Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build
- Thread starter Jay Payne
- Start date
182cup & 172 racecar
Two BIG impacts on the same side, the inner sill is well crumpled, might need lots of welding in the winter.
Prettier
No advantage, same shell AFAIK.
Not a chance! Ph1 is so much more evil looking from the front
I'd reshell it - can't be much more than a few weekends work
I've seen 2 182's sell for under £400 in the last few weeks with engine issues. By the time you buy one and sell the leather, wheels, standard bits - you'd be in profit after the re-shell easily

I'd have to find somewhere to put the swirl pot though, as atm it sit's in the spare wheel well.
Plus I was hoping to do it in a weekend, with a little help of course.

Ta, I have loads of spare panels anyway for a ph1
182cup & 172 racecar
Of course Dave, I wasn't thinking straight.
The panel arguement doesn't hold much water though, can easily change the front end to a ph2. I'd only reshell if the shell is past it tbh.
182cup & 172 racecar
No just that, I'll have to wait until it get's stripped in the winter, see how much welding really needs doing.
And yes I did think of the space you could do with, if it comes with one of those custom cages, your on.
Off course but I would rather re shell a 3-4 year old race car that's in need of a tidy up (Tonys words) than put quarters and sills on one with the price of a shell. Front end swap needs different panels to be done right.
Not a race car IMO when its coming apart for a winter tinker anyway. An inner sill is a fair old job to redo tbh.
Do this and get a camera on time lapse, would be a too see?

(with dents)Good luck for this weekend
I'm really looking forward to this one,
Looking at the line up for our class and the fact that I have completed my first race with no damage or mechanical faults,, I shall be going for some silver ware!,
Really going to push my car and myself.
Tony, Are we going to try and get all the clio's together in the paddock? I know you'll probally be there first, so you can be our scout, lol
I know its not a French Trophy meeting but would look good and get some more interest for next year as its going to be a busy meeting.

Dave, they have got somebody telling us where to go, but I shall try and get on one of the ends, maybe down near Redgate.
But I can't go telling people,"you can't park there mate". But yes it would be good if we could all be together.

No french kissing, esp on track.
I'm again still waiting\undecided (gear box all sorted) - as now 2nd reserve not sure if I want to go to all the effort to just bag the last race of the day at 6pm.
Some people are testing today I've been told, so may be (hopefully) some early withdrawals. I've to let SV know tomorrow when he'll have an idea of any last minute grid changes.

Looking forward to this big time, my first race and first time at Donington apart from Monsters of Rock in 94 lol
Would be good to be together for sure, might feel uncomfy with a bunch of rice burners.

I know who you are!
I did think the other white Clio was a Ph2 172 though. With the Union Jack flag on the roof. Maybe I'm going crazy and mixing two different cars up!
But yeah anyway, that's who I meant lol.
Shame he isn't on the list too otherwise would have been a full house for the cars I know of.

I'm off Sunday, if the weather is okay I might head up for this.
182cup & 172 racecar
Come on Pete, you'll get. It's going to be fun, apart from sleeping with Dinger. Paul and James are scary in the dark.
See you on Sunday.
Rice burners lol, you're gonna die.
It might be, I don't know fk all.
Pussy, sunshine my arse. (it's going to be fine)
182cup & 172 racecar
Vans all loaded, just got to get race car fuel and that should be it. Trying to get as much done tonight as very busy tomorrow.
Allez les frenchies!!

Haha a good mate of mine drifted out of the VW scene years ago and got himself a Civic, worst thing he did imo, his since seen the light and got himself into VAG Audi...he used to get the rippings a lot about the rice burner.
Any updates from testing today, did any one drop out, hope I get on to the grid
So how does that work? Do you just wait till someone crashes out of the first trace and is unable to fix the car for the rest of the meeting, and how much do you pay, Pro rata?
