22" spinners?
Could be a new trend setter getting people away from the Turini obsession.
IMO go for some light 15" wheels like Ultraleggeras.
With those on your car will feel like you've added 500000000 bhp

Ha ha, i learnt from the master. lol
Hopefully get a decent job and will then buy a comfortable car for everyday as i now dont want some muppet crashing into my track car.
Not in this weather it isnt. The day i had it all fully mapped i had a tiny bit of...
I'm quite sure 182's dont pop and bang. I couldnt get mine to pop and bang at all and it had a straight through exhaust decat jobbie. it used to rumble and bubble but not bang
With ITB's on, it pops bangs and spits plenty of flames :)
Get the K-tec Ultra Performance exhaust, sounds like...
Re: One Year on & £**** spent
When i'm driving and lift off the car sounds like its spits a flame or somthing but i obviously could never see. So i thought i'd be a little chavy and see if i could get flames by reving the car a little out in the country.
Just went out with the video recorder...
Re: One Year on & £**** spent
David at K-tec took some videos and pics as i wasnt allowed in the cell when the car was moving, so hopefully they will be better than my little videos.

Very nice. I think i'll be getting an oil cooler in a few months. Adds a bit more safety to the engine :)
Re: One Year on & £**** spent
Thanks,
I didnt modify the rad mounts at the bottom. The mounts on the top were just taken off. The radiator is a bit loose at the moment. wabbles backwards and forwards but i will be trimming the plastic fan so i can fit this.
And then making a little...
Re: One Year on & £**** spent
Cheers mate, What figures did you end up getting?
I know the figures arnt really that important but its nice to know what your 182 is making.
Re: One Year on & £**** spent
Yeah i am pretty pleased.
Espically as the car produced 176bhp at the rolling road meet a little while ago. so 24 bhp gain is nice and tidy.
Also the rolling roads are excactly the same so it was a good indication of befor and after.
The car is soooooo...

ITB MAPPING:
On Thursday the 17th i had to get up at 6:30 and make my way way down to K-tec.
So about 3 hours later i arrived at K-tec and met Andy and he got striaght on with balancing the ITB's.
After the balancing i drove the car round to the New Rolling...
Re: One Year on & £**** spent
Yeah tbh everything with cars (apart from electrics) is just unbolting and rebolting. Its just the order and having the tools and space to do it.
But its a good feeling when you do it all yourself :)
I spoke to Andy (K-Tec) and said the bit of swarf that...
Re: One Year on & £**** spent
When it fired up i had the bigest smile on my face.
My old man saw the enigne when it was at its bearest and he said what happens if it doesnt start. No Faith lol
Re: One Year on & £**** spent
UPDATE:
Spent just over 24 hours over the last 2 days working on the car in my old mans garage :)
So this is what the car used to look like.
Removed the slam pannle and the grill. (will be chopping the top part of the grill off)
Masking taped up the...
Finished fitting my ITB's tonight and started her up and the Coolant Temp Sensor is leaking.
I drilled the hole and tryed tapping it but didnt really do it that well. It stays in the hole but i need somthing to seal around the edges of the sensor.
Any ideas?
Here are 2 pics to help show...
