Build dilemma

[Nedla]

Got myself this 182 and can't decide wether to do bucket seats and strip interior or cooksport springs and braided hoses, i have a budget of about £850

 

[RuskiWeldFab]

For £850 you can do all of those things!

Don't strip a streep car, you'll regret it. :wink:

Take it you want to do track days?

Brakes and tyres will make the biggest immediate difference I think.

If your on a really tight budget talk to @George@RTR_Parts about the brakes. Probably hc front disks and ds2500/3000 pads, Leave the rears standard, braided lines and replace the fluid with performance stuff. I use ATE stuff which is cheap as chips and I hammer my car and don't have a problem.

You can find some decent second hand tyres very cheap on here/eBay etc. Be warned about track tyres on the road though. Doesn't take much to make them illegal and some are lethal in the wet. There are some that are half way between the two though.

Other than that make sure your filters and fluids are all good. General maintenance is kept up and go and have a blast.

Add a bit more to the pot and do the High Performance Driving course.

Are you planing to drive it, track it or just pose about in it?

Track it and maybe the odd trip to the shops

Stripping the car will make the sq.rt of FA difference apart to your hearing / sanity, on a normal track day.

 

[imprezaworks]

Tbf. My reply was before trackdays were spoken about.

Regardless, do it anyway

Strip car back to components.
Sell all said components
Buy MX5 & track tuition

Cant go wrong with a set of standard brembo front high carbon discs and some PBS pads! A relatively cheap set up compared to what you could spend on braking, will make a hell of a difference too!
