For everyone's info, an optimiser like this would do the job nicely http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=9&pub=5575105179&toolid=10001&campid=5337597098&icep_uq=ctek+battery+charger

A lighter, smaller and sealed (non spillable) battery

Worth getting an optimiser if your not using the car regular. They can be left dissconected and not need charging but only if stored above a certain temperature

Front windows are going plastic. Rears will stay for now as they are bonded

Thread title is a bit of a give away, Lol. I wouldnt mind doing Prescott hillclimb tho

? :S were racing, not hillclimbing

No front lights, Horn, Handbrake etc Its not been built to be road going from the beginning. We decided that the cost of mot, insurance and tax would e better off spent racing seeing as we have access to a trailer

Cars have to be road legal? Coz this wont be

Wipe some poo on the nuts, they will think twice then

Bad weather might hold up the build a little now. Its been in the workshop for 6 weeks or more but is now outside and under 8 inches of white stuff

Doesnt surprise me. A customer of mine called me coz her car wouldnt start, she said the battery had gone flat. When I opened the bonnet we discovered the battery had actually gone!

Ah I see

Really? How?

Thats why I said 'Looks like'

Looks like the 197 ITB manifold that GDI/OMEX did?

I can see where you are coming from mate. But the Oddyssey batteries are a dry cell type. If you cut it open, no acid would leak out. I will check this tho thanks.

Was it your idea?

But you now own the ONLY 182 that is signed by the Plato

were running a cup box in the race car for that reason but it will probably still be too leggy for what we need. Our gearbox guy can change them

all gears as its the final drive (diff ratio) iirc phase 2 was shorter to counter the extra weight over a phase 1 to keep the 0-62 the same

The OP said it was for his Nan, i was assuming she wont get bored with the car in a year or so and sell it and was also assuming that she will use the car infequently for short trips. Therefore payng more for a battery to get a very good quality one will be the best option. Yes you can buy...

£25 for a decent one? was it a 9volt? Retail expect to pay £50-£65 for a 063 battery (ususaly themore you pay the better/longer the warranty)

will be slower on acceleration but have a higher top speed (slightly)

You need a cup or phase 1 box for it to work. Phase 1 box will have a longer final drive tho

doesnt anyone read profiles, i train dolphins for a living, not work on cars on the side of the road. But if i did then i would also suggest the reverse light method to power ignition & drop the drivers window. or use a long rod to press the lock button (after you have wedged a door open...

Its not a cage tho is it, its a bit of 'trim'

So why not forget the SC idea and get some proper coilovers and do a track day every month?

No air con = no filter
