Starting build on a 182 Track Weapon!!
- Thread starter Ricky81 STi
- Start date
The Beast MK4
Cracking project! Can't wait to see the results.
182 Full Fatt!
On track? It's not a rally car! :headno:
Having said that I read you want to use on road regularly, so it has to be practical
Trouble is it barely looks Cup low, let alone track biased! I see you are using springs at the rear which has set that though, so mebbe just drop the front a bit more?

Mounted the cooler to the bottom of the cross member in front of the radiator then ran the oil lines up beside the passenge side chassis leg and across to the sandwich plate location. The 13 row complete with lines fitted perfectly between the cross member and the plastic guard which is attached to the bottom of the front bumper.
Heres a few pics of the finished project before the first big day. We'll take the first day as a bit of a test day and see what other wee odds and ends might need attended to. Hopefully all goes well and we have no major problems, been rallyin rounds the roads at home to check as much as possible before I head off to the track. Still have the inlet manifolds to send off to Angelworks for a bit of a rework but I run out of time so that'll have to till we get the first trackday over.
Hope she looks this well after the trackday!!!

Hi mate, Bought it through Prima Racing and yeah it's an OMP cage which comes with the brackets to weld to the floor at the bottom of the B pillar. Comes with doors bars as well which i will probably fit at some stage once i source a set of above mentioned carbon door cards as the original cards will have to be removed.
Will probably keep the 182 this year then I really fancy an ex clio cup racer for next year, but one step at a time!!
Some track photos will follow!!!

Had a few trackdays over us now and the 182 is performing great, We're pushing a lot of car we shouldn't even be thinking about!! Had 1 trackday in pouring rain and I don't think we were overtaken all day!!
Anyway we're out on sunday again and this time with H&R camber adj bolts fitted so I hoping for even better things this weekend!! Also got a few decals which I'm told adds 10bhp
Some pics of the latest....

Shhh
i think the stickers make it look tacky.
I see it as 2 options.
1. You strip it, 1.2 bumpers, standard wheels etc. make a sleeper, lose the stickers, badges, get 1.2 badges etc.
2. You go all the way with the stickers.
BTW - People know its made by renault, and its a sport by the badge on the back, i doubt you use elf oil it in too..

The good old trusty Team Dynamics with the Toyo R888's will be on this time tomorrow nite. Yeah just use the std 182 wheel for a bit of road driving.
Shhh
Also, why got for a 182 and strip it, why not a 172 cup, and change the manifold etc.
Not much between the 182 & 172 otherwise, apart from about £3000 cash.

Tacky or not it's a track car so it suppesed to be a bit of fun.
1. Not interested in making it look like a DCI so I can blow of Saxo drivers.
2. Don't want it to look like the cover of Radio Times.
And yes it's just had 4.5 ltrs of Elf's finest for the trackday.
Shhh
whats suppesed.?

Irish chap owns it, who's a bloody good driver. Scared the s**t out of me round the 'Ring... before the rear suspension collapsed on him with Steve in the car!

Freeky!! Yeah the Exige's and the Westfield's are the only thing on the track that seem to pass you like your stoped. Hopefully he didn't damage the car in the process?? Must keep an eye for him at the next trackday and have a chat.
supposed, you pedantic idiot.

No mate not yet, once this trackday is over that will be first in line of 'things to do' Just never got the chance to get round to it recently.
