welcome, both look lovely

know where you are coming from, I kind of want to track mine too as I've only ever used my proper track car so sort of want to have a play in a more standard vehicle on track.

nice work and car does look great. need to get my finger out and sort mine with some love......be spring now though, daily grind until then!

In all honesty the 182 drives better, it's definitely keener (it is mapped, phase 1 is stock) and it's a nicer place to be daily with the toys (cruise/climate etc). But the phase 1 is just so much cooler, I feel more excited about driving it. Reminds me much more of the mk1 which I prefer again...

Scarab is such a wonderful colour and then they put it on those wheels with that interior....I love phase 1 but the exclusive is such a lame duck. I feel like all phase 1's should appreciate if kept standard but I wouldn't pay for an exclusive what I'd want for my odyssey.... Wierd

Shouldn't break if everything is well maintained, crack on with a trackday and see how you go

Scary stuff, underbonnet smoke is never a good thing! Hopefully new alternator and sorted

As most have said, just don't park like muppet and there's no reason your alloys will ever get scuffed

I'd be trying 12v direct to the fuel pump and see if it runs

depends if your page is public or not I would guess

time to change insurers! lol!

tbh i'd not mess about and just replace the lot for a stainless cat back

it'll probably be fine, but sideways load on them will be the weakest point on if it shifts, even a little, repeatedly this will lead to stress and metal fatigue surprisingly quickly

nice result to get it sorted, as you say would of been shame to scrap it specifically what area of the ignition wiring was corroded and as such causing the issue? be useful to know exactly for other fault finding in the future on forum searches

nice work, just one quikc point though have you thought about lateral loading on those tank straps? the tank when full under heavy cornering is going to want to slide from side to side personally i'd weld some little upright plates to the boot floor either side for it to slot into before being...

ai the 180 ns2-r's are pants, about as much grip as federal 595's which is the sum of f**k all

left hooker, I r dissapoint

I just wire brushed my hubs and hammerite hammered black them

ai don't go 4x4 or MPV etc as they have the aero of a brick so day to day economy will be awful, stick with estates, lower drag and slightly less weight so you'll see better mpg. real world though larger cars are nearly always s**t!lol!

I still get confused on this myself, I was looking into it as well, this is what is allowed on a 1997-2013 pass licence Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes and no more than eight passenger seats (ie: officially dubbed Category B vehicles and are typical cars) with a 750kg trailer (4.25 tonnes total...

as above really, just slap the size you want into ebay and get searching, I always go used and try for local too so I can check then before I carry them away there are NOS bargains to be had too, got a set of brand new AD08R's for 180 quid other week localish I also find sometimes buying them...

nice Caterham :tongueclosed:

video no worky for me either :( and that's going to keep you busy if you get orders for them!

interesting, could easily enough machine wheels out provided enough meat though I guess. make my Superleggera even lighter removing some metal.....flol!

have you had to ease the bolt holes on any of the wheels you use as well?

strange as his gets loads of airflow but sounds atrocious! lol!

I would guess drill and tap hub for M14 thread and buy an M14 stud conversion, done

ai, everyone who's spoken about them before I know have said they just fall apart in the dry but make a very good wet tyre

don't they just shred in the dry the R1R's?

looking forward to pics :) and was it financial ruin in the end?!!!lol!
