[CODGEY 182]

Just having a browse on the old fleebay and seen this ,

Looks like a fun motor and not to badly priced

 

[Iridium]

So damn cool.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Looks sh!te if you ask me . And what's that airfilter all about .Not only will it be sucking in lots of hot air it's tiny so i'd imagine would strangle the engine .

 

[Iridium]

Heh yea, never noticed that, that is not run they run normally I'm sure - they use the Espace V6/Cup Racer airbox - big round biscuit barrel thing.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

^^ Thats what i thought . The filter is usually down behind the passenger side headlight .

Theyve probably just taken off and sold the air box because they know folk are daft enough to buy it beliving it gives massive gains :rasp: :rasp:

hmm looks ot be a pseudo road legal cup car. std the lights are missing and caf runs to drivers side (on LHD) via a ph1 airbox iirc but that has 'normal' lights and a pokey filter !

[Beaniemoo]

Looks to me like it could be one of palmersports old corporrate cars as the seats are on rails and a few things look like they've been made that bit sturdier to cope with the punishment.

Last time I looked under my boot carpet there wasnt a spare wheel well. This is sold as a 182!!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

its an ex palmersport car, they all use to run on lpg, i'm trying to source all the lpg bits from one of them

 

[mattjk]

LOL well spotted Bill

Well it was in response to your quote so you is Bill yes. :rasp:

Still interested where the extra ponies are derived from?

 

[Fred@BTM]

blueprinted engines, higher rev limit, more accurate maping, they're no more than 185bhp, i know the guy who looks after the engines for r-sport, they were all engine dyno'd with 2bhp of each other when new

 

[mattjk]

Right okay cool, I assume they wouldnt have a road exhaust or cat either though.

 

[Fred@BTM]

orbisoud race system with sport cat

 

[mattjk]

Why use any sort of cat on a race car?
