Building this setup for my 182 as we speak, with regards to springs I wonder what the best compromise is for making it sit a little lower than standard yet retaining a nice ride on the road but working well on track. I'm guessing progressive springs are the key for what I want.
Sam - What...
Thats one thing I love about my bronze (brown) M3 Saloon, haven't seen another ever! Supposedly only 5 others in the country and one is/was a BMW press car.
No doubt the Megane is a very good handling car but for me the power delivery makes it rather boring, lots of power early is great but at 6k it just dies which I know isnt Daves cup of tea!
Best cash price on the pair? ;)
Would love to mate however i'm in the worksvan with a tracker so they'll get the hump if I use it for personal use. Should of just bought the car in today but nevermind.
Well im currently in Basingstoke still working....
By the time I get home, get sorted and come back to doesnt seem worth it. :( Maybe next time, have a good one though!
That silver 200's lovely Dave!
I must admit I had that feeling of getting a new car a while back when I drove the 200/Megane 250/Focus RS. The 200 felt okay but for me it certainly wasnt worth the brand new price tag. Maybe I didn't have a good/long enough drive of the 200 so it would be good...
Bluestuffs arent actually that bad, if they're coupled with good brembo HC's its a good setup. Dont whatever you do go with the godspeed disks as they are shite!
Probably one of the few clios that looks alright with these wheels on mainly because of the arch work making them fit better. Only things thats bugging me atm is the actually amount of people buying these wheels, there must be at least 7 clios recently fitting the exact same wheel. Would be nice...
Yeah I think there'll be a gap that emerges been the two 'heavys' (yours and Ollies) and the lightweights (Dave and I) but it'll be fun none the less, will have to have a peddle of yours and likewise you can have a go in mine once its done. :)
Lol, it wont James! Well, we'll see anyways! ;)
Indeed it will be interesting mate, I personally feel i'll be slower around circuits however it will be much more rewarding and fun coupled with it being comfy on the road. So both good and bad points, though i'm sure i'll be still giving you a run for your money! ;)
UPDATE -
Yesterday I got on with cleaning the interior of the car as it was disgusting and changing the exterior diamonds/bullets back to standard. Got all the interior out and hovered it all down, wiped down every plastic panel in the car as they were either grubby as hell or dusty...
Ah thats sounds alright to me then! Like youve said as long as the dampenings alright so it isn't too crashy and when i'm on track the cars very 'loose' (adjustable) then i'm happy. Having driven Sir_Daves setup which is near enough the same as yours its an amazing even perfect all round setup...
For all that money you'll be spending I wouldnt bother even touching the 182 and just buying a 'ready to race' car and bloody race the thing! In my experience trackdays are great for the first couple of years tops with the same car then gets incrediby boring, with that budget you could have a...
