Is there a way to over-ride the auto headlights on the 182?
The objective is to have them only coming on when I chose to turn them on.
Is this possible atall?
Cheers
Twellsie, pushing at Martin on this subject already ;)
Kev, dont like the car on the 15's, looks like the wheels have shrunk, plenty of room for the 16's so they will be back on as soon as we return from the ring :p
I am indeed Ginge, going again in september with the Twins and Ronnie if you wanted to come along, we can do some more smooth laps and enjoysome late night beers again ;)
This was Kim's 182, took it to coombe a few weeks back and now gone silly with it, doesn't help that I was up at Porkie's...
Well, after a challenge and a half.
The car is now back on the ground wearing 15" turini's, 195/50/15 R888's, wilwood 4 pots, New suspension, bucket seat now firmly bolted in place and all ready to go.... All apart from the harnesses and fixing point to take care of.
Why o' why do we try to...
I'll start off easy,
What plugs would be recommended for a 182?
What grade and make of oil would be recommended for the same engine?
And then belts
My local dealership supplied a grooved belt as a cambelt initially and now they have give us these.
Is this correct for the Camblet kit...
I don't have time to start huting for other options.
I really want maximum grip as the car is going to be 90% a track car as time progresses.
I also need to order tyres early tomorrow to ensure they arrive and on the car ready by close of play Friday.
Never even heard of the Hancock tyres you...
Anyone able to help.
Is my car likely to rub if I fit 888's in 195/50/16 form on a Eibach sportline lowered car?
Cheers, bit desperate to find out now :(
Down side is sourcing 15's and the relevant 888's ready to leave for the ring this weekend.
I can get 888's for the 16's to my door for end if play tomorrow.
But don't want to buy them just to find everything is rubbing :(
Nathan, one quick question for you buddy.
Is your car still at the standard height, and if not do you think there is still enough grace within the arches to allow for a set of Eibach springs to be fitted?
Cheers ;)
i wouldnt worry so much about the car being sold at a later date, its going away in a couple of months to have a full weld in cage fabricated into it.
Jenic, i hope your right buddy ;)
just thought id ask the question in advance, my brain was ticking and i could forsee another wiring issue...
over the coming evening or 2, im going to be fitting the OMP subframe and new bucket seat into the car, along with harnesses etc.
the car has one of those annoying beeping tones that warns you if you drive off without fastening the seatbelt.
is there a simple way around this annoying noise...
Mick, thanks buddy.
the thing is, that black circle bit with the plug leads spins around anyway, as soon as i took the origonal steering wheel off it slipped around.
and it can only go back in one place due to the hole in the boss and the way the boss fits due to the splines thru the shaft...
oooh, i thought those wheels were 15", didnt know they came as a 162 aswell.
im still learning..... and i want some of those aswell :D
Cheers Nathan ;)
been looking at tyres for the car, its a cup packed car so the current tyres are 205/45's.
im anting something with a decent compromise of track tyre with a little road use, although i can predict the car will be fully gutted and commited to being a track car within a few months.
my debate...
Any chance you could break that down into laymans terms please buddy.
There was the black ring with 4 different wiring connectors coming off of it.
What would I need to align those to?
Steering wheel boss could only fit in one place due to the way the splines were laid out.
