I doidn't like the big brake I wanted more stopping power and that gave very little extra harder ds2500 pads and normal disk are better stopping power and ore fade resistanct but they don't look as good the big brake kit did look good and realy fitted the wheels.
The 2.0 setup for the 172/182...
Its was a tunning company MTM in germnay who did it so it must be legal ovr there or maybe its registered as a kit car.
I'm sure twin engine can be made legal there a kit car which has two engine but they maybe joined together before drive goes to the wheel or thre the Z cars mini which is the...
the standard wiper misses a small section at the top but sounds like your is missing a lot use some water on it turn it on and have a look whats happening might just be the rubber need cleaning or you need a new one they can break a lot depends hwo you use it give it a squirt of water before you...
Arr no not helping you any more if your realated that nut case.
Make sure you get the bias valve adjusted Ben didn't on his last car and you know the hastle that was (even if that wasn't the reason for the problem). Best go to far like my old Mk1 was and have bad back back brakes than have...
On my old Mk1 the realy realy week horn plus the fact It was to expensive to innsure and if I'd used i ever day i'd be in the poor house with no licence.
On the Mk2 its the dampers going soft after 63k the seats being useless and more importantly the lack of feedback.
They don't do anyhting on the 172/182s either my rear wheels get covered in what looks like brake dust and its got drums. the rear pads are tiny and when they last as long as they do compared to the huge front ones you realise they do about one twententy of the braking if that.
Best shop around try all the compnaies. Drop john2modified on here a message mesure your hubs (see this drawing for what you need to measure) put the wheel on full lock and measure that distance in the picture The hub bolts onto this and your strut won't look idential to that but you'll get the...
Yep williams suspension is a lot of bits bst change the engine to a 1.8 otherwsie you'll need to have custom driveshafts made up.
(williams ones are longer so they won't fit your gearbox but they do fit a Williams or 1.8 engine gearbox).
Don't bother with power.
The focus do handle well that will give him a serous ege.
Best way it to go to a god track so ou cna both drive quicker and safer than you do on road.
Spend the money on coilover set up propely then some very sticky road tyres and then if you want strip the car...
Rsi use the 239mm disks the Valver/Williams use the 259mm diks plus different calipers. Its a bolt on modification though if you want to just need all the caliper brackets to amke them fit your car.
Thats twin engine turbo Nova kees breaking drive shafts which won't help it.
Straight 6 from a Supra wuld be difficult its not a small engine plus with the gearboxyou'd need to put the engine at the front. A Mitsubishi/Suburu engine might be a better idea its smaller plus tunning bits exist.
Its not that difficult to do cmparted to say a proper turbo 172 conversion.
The siple way would be to get another crashed 172 or 182 the whole car and then cut the whole rear of the car out make a strong metal framework and bolt the engine/gearbox and subframe to it then attach the strue etc to...
I have to say the amount of people who recognise what it is or know something about the car even if its wrong ie arn't they 1.8's or arn't they raing cars etc is amazing even the local what you might call Chavs know what the ca is.
Yep it will fit its a stronger box it got longer ratios though so it will get to higher speeds in gear but accelerate a bit slow its only marginal realy though.
Thats expensive I wouldn't pay that much they should be good but thats expensive get some d2500's is the best value upgrade then some decient fluid and some new braided lines. That 4 pot setups serious money I'd get the WIllworrds with stock disk first the'll be much cheaper.
I don't belive them as no other mapping compnay have done 9hp top end with just a remap. Ok there will be some freaky engine Chris and Nics for example and maybe Yozzas which might have done as its a strong engines but fe other ever made.
Diesels are different they run under fueled as diesel...
1.6 Dynamique none+ are quite rare. The + had electric sunroof and aircon as standard.
Its no real different the sunroofs on both are useless and the aircon nothing amazing plus some dynamiques had air con added as an optional extra.
SO long as the damge is where he says it might be god value.
But so many Cups have crashed it amazing there any left.
Check that the front suspension wasn't chnaged due to the crashed some of them swopped ends on the limit so whilst it might be back end damage the front supension maybe bent...
