Nah they changed the shape of the exhaust ports on the later 182 heads. Early ph2 172 had oval and 182's had the rectangular shaped ports. Emission related iirc.
I drive a mk5 1.6 golf match as my daily drive and tbh I'm glad I do!! The Clio as much fun as it is, would boil my urine if I had to drive it on a daily basis! I like the comfort and the gadgets of the golf to much as well! Cup is just a toy really.
The lad over the road has a mugen civic...
See that's the difference for me with the Astra as its the engine, box, suspension and fuel system that are worth the money to make stripping it feasible. I didn't have a cage as the car was a 2bar boost sleeper! Caught many an unsuspecting supercar driver out in that car! The bodyshell is in...
I have a mk3 Astra gsi that's had about 30k pumped into it. Had the car since I was 19 (now 34!) and I've started splitting it for parts - I feel your pain phil.
I've got some Clio r3 performance parts if your interested? High comp pistons, cams and heat treated rods. If the price is right, they're available!! Power wise your looking at around 220-230hp. Pm me if your interested to save cluttering up Tony's thread.
no a/c on a cup either mate, so there's a good 10-15kg there. Also, the cups come with nigh on no sound deadening in them. I know your asking about stripped vs stripped, but some people may not remove this. Maybe. Possibly?!
Cup front glass is also apparently thinner. They can only mean the...
Does it have to be a full on prepared race car or can I enter in my mighty diamond? Cba to google it. Being bone idle tonight. I'd be very interested if I'd be allowed to enter.
I had a similar tussle to this with an evo 5/6 can't quite remember which now. He joined the circuit at breidscheid and just pulled straight out in front of me! Not good when you've set yourself up for an 80mph entry into ex muhle!
I proceeded to call him all the c***s under the sun and got...
I use Ast top mounts set for max caster as I couldn't be arsed to gay around modifying the wishbones for extra caster. Plus if you go to far you'll be in inner arch rub city!
yes to both tony IMO. That way it would make the racing closer in changeable conditions!! Wet race with abs would be a godsend, wet race and no abs requires an element of skill!
To easy to get these revalved mate. Grass roots motorsport always has, and always WILL attract cheats unfortunately. I think you'd have to keep it standard shocks purely based on the the fact that you can't revalve them.
