Next mods 182 track car

[Z4MCSL]

So Brakes are being done next week
Then I am looking at 15s with some better track tires
Then will probably be bucket seat (driver side only), harness and smaller steering wheel

What would people suggest next?
ARB will be there at some point but what are people's thoughts on a short shifter/precision gear linkage etc?

Where do you find the car lacking?

 

[Z4MCSL]

No where, I'm the weak link 🤣🤣

I've done 1 track down and am hooked so basically planning what I am saving for to give myself a bit if purpose 😁

I'll definitely be doing it in stages

Brakes first, will make a huge difference


Then wheels and tyres


Then seats and steering wheel



Then.....

A diff 👀

 

[frayz]

Tuition, tyres and brakes. Items that build confidence in the car and you.
Tuition is the most improvement you'll see and you can take that to and from any car.

 

[Djw Dave]

Tuition/Seat time

 

[Z4MCSL]

Agreed, I guess that goes without saying...definitely getting lots more tuition.

 

[David172]

Coilovers if you don't already have them.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

What brakes are you going for?

 

[JB21]

Seat time 100%. Brakes and tyres done and suspension and bushes fresh and just enjoy. I loved mine in this form. Once you've reached the limit of the car you'll know what you need.

 

[Hyperhatch]

Unless they’ve already been done bushes and other potentially worn out bits!

 

[Z4MCSL]

I'm sure I'll get told I should have got something different but I just ordered some standard brembo discs but went for PBS pads and ne brake lines too. Need to play about to make some ducts for cooling now as well

Fine with that set up. Just remove your fog lights and front arch liners.

 

[Z4MCSL]

Yeah thatsbyhe plan, although I'm not gonna lie, I am gonna miss the fog lights I really think they suit the 182s

Needs must tho

Brakes, tyres, smaller steering wheel, lowering springs, plenty of track time..... that’s it to have fun by pushing yourself and the car.
If you want to more competitive/competition focused then you will have to pump some serious money into the car.
