Engine Dynamics reckon their regrind kit does 210bhp. Jokers.
All in (parts, fitting and mapping) your looking at around £1600.00
Cams will often relocate torque from one region of the powerband to another.
The FBW sensor is above the pedal, so it would need to be relocated elsewhere to work with the new pedal position - it would be a massive PITA for the result matey.
Nothings impossible, however the floor pan is not well suited to it & a decent AP or the likes pedal kit is not cheap. You've also got FBW that would possibly need to be converted to cable in order for most systems to work.
Attached in a different sort of way, it's already got a 6 inch gash to the paint on the passengers door were my missus dropped a ladder against it. Polishing, washing etc - pfftt.
See you point Fred, however it's on a 102k so worth peanuts.
I know the engine & car in terms of reliability / service history and know it's a strong engine.
+ I'm attached to it :o
We stock the Pure Motorsport Kits as of last week. It implements the original alternator, a 4pk belt and a set of lovely lightened pulleys.
I'll stick the pics up next week once it's fitted!
The kits have two very different deliveries, namely the RS2 stock prolongs the torque high into the RPM band, were as the RS2 Xtra tends to drop off earlier - we'll see :)
I've chosen it over an offer from Cranfield, they are both very similar in the rankings etc, both run the formula student etc.
I studied Ind Design & Engineering at Brunel and still use all of the facilities there for various work - so it make sense to stay :)
Undecided at the moment, the...
I'd say they have either seized due to the above reason ^
... or you've had a fluid leak around the hot braking components = lots of smoke and loss of pedal feel / excess travel.
After 3 years of road car use my own 182 is finally going to be taken off the road and be converted into a fully fledged Blue Book standard race car, it will then be entered into some amateur championships for my first taste of competitive driving.
I'll be back at Brunel Unversity in a years...
