    Budget-ish Tyres?

    I had the effecientgrip performance on my old heavy remapped S60 D5 and they where great, bit soft but so are the f1's and they worn well.

    Head gasket change

    Of topic slightly here but can you just drop a 172 engine into a 182 and change the header and remap for the extra 10hp?

    Budget-ish Tyres?

    I had a very bad experience with f1's from blackcircles where they fell apart on the outer edge after 2k miles of normal road driving, got replacements after a lot of toing and froing with blackcircles/Goodyear and the replacements where also naff (same manufacturing date) so binned them after...

    Track seats for the bigger chap?

    They look ace but not sure his arse will fit. Is there any flex to squeeze in or are they fully rigid?

    Track seats for the bigger chap?

    Ok so I've got the 182 as a road legal track car and my mate who pretty much drives it half the time on track anyway wants to throw in and go half on the car so shared ownership, makes sense instead of me paying for it and it'll give me £800 back (half the purchase price) and then 50/50 on...

    Fiesta ST love

    Looks fun, presume the over-steer is for the passenger fun factor?

    Clio 182 Z20LET 2.0T Conversion

    Looks brilliant mate, hat off to you. What fabrication is needed in something like this?

    172 dropping brake fluid?

    Mines used mate. Didn't realise they where that cheap, best get a new one bud for £20, new seals then.

    172 dropping brake fluid?

    I'd say so mate yeah, could pull the res if you just want that though £10 + delivery.

    172 dropping brake fluid?

    I've got a spare res and master (2 hole abs system) if you want them, £20 + delivery.

    Bump and Rebound? Explained!?

    Its just a fancy way of saying how a damper compresses and extends. This is adjustable on coilovers to suit different road/track surfaces.

    Passenger drive shaft question

    Interesting this is my Mondeo shakes above 50-60 and I can feel a click through the wheel when setting off, watching this with interest as its been suggested it could be my driveshaft(s).

    Brembo Disk Help (Scored disc pics).

    OE brembo discs and pads are no different to Pagid IMO, in fact I'd say the OE Pagid are better, if it where me I'd keep the discs unless they have a good lip on them and throw some Ferodo premier pads in there. Probably cost you £20. I scored my HC discs recently and where much, much worse that...

    Pulling to the left

    That rear tow wont be helping mate, my mondeo pulls left and the tracking is fine. Think mine is the steering rack as i get wheel wobble above 50 and the steering wanders. Had everything checked and re-checked, new tyres and swapped the wheels around to no avail, bugs the shite out of me.

    Daily tyre recommendations with wet track use

    Scary aren't they, I'd say anything less than 2-3mm and they feel plastic. I remember first fitting them to my old 6MPS and going out in the damp on the road to test for Oulton the following week, first roundabout had me all-wheel power sliding nearly onto a grass verge, they had around 2mm on...

    Daily tyre recommendations with wet track use

    The RS3's will melt if driven for long periods on the limit in anything but wet conditions due to the compound of the tyre as its an intermediate really.

    Graphics (decals) for 182 track project

    How much mate?

    Daily tyre recommendations with wet track use

    Toyo R888's on my track wheels and Rainsport 3's for my wets/road wheels. The RS3's are a great tyre for a wet track, as you say A rated and the tread pattern disperses standing water very well, they are even not to bad for the road in dry conditions and at less than £140 for all 4 corners (15")...

    Cheers mate, never even considered that. Matt black then.

    Graphics (decals) for 182 track project

    Looking at getting some graphics for the track project as there's so many Clio's at track days that they all pretty much blend into each other, seen these below, was thinking the graphite and yellow on my titanium (attached)? Already have yellow wheels, OMP steering wheel and eventually will get...

    E46 M3 V10

    I get that I really do mate , but I look at it as it is, its a 12 year E46 with 93k miles with an engine from a 10+ year old E60. If built by a reputable company like Driftworks with the whole design process mapped and a step by step checklists of the whole process with what was fabricated and...

    Wilwood midilite caliper - part number for 182

    My advice would be ditch the DS pads for something like the Carbone Lorraine RC6 endurance, ditch the Tarox discs for Brembo Max and aid cooling to the brakes via the fog lights and remove the wheel arch splash guards, shouldn't have any issues then. 4 pots on standard discs wont help cool any...

    Wilwood midilite caliper - part number for 182

    Honestly don't bother, I've recently got rid of Compbrake 4 pots and there's not much difference to OE callipers and decent pads. Save yourself the hassle and money. This comes from experience... Oh and my 15" track wheels didn't fit over them either...

    Wilwoods, Excessive squeaking, esp & abs light on

    Seems its your steering angle sensor behind your steering wheel and brake pedal sensor which activates the brake lights. Search for them both on here mate

    Road Legal or Trailered Track Car

    A modern double rear axel (Brian James) weighs around 600-700kg. So if the Clio weighs around 1100-1200kg the car can weigh no more than 1700-1800kg (with passengers and gear) My Mondeo will just about be under the 3500kg limit.

    Road Legal or Trailered Track Car

    I bet mate, and with these cars things can go wrong when not even driving the car. I found this out recently, I put the car away and it was running fine, come back a few days later and the ABS pump had given up.

    Road Legal or Trailered Track Car

    Road legal here, costs me £600 a year in tax and insurance. Trailer hire is around £50-60 a day but with deposit of £200 each time, plus I'd need straps as well, also the faf of picking the trailer up at the crack of dawn and dragging it back home, loading the car, driving to circuit, unload the...
