help/advice needed

[gary471]

Hi guys im hoping for some usefull ideas of stuff i can do to my mk2 zs180
its already got sports cat, centre section & duplex exhaust, huge itg maxogen, tinted windows and some subtle graphics. also got a second set of alloys im spraying green for track days/shows (undecided yet)
Thinking de-cat, straight through centre section. not got huge money to play with at the mo, little by little will be the way. thinking of painting engine cover and possibly getting a 3rd set of alloys and doing them gold. not sure lol
Im after constructive feedback, subtle mods not in yer face ones lol
Ideas welcome

Think I've read that a lightened flywheel is one of the best mods, OK if you need a new clutch, but a bit pricey.

What are you after? Performance, handling, ICE and/or looks?

Lighweight flywheel is cheaper than an OE clutch.

Mite go down the flywheel route, got a type b torsion diff to go in, clutch needs changing anyhow,
After a real nice motor that turns heads. I'm happy with it the way it is but I'm always after more lol

no-brainer then, might as well and fit new bolts, job done.

I could go down the route of coilovers, cams etc but too much money at the minute. Got a 220 engine sat in my garage that I'm wanting rid of, was going to do conversion but lost interest, and I'd miss the v6, such a sweet sound lol

[gary471]

New bolts? Flywheel bolts you mean? Can you get updated ones for the v6? I know you can get arp ones for t16

[stamford]

Coilovers and cams are only good if you intend to track it often. Cams are expensive, verniers unobtainable and you only feel their worth when up high in the rev range. Coilovers for an everyday car is only good if you want a lower than lowering spring look. They really need adjustable arms/links as well to bring the geometry back to avoid premature wear on your tyres.

Yea, new flywheel bolts, always best to do when changing over. Bought mine from QED.

[tb steve]

bargin think i paid well over £600 for mine with the verniers

[stamford]

Crap! I would have those if I had the spare money, someone buy my 18s off me please! I pass through Bordon everyday as well!

[peterzs]

Ask if he wants a swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peterzs]

Sorry Gary if you were thinking of putting a bid on.

[gary471]

Lol, would have if my 220 engine had gone

[andy-81]

gold wheels imo would be too subaru-ish if your gonna paint the engine cover then you should get a hose kit for iy as well, some one has done it on here and there is pics as well but with out looking my self i cant remember where yhey are soory bout the spelling have only just got in

Well being giving it some serious thought over the past few weeks.
Got the torsion b type diff, going to get lightened flywheel and new clutch with updated flywheel bolts.
Also been looking at the brembo brake route, going to get them in silver And also get the silver cobra stripes like the old wsr btcc.
What you all think?

Well you know what I think of stripes haha:blush:

[peterzs]

Sounds good, think you will be doing the best mods for the best results and with the best use of your money.

[gary471]

I hope so lol.
