Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build



  182/RS2/ Turbo/Mk1
I'm in talks about it today.
Will be a very basic spec car.

If you want to keep it cheap then insist on standard genuine renault shocks only. (172 only non trophy/cup packed)

2K of suspension is just as dear as a set of bodies after all, so no good trying to keep the engines cheap if the suspension then still costs a fortune.

​I'm going to start a thread about it now. The topic keeps clogging up other people threads.

That's exactly what's being suggested Chip. Basically cage, seat, extinguisher/cutoff. Only options being springs and maybe camber. Keep it as cheap as possible so for about 3k you could be on the grid.

Who's was the silver clio with green wheels? It was mentally loud. On the flip side, Ian Collins car was probably the quietest. Silent Assassin?
 
  Audi A3 TDI 170 B.E.

It was turned on I did first race then nick done second!
Remember turning them off after each race as well, best check that it working then.

Well that's what you get from trying the outside on cold tyres - anything can happen, that's speaking from bitter experience! Standard engine and head and valves and springs, ARP head bolts, 421Cams, Jenvey Bodies and OMEX ECU - Maps at 209 BHP and 167 lb/ft on rollers at MechMotors in Cheltenham.

​I'm assuming you're Ian Collins?

Ah ok. Just trying to sort out in my pea-brain who you all are. Forum names rarely match real names on the side of race cars!

Been home an hour! What a place to get out of.

Great weekend by all, and I apologise to Gordon for the Gerrards incident, but a little more space would have been helpful.

Anybody else have fun getting past Beth Cox? Foooooooo...!!

Nice to see everybody again, it's been too long.

Mike and Nick :cheers:

And Adam for doing the petrol run, how's the long arm?

Spotted the clio like, didn't see it on track though just walking around the paddock! Shame I didn't get a chance to meet anyone.
 
  DON'T SEND ME PM'S!!

shouldn't be allowed on track, absolute liability, she hit Sam coming out of Devils elbow, hit the other side of Gordons car that you hadn't smashed, and took more trips across the grass than I could count.
