Another Kangoo 182

Lee @ fcm?

Did my old Cup. The only guy who could actually do it and get my 300 mm wheel dead straight.

Place could do with a good tidy up though... ?

Yes mate. He is the absolute boy when it comes to alignment. They had some big tasty cars down there yesterday.

Yep theres always scoobies, skylines and evos knocking about the place.

Just looks odd as the place is pretty old skool in its presentation....!

 

[Mr Burns]

I love weird, pointless and fun cars, so this gets a big thumbs up from me.

Get to CSF next weekend and you can see it in real life.

 

[dann2707]

Yeah I'll be there

 

[Bluebeard]

Took the van to CSF at he weekend. (An awesome weekend, like, really awesome) and the van, aside from boiled power steering fluid, performed faultlessly. 8 sessions on track, plus my mate had a go, and it just kept on going with no issues.
The front wheels are now gold as they got so hot so some alloy wheels will be on the cards for track days as he steels hold too much heat.
Going to do the Ball joints CV boots and ABS rings in the next few weeks and I may refit the cat as it’s too loud.

Some pics from CSF;

Front hinged bonnets look cool. I'd do one of these myself if I could concentrate on a car project for more than 30 minutes at a time...

It’s nice not worrying about the bonnet flipping up a la mk2 clio...

Yeah it’s been a s**t ton of work I can’t lie. I needed to get it to CSF as if I didn’t set myself a deadline, like you I’d have just done half the work and moved on or started day dreaming again.

 

[DaveDreads]

It does actually c0ck a rear wheel round corners.

 

[Bluebeard]

Yeah man!

 

[Short Norman]

swing those dice!!!!

 

[Coops Mk1]

Yeah man!

Feeler gauge required, but yep just about c0cking

If you c0ck by a mm or a cm, c0cking’s c0cking.

Another track day done in the van. This time Donnington!

Ran all day between 4 people. It was out more than any other car there and it didn’t miss a beat. ???

 

[linearvsunison]

Have there been any non-van conversions done? i.e. 5 seater Kangoo's? Every one I've seen has been a panel van conversion.

I really like the idea of these but need more than 2 seats!

Join the Kangoo/Kubistar owners club on Facebook. There are all sorts of weird and wonderful creations on there.

Ah if only i'd have know as that's just up the road from my offices (just outside Castle D). Must get some right odd looks rocking up to a track day in it though - t'is awesome

Yeah I have one

 

[Krarl]

@Mickb has put all sorts of things in Kangoo’s

I’ll be about 65 before he gets the V6 finished

[Bluebeard]

A s**t video, but a video none the less!

 

[Bluebeard]

Also, I fitted these not long ago.

Evo 7 recaros with VBD adapter plates so they function properly. Although the handle to slide back and forwards was rattling and driving me mad. I was sat in a horrific traffic jam so if anyone needs the adjusters, they are in a hedge somewhere on the side of the A4174. ?

 

[DaveDreads]

Sounds good, almost as good as The Dog Kennel....almost.

You silly silly man.

(Hope you’re well mate? Long time no speak after you binned me off WhatsApp...)

 

[DaveDreads]

I'm good mate, new job, new start, all is well.

Your Whatsapp group f*cked my phone storage up with for sale pics of cars and car parts, you 3 are worse than a bunch of women discussing shoes and handbags!

 

[Mr Burns]

...You know you can delete the media files, right??

Van is looking good Dan. It's funny I saw one go flying past me and my mate earlier, and it got me telling him about yours. He was quite amused.

 

[The Beardo]

What this needs now is some itb”s and group n timing

F4r in a 4x4 trekka would be mint if the running gear was stronger

love the evo seats suit it perfectly

 

[OpulentPete]

Daniel, do you still have this? How's it going?
I'm building one at the moment.

I mate I sold it in about May time I think?

I am hoping to buy it back very soon though...

I see!!

Out of interest what are these valued at (depending on fit and finish obviously)


I'll start a build thread on here, i was going to video it but its extremely hard to file AND get productive work done.

I’ve seen ropey ones fail to sell at £1200. I’ve seen absolute minters with everything. Done go for near £5k.

 

[OpulentPete]

That's fair, I was expecting that for "half finished mess" to "track ready"...
I'm about £1000 into it in costs so far, but have , all I really need to buy next is suitable wheels, not sure if I should go with steels or OZ alloys...

The steels look cool (IMO) but they don’t allow enough heat to leave the brakes for proper track work I don’t think.

 

[Brigsy]

I let my old one go for £3500, not sure if it was a bit cheap compared to some ive seen for sale, but thats all i realistically valued it at.

 

[Martin_172]

id love to build one next but ive got a feeling 3x vans and no cars is getting a bit obsessive
