Respect your passion. I have a C30 T5, 98 S40 T4 manual and an XC60 T6 but.........I still find these unlovable, sorry.

Yes bring the lines into a tee and out to the prop valve. Make sure any lines that might rub on the body have some sort of protection - old hose or something pushed over. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Correct. Speedo doesn’t work. If you really want it try an old iPhone - I use one with TrackAddict app on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I did. Been racing with it sometime now and it works great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks chaps. My buddy here in NZ had a clutch explode in a race recently, apparently it’s relatively common?? Thinking of changing mine as preventative maintenance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi wanted to know what clutch people run or recommend for track only car - standard 182 engine and box. Not sure how the standard clutch stands up to lots of high rpm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To bin the abs ..... I think I wrote a guide on here called diy abs. Have a gander https://www.cliosport.net/threads/diy-abs-delete.819915/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Once you start down the road of stripping weight for free gains it’s hard to stop. You look at the car and think “ you’re looking a bit fat” and something else gets taken off. One day your door seals look a bit unnecessary and as it happens they are if you adjust the latch. Sent from my...

I run Koni struts and eibach lowering springs as a cheap alternative. If it’s all about $/fun the don’t worry about the coilovers. The standard engine and setup is really good that’s why people love these cars. You can thrash on them out of the box. Save your money and strip all the weight out...

This would turn out to be a terrible idea. I found the weight of the manual steering ok on the road but on track I found it really hard work and it had totally ruined the car! I was cursing myself on that one. More to follow.... Interesting- I’ve had no PAS on track for a while and don’t...

Fullriver HC20 is good. Comes with maintainer charger. Sold as replacement for PC680. https://www.thebatterycellonline.co.nz/images/HC20.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First time out with the ‘armstrong’ steering was a bit like....”oh dear what have I done” but I got used to it really quickly. I like the cleaner engine bay and less weight etc. well worth bining the ABS too while you’re at it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been running no PAS on track for quite a few races now. It’s all good. Just left my plugs zip tied up in the breeze I think. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used vbands but just did a whole section in stainless steel dairy tube. Works nicely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I did a guide on here for this. Buy a flare tool kit and make your own.

Track only - I don’t have one. Take it off and save the weight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kumho ecsta V70a are the ducks nuts - on track anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all thought I would post my diy ABS delete story. I have a fully stripped 182track only car and wanted to clear out the engine bay and save some weight. Winning. After my first track day without it I can say I am very happy with result. Saves over 6kg and really strips a lot of stuff out...

Depends why you want to remove it. The cheapest method is to remove everything but leave the pump in place. If you want to save more weight then gut all the internals from this as well so it’s just a shell with pulley. To remove the pump entirely then yes you need a kit to enable a shorter belt...

No PAS for me. It’s fine on track. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

SS dairy tube exhaust is in. Cat and mid resonator are out, cost me $100 to get it tig’d up & $80 for two vbands. ABS is out and custom brake lines made and fitted. Bought a double flare tool and 3/16 tube bender to do the job. Much cheaper than premade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Snap. V Bands. I’ve just got those on my 2.5” stainless dairy tube exhaust. Brilliant. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PMS PAS delete fitted as well. Absolutely fine on track with 360mm steering wheel. Lap times still falling. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More weight saving been going on. Even the handbrake is gone. Exhaust out - mild steel sections being replaced with SS. Bonnet hinges gone. Started making a splitter with left over polycarb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool. Maybe just use a phone GPS showing speed for track use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good discussion. So,,,,,for a 182 non cup, track only car,,,can the abs be removed without changing master cyl?? Sounds like yes but the speedo won’t work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Between the passenger seat rails flat on the floor. Put some closed cell foam down. Bolts some steel strap straight through the floor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome. Your old 182 is happy in my shed thanks Dave. Must weight it as it’s been on a heavy diet!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
