I've got one more "refinement stage" over winter then that will be it for me also.

Chassis wise mines set up for swift road use, I'm on some new B14s at the moment with whiteline bar and the 295mm Wilwood kit. I'm tempted with the AP caliper set up but it seems excessive when what I have works so well.

I've still got my Sachs but refurb prices are getting quite silly at the moment so I'm holding of getting them done.

Mine will consist of spring rate changes, 4 pot brembo upgrade and adjustments/enhancements to the roll centre kit.

Have you seen the post about BG now doing the Sachs on the hurry up? Motorsport season has ended so they're obviously drumming up business.

Actually I missed that, will go look now. Cheers for the heads up

hurry yes, cheaper no. The price is just the same as when they are rammed..Its just the turn around.

It looks great. One of the very few cars on here I'd happily swap mine for

Nice work Mark, wiring looks top notch.

Nice to see your using the green top valeo coils!
I think that's the first time I've seen your engine as well! Looks good mate.

Do you know if the Valeo coils fit a Megane R26?

Cheers Tim!
Yeah the green top Valeo coils will work with the R26 mate. The Beru ones are good quality as well. I paid £60 delivered for my green tops, so I'll be buying another 4 as spares for just in case. The last thing I want is one to go down when I'm over in Germany!

Where did you purchase them from? It cost £45 each last time I bought new coils from Renault Wolverhampton!

I got them off good old eBay mate! I'll see if I can find a link mate.

@TimR26 @nath&alex here is the link to the valeo green tops. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/181545397034

ECP stock the Valeo green top coils

ECP stock the Valeo green top coils :smile:

How much do they sell them for mate? The place in the eBay link I posted sells them singularly for £20 and the full set for £60

I've just checked and they aren't listed now, annoyingly... I bought them when they had a "20% off XYZ" offer.

But £60 for the set is a good price! I can't imagine mine where much less.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Nothing to update I'm afraid, but I have been in the garage! The time spent in there has been used doing some odds and sods, but nothing cup related.
Here's a couple of pics for you!

Yes that crownwheel is funking huge! The casings had to be modified to allow the diff to turn! Lol!

A bit of gripper diff, crownwheel and pinion action. I'm building this up for a member on here. He shall remain nameless unless he chooses to speak up. :wink:

More to come. :up:

 

[JP83]

Dem Gears!

= ££££'s!

@bashracing has spoken! The gearbox is his and will soon be destined for his 182.

 

[bashracing]

Never imagined the crown wheel would be that big,
if anyone sees a 182 around leeds doing 30 mph everywhere, I'm not being a tit I'll just be giving my ear drums a rest.
Awesome work Mark:up:

I know mate! It only became clear just how big the crownwheel is when I fitted it, or at least attempted to!! Lol! Die grinder to the rescue to relieve the casing.
Lol @30mph!! You'll be on the limiter at 30! In 5th!

 

[bashracing]

It's a good excuse to build something with a 9k rev limit i reckon
may as well get rid of first out of there it'll be like a crawler gear

 

[NorthloopCup]

As in f4r? Get your arsehole greased if you do! It'll cost you £££££'s to build a 9k capability.

 

[bashracing]

I like spending

 

[NorthloopCup]

I like spending

Lol you must do if your remotely serious on wanting a 9k limit! Built right though you'd be able to approach a real 280bhp n/a though.

 

[bashracing]

would i have to sell the BMW?

 

[NorthloopCup]

You'd need about 8-10k to build it mate.

 

[bashracing]

less than i thought actually,
in reality I need around 240hp to beat the class record i reckon, it'll be interesting to see what yours makes

A good reliable 240bhp is achievable for around 5k mate. That's using proper components, not the wossner shite.

 

[bashracing]

sounds doable,
feel free to use your new super power to delete any of the nattering above messing up the thread if you want mate

Yeah it's achievable with the right bits. It can all stay mate, I'm not bothered. :up:

Bit off topic really but in terms of 4 cylinder n/a engines what are easiest to get big power from? Some of the late 80s early nighties homologation specials?

You can get power out of any n/a 4 pot tbh. You've just got to have deep pockets! Lol! The e30 m3 4 pot was very responsive to n/a tuning, with 300bhp+ achieved, but the rebuild intervals at this level of hp are quite frankly, horrendous.
Unfortunately there is a lot of 'pub talk' hp figures out there as well in terms of n/a power.

 

[497adam]

The E30 m3 engine did spring to mind especially in the 2.5dtm form but they must of spent huge amount developing it

Ford bda is another good engine from back in the day.

Lol @ the bit where he's reported as saying '330bhp is enough' on the e30 m3 engine, which then went on to produce 365bhp! Holy. s**t!
