    Cup racer fuel line route

    Does anyone know the route the ph2 cup racers ran their fuel line? I have the full set up and would be good to run it the same route to ensure the hose reaches the pump. Any help appreciated :)

    Steering Rack Help - EPAS People Look Here

    Recently stripped the steering rack down in preparation for fitting EPAS. I've tried everywhere to get plugs for the holes with no luck. Is there anywhere i can get these made? Planning on making a loop for the middle like most on here, I've had to chop the pipes to remove though to get the...

    The £600 Cup Track Build

    Back in a clio again! This time just purely for a track toy, and something to play with while waiting on the Golf arriving (If it ever does). Got a text from @Fraser.J. asking if i fancied his cup (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?752838-172-cup-bargain-project-to-be-mint!), been...

    Arran's BG 182 OEM+

    Decided to make a project thread for the car to keep everything together, instead of the various threads in media. Bought the car from Mark (Dr Jekyll) in October 2013 as most will know. Only used as a weekend car so the miles won't change much. Currently on 78k, with the following mods...

    Not that the engine bay was particularly bad before, i just wanted to give it more of an OEM look rather than all the red etc. So, first image was taken the first week i bought the car: IMG_3317 by Arran Bell, on Flickr Untitled by Arran Bell, on Flickr First up was replace the header...

    BG 182 Update...

    As a few of you may know i bought Mark's (Dr Jekyll) 182 a couple of month ago for a weekend car. Went through a stage recently of wanting to sell, mainly finding it hard coming back to a 182 from a big BMW cruiser. Anyway, that stage has past and it is now staying ;) Forgot how much fun these...

    Limp mode at high revs

    Happened a few times now, each time the engine has been warmed up and running for a while. Basically sometimes when I go above 5k on a blast the car just puts itself in to limp mode. Turning on and off clears it and all is fine after that. The first time I just assumed I had hit the limiter and...

    Back in to a 182, this time BG!

    So after recently selling the BMW I slowly began looking at 172's/182's again, not long in I started speaking to Mark (Dr Jekyll) about his beautiful BG 182 that he was contemplating selling. A few pm's and phone calls later we came to a deal and I booked flights down to Stansted to meet Mark...

    182 gone for BMW 320D

    Well after a significant increase in miles at work i decided to move to something a bit more economical. Picked it up a few weeks ago, its the E92 320D with 177bhp. So far first impressions have been very good, so smooth and a much nicer place to be. Lots of torque there as well, feels much...

    Inferno gets a little satin black

    With CSS next week i pushed my self to finally giving the grills etc a fresh lease of life as they were getting way to faded. Used regular satin black, took the front bumper off and got to work. Gave the engine bay a quick clean as well. Turned out 'nae' bad. P1011828 by Arran Bell, on...

    Inferno gets the 2118 treatment!

    As i needed two front tyres for the car i thought it was a good excuse to get 2118's and 4 T1R's. Gotta love the thinking! After never really seeing an inferno on anthracite 2118's i thought it would be a good choice, and hence not that sheepish :cool: Taken straight after fitting so yes the...

    Freshened up the Inlet Plenum + Rocker Cover

    Due to the severe boredom of the holidays i decided to begin cleaning up the engine bay. Thanks to the rain i only managed the inlet plenum and rocker cover done, still need to do the fuel rail guard and mount + a general clean. Happy with the results, gets rid of the oil and grease...

    What is this part on the rocker cover?

    Behind the oil cap, pretty sure the vvt cable plugged in to it? Is it safe to just pull out? Just making sure there's no 'special' way it's to be put back in? Yes I'm a noob, all this effort to paint!

    Advice on this bean

    Been offered an inferno off a friends dad recently. Been looked after, fsh etc. Not sure what model it is but has the cruise control and aircon, with silver 182 wheels. The only down fall is that the belts have still to be done. The cars on 49k at the moment, says i can take it for £3100. Does...
