No I lied, ofcourse I have you plum. If you read its just really for show, I've got the sachs to send off for a health check and when they return I will use the sachs when I want to rag it around a backroad, which really wont be happening this year
For the haters
My trophy on Gaz coilovers and brand new anthracite 2118's and hankook rs2 tyres
Just a little comparison, I love them both though
Anyway I like it, when I want some fun I will put the sachs back on it but thats it, atm its all about the show :)
Re: Austin-182 progress thread (2 years late)
get some camber bolts and a full allignment done on it mate to stop these new tyres getting burnt out on outer tread due to your postivie camber
For comparison 30-110 there will be nothing in it, after that the mini will have a very very slight edge. I had a play on with a 172 ph1 and won and also kevs healthy 182
Sorry sweetheart but when we went side by side in my mini vs your very healthy 182 I remember pulling away from you in 5th and I had an extra passenger.
I know which one I'd rather have and it wouldn't be the 182 unless a trophy
Ofcourse it is, its blatently obvious, look at his finger movements etc and the speed the passengers arm flings up in the air when he nearly stuffs it.
Mate I reckon yours would look mint with those wheels jamie winter has on his white clio 172. I didnt have time on my side when it came to deciding on the wheels as I needed the car back on the ground to move it about.
Also what swayed me was the ability to still get the Hankook RS2 tyres in...
I had my Btb stealth with de-cat and that wasn't loud either, sounded awesome and the build quality was lovely. Top marks always, if only they reduced the price of 182 systems
Time to upset the purists.....I feel the shame already :)
Got them for a good price and can't complain.....going very very low because I can
All my bits and bobs together waiting to be fitted.....I'm excited now
Waiting to be attacked....and live again
And before you all twist on I'm...
Wouldn't really say I've ruined a trophy like lol when I get bored of the lows I will switch bk to the sachs.
As for the engine: it was fitted perfectly fine funnily enough
You're correct. My mate has them on his and they've been fine. I'm just going to put It very low then for the brief 3-4 weeks of sun we get a year I will switch over to the sachs and enjoy them. I need to save up to get the sachs refurbed and unpinned but the engine is going to cost £1000+ to...
Re: Project 172k Trophy, & its endless track abuse
I know it's a trek but I've been looking for a good place to set up the trophy for ages, got my rs2's on soon with the 2118s and have my camber bolts still to fit.
What sort of cash did you pay for the allignment mate?
Custom remap
Matched inlets
Good air filter
Exhaust
De-cat
make sure its been serviced with propper parts and the timing is right and you may be somewhere in the region of 175-180
so a little update time I guess :)
Came home to these one night......nom nom
Had much consideration for these and they were actually a second choice.....I feel like a sheep now even though this is my second set of 2118's
Trial flight
I've also got these tyres to go on, brand new from...
It looks very well as always, but nothing seems to have changed in the looks department for the last year or so, are you not getting a bit bored of it?
I've seen some of the styles you like and think you could easily employ some of that on the RB as the white turini crack is just getting...
Ah ok, I was speaking with someone who said the less auxillaries on the engine the more power they tend to make....probably meant power steering etc as well
Being weighing this one up for a while now. I never use my air con and from what I hear its just dead weight being carried around.
To the people who have removed it has it made much of a difference in performance and power output?
Cheers
