    The everlasting ph1 ITB Build **GREEN-BUILD STARTS AT PAGE 100**

    Ahh right, i assumed the bar going to the struts would be used for harnesses after i'd posted. Be nice to see some gussets on the cross/diagonal bars :wink:

    No harness bars for the cage?

    Yeah, as i said in your message it can get lively on the rear but it's just being dragged around anyway so just keep your foot in :tongueclosed:

    Phase 1 track car. Nice.

    This! No engine mods, no diff, average coilovers, no rear arb. Sticking with my £3-3.5k

    You can use one of those paint de-nib things, it's like a sharp metal block which shaves the paint off. Use with caution.

    2118’s are about 9.5kg, would guess the 2020’s to be around 7kg?

    Anyone upgraded from a 172/182 track car?

    You can get Bilstein B14 for less than the BC's. You won't have as much adjustability but they're much better than Vmaxx.

    Rear damper bolt question

    Reminds me of the time i had to remove an engine, box and subframe from one that was parked nose first against a fence on axle stands with the wheels and suspension removed 😂

    A standard Clio vs a standard Megane are pretty much the same at around 170 bhp per ton. Stick with the Clio as parts and consumables will be cheaper.

    Dent/damage removal?

    No haha, a place up near Preston called Tilling Powdercoating. The Megane wheels i had done were yeah, powdercoated red. Decent enough job for £120.

    Had a set of 18" Megane ones done for £30 a wheel :tongueclosed:

    182 brakes on a 1.2 16v?

    Bit overkill to convert the brakes really. Can't really go quick enough in a 1.2 😂 I'd save the money and buy a 182 when you can insure one.

    182 brakes on a 1.2 16v?

    Would need the hubs, the correct bolt spacing on the shocks to go with the hubs. Probably a few other things too.

    Rear damper bolt question

    That's what I said in less words that weren't copied and pasted from some website.

    Rear damper bolt question

    The grease will reduce the friction thus allowing the bolt to be tightened more, which applies more clamping force and stretching the bolt. That's why ARP supply special grease with their studs and bolts so that the torque can be replicated the same on each fastener.

    Rear damper bolt question

    You assumed I didn't torque them, but I did. After they had come loose the copper grease was cleaned off and then they were re torqued. They have since never come loose. Same reason I don't copper grease wheel bolts.

    Rear damper bolt question

    Bit of penetrant spray should be fine, they can be tight though. Heat as mentioned should work. Don't copper grease them when putting them back in. Had them come loose doing that.
