler with braided hoses and thermostat plate...
Hi all
I'm thinking of fitting gauges to keep an eye on oil temp/oil pressure and possibly other things in my 182 track car and come across these bad boys with a lovely opening ceremony see vid...
Never filled this in so hope it's ok to put all my car's/bike
1) 182FF running on cup racer suspension (track/now and again drive when finished)
2) BMW E30 M3 (garage/show car)
3) Pug 306 Dturbo (work horse)
4) Suzuki gsxr1000 (Factory limited edition moto gp rep k8)
I would have two headlights, but one having no mainbeam and sidelight but still able to use dipped headlight's.
Sorry for all this petty argument you both might be right an the guy that told me was just giving me bulls**t information lol
That's what I thought, the reason i asked the stupid question coz i was told by some1 that there is no rule stating that a car should have two sidelights an two mainbeams but if they do they should work.
I also asked a few mot stations with them saying they don't know so thought I'd ask here...
After reading all these comments with no one asking.
I'm thinking of incorporating a CAF into my standard xenon headlight by getting rid of the main beam and sidelight only on the n/s. My question is would this fail a mot?
Cheers
M3 killer no chance check 1:37 he was left for dead and 2:38 the m3 was pulling away, I'd say the m3 driver isn't good on corners.
And do you know what bhp this thing is? If that m3 is a genuine btcc car they were pushing upto 350bhp if I'm mistaken.
Yes mate to look good crusing costs money so £400 a year tax is nothing.
Now you own a Beemer look into Bmw forum's as it's always handy, also might be lucky and find someone breaking there 330ci or maybe a M3 for the panels :).
Nice motor dude would look awesome with a black kidney grill :), but as most comment's shame about the colour off the interior, but each to there own.
If you where thinking off looking for a M3 next look for a GT E36 or get the E46 shape but pre 2001 (cheaper tax bracket) after 2001 there £400...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
I've now started the green theme to match the livery after a spray job.
As i'm still off work :), I ripped the front/back bumpers off and fitted the green trs tow straps.
Here's a pic front/rear notice the (si tow eye) It will be in the glove box as a back up.
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Thanks mate.
I bought the battery kit off clio1416 a member on here (cheers sam).
The reason why I'm getting rid off these are.
I'm going to fit the hole cup racer setup including hubs/ball joints so this would mean I have to get lengthened drive shafts...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
As I was out taking photos off the car I thought id also add a few to show the work that's been done already.
Here's some pics off the suspension also engine bay to show the cup racer strut brace.
Here's some pics to show the whiteline ARB/stainless exhaust and...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Cheers mate.
As said before i'll be modifying a few extra things to the cage or even change the hole thing, and look into other things.
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
I'm hoping to do the same but remove the n/s side light/main beam part and modify some kinda tube type into the headlight as a CAF,
When you chucked your headlight in the oven was the plastic all soft and start to deform? Im hoping that I don't deform the lense...
Re: 182 track weapon attempt
Cheers mate, What a great idea maybe look into this myself later on down the line :).
Oh Neil I've seen your project thread what are you doing to your inside off the headlights? What colour are they going mate?.
