Project Standard 182FF

LB197 · Feb 19, 2017

So i bought my 182FF around a year ago now, it's fulfilled all expectations it's my daily commuter and still makes me smile on country roads on a Sunday! I originally intended to make some track beast of it, but having had modified cars i'm feeling a different way with this one.
So in the coming months i'm looking to get this thing back to a good standard kind of look with a few personal touches, cup splitter needs fixing and putting back on and the wheels sprayed in the cup pack anthracite as i felt like something different when i sprayed them (anyone now the colour?).

Few spec bits...
2005 with 110k
Stainless manifold
Stainless cat back

Thanks! yeah water temp gauge, had it from my mx-5 so thought i'd bung it in

needs a better surround, thinking about putting it behind tinted perspex so it looks neat.

Managed to find a Ph1 172 set of dials and taken apart and cut up the insert so that all the lights are now displayed correctly. Something a little different.

So a few new things to add to this.

Cam belt, Aux belt, water pump, coolant, oil, oil filter, cam cover resealed and all mojor pulleys all fitted by Diamond Motors. Cant express enough how professional and decent my experience with this place was and would recommend to anyone!

Fitted a gauge pod with water temperature gauge.

Also covered a few bits in alcatara fabric feels a bit cosier now...

Mine had similar when I bought it, which is why i'm not too keen haha. Think it's just a bit too busy and they don't really suit the lines. I like the idea though to be fair. Stop blurring your plate too

Ruins the pictures haha.

I know what you mean, not too keen on the bonnet but the idea was there, haha ive always thought someone could smack my number plate on their car and go out getting speeding tickets knowing the plate is in use [emoji1383]

The likelihood is very slim. Easier to just walk on a street, or google image search any random car. I wouldn't worry too much... mines in my avatar!

You`d have to be doing that to think of it.

Exactly why my plate is always blocked out, and always will be in photos :up: I've been through it all with my old Astra VXR, my plate... not me..... was caught stealing petrol in Essex. When I live in Norfolk. Never want the police round again for stuff like that!! Obviously nothing to do with this forum, was years ago btw!

Louis · Apr 23, 2017

So much choice

182_steve · Apr 23, 2017

Indeed, mine won't be one of them

Little addition, i fixed my cup splitter on the front so put the fabia one on the back.

Not seen anyone do it before but quite like it.

182_steve · Jun 4, 2017

Interesting idea!! I've never seen that done either!

Stefan. · Jun 4, 2017

That doesnt look too bad

182_steve · Jun 4, 2017

Got any other photos of it from another angle?

imprezaworks · Jun 4, 2017

Mmm not sure tbh

Wacked the brighness up a bit so its a bit more visible

imprezaworks · Jun 4, 2017

Not for me but good effort

LB197 · Jun 4, 2017

Cant believe how quickly these are whittling down, just seen this [emoji33]

Car looks great mate, it's not easy to keep them standard is it?!
I guess a lot of them are now doing duty as track cars. If it's a track only car in not sure if it needs insurance or to be sorn? There's definitely a cycle of person buys road car to make track car. Track car won't sell so gets broken and scrapped while track parts go to another person converting a road car. 5 years time a good road 1*2 will be a rare sight.

182_steve · Jun 5, 2017

Splitter is defo different, good effort :up:

Agreed, it's definatly looking that way and those numbers prove it. Glad to be keeping mine as 'mint' as possible and low miles

LB197 · Jun 5, 2017

Thanks, yeah i guess the graph has just plummeted in the past few years!

Thanks, i know i really wanted to keep it standard so im just going for standard looking with a few normal looking tweaks! Unfortunately commuting everyday is racking up the miles but im having fun it it, better than keeping it in a garage for someone elses enjoyment in a few years. [emoji1383]
