Think that’ll make more than we think, not many on that mileage and unmodified.

It’s not a daily so a bit impracticality I can deal with, would be nice to take it to work very occasionally but thats a 110 mile round trip. Looks like I’ll have 2 gripper boxes for sale soon then 😅

Good point, it hadn’t even crossed my mind that a quaife was an option! I’ve used my grippers on the road, they’re not too bad but definitely can’t push on like you could with a standard car, especially on the roads near me!

I’m in a little predicament where I can’t decide what to do. Sandwich plate came loose on my 182 turbo last week on a track day, dumped all the oil and seized the engine. Now this isn’t an issue per se as I wanted to put my n/a setup back in it. It may go back to turbocharged one day as it was...

Yeah we sold it to Dawn. Definitely a unicorn car worth keeping!

Haven’t seen that in a while, my dad owned it in around 2016 I think it was.

I’ve got my ex 172 cup race car shell that will be available in the next month or so if you wanted a proper project. It’s not rolling but will come with: Subframe Lower arms Rear beam Body panels Windows She’s had a life but with some work could go back on the road, V5 is present.

@182Trev

There’s a thread on here somewhere where someone weighed them. 170kg iirc

Yeah over to the left and up, tighten the rod up and it’s all good. Done both of mine like that over the years. And make sure the gearbox is in reverse also.

I used a bunjee cord to hold it over in reverse and tighten underneath, never had an issue doing it that way

What tyres would people recommend for a low boost 182? Just an occasional drive on the road, I’ve got ar1’s for track days.

The steering wheel is horrendous. The engine cover and injector cover being missing is pretty normal these days, they don’t find their way back on after oil changes. It looks okay in pictures, check for rust in the fuel filler flap and around the arches. The only little red flag for me is why...

I imagine the connectors on to the rear lights will be corroded, clean them up and it should fix it unless they’re too far gone.

If you wanted a pair to refurb I’m pretty sure I’ve got some I would sell.

Having been in your predicament, deciding to replace it putting it back together and it leaking again after a dyno session, I’m definitely on the side of leave it alone unless it’s pissing out. I was not happy pulling it apart again.

Cool, I’ll see how it goes and bare that in mind 👌🏻

I’ve advertised it for £2800 and £1750 for the box but obviously I’m open to offers

I agree, but in this case I have the engine out of my race car which i have built and used, it’s also the engine out of this car originally.

That’s good to know, in my head I was at £2.5k the lot or £4k inc the gearbox. It is standard pistons and rods. Made 248hp when mapped. I’d also sell it dressed with the cup alternator setup and loom so you could throw it in. If bought with the gearbox would also come with the RTS turbo clutch...

I’m thinking about converting my 182 back to N/A meaning I’d sell the engine, turbo kit etc but no idea what it’s worth. Engine was built by @GrahamS and Alex at Awmotorworks back in 2020. ED turbo kit with Garrett GT2560R turbo. 13 row mocal oil cooler. Engine Machined and rebuilt from a...

I have a group n tool that I would sell if you’re interested?

That’s worth repairing it’s just maintenance items.

lol small world that’s the actual x85 I won the birkett 6 hour in 😆 haven’t seen that car about in 10 years!

Jesus I didn’t realise they were now that much, that’s the answer to the OP then 😆

It’s got a £10k+ transmission to begin with

This is the car I wish mine was, looks great!

End of year 750 motor club race meeting. Yes race meeting where you need a licence to compete, it’s the same every year 😂

I’ve never understood the attraction of doing the plum pudding, just guaranteed to ruin your Christmas when you write your car off or blow it up.

Long story short I want to enter some rounds of the castle Combe Hot Hatch Series, but all cars are required to fit a dry break for fuel sampling. My next question has anyone done this and how do I do it? My setup is standard plastic fuel rail, OEM fuel lines and running standard power. If it’s...
