Calm down Ross I've bought the same wheels, I toyed with the idea of Turinis or a set of comps but I love the Pro Race too much!
Lol, yeah Turini's would have been nice, although they are pricey.

I got a question though. How come you bought a 180 to have it fitted with ITB's? I'm asking this because I don't really know about any 180 with them. Even Longman said its better to take the EW10J4 as the base instead of EW10J4S. Anyway I've still got lots of questions but I'll write you a PM
BTW best of luck with the car

#22: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 1:55 pm ---- Yeah but I wanted a GTi180 before I wanted TB's...
Either way, I could sell the bodies if it is too much fuss, there's no shortage of people who want them!
As long as you get management that can cope with VVT it should be fine
#23: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Joe, Location: SwindonPosted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 3:29 pm ---- when you fitting the morettes?
#24: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 3:30 pm ---- When I can be arsed mate, tbh I'd rather sell them and get the cash for the TB's
#25: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: vintageoriginal, Location: London, UKPosted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 4:30 pm ---- how are you planning on fitting that oil cooler jamie? isn't the 180 a canister filter...?
#26: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 6:42 pm ---- Yeah it screws i between the filter and the block
#27: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:59 pm ---- Jamie, when are you going to install the oil cooler. I'm asking because I was thinking of buying it myself as i like to blast it every here and there and when you're doing 200 for a while, it tends to heat up the oil quite quickly. But a friend had one installed on his 1.6 ITB powered 205 and discovered a little problem in the winter, the car just couldn't heat up (oil temperature never got to 90 degrees on the highway) :S
So if you still have as much snow as you did a month ago, that would be a real test for this problem
#28: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 9:13 pm ---- Which is why I bought a special thermostat fitted into the sandwich plate that only lets the oil through when the temperature of the oil reaches 80 degrees centigrade!
I can hook you up with the same kit if you want?
#29: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Austin, Location: TelfordPosted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 5:55 am ---- Car looks great jamie, glad your going down the performance root. I want to go to the ring this year, got the car to go aswell now, when are you thinking of going?
#30: Re: Jamie: GTi180 Author: Jamie, Location: Ring y0Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 6:26 am ---- Already booked it all, leaving 28th April
