Yeah over to the left and up, tighten the rod up and it’s all good. Done both of mine like that over the years. And make sure the gearbox is in reverse also.

I used a bunjee cord to hold it over in reverse and tighten underneath, never had an issue doing it that way

What tyres would people recommend for a low boost 182? Just an occasional drive on the road, I’ve got ar1’s for track days.

The steering wheel is horrendous. The engine cover and injector cover being missing is pretty normal these days, they don’t find their way back on after oil changes. It looks okay in pictures, check for rust in the fuel filler flap and around the arches. The only little red flag for me is why...

I imagine the connectors on to the rear lights will be corroded, clean them up and it should fix it unless they’re too far gone.

If you wanted a pair to refurb I’m pretty sure I’ve got some I would sell.

Having been in your predicament, deciding to replace it putting it back together and it leaking again after a dyno session, I’m definitely on the side of leave it alone unless it’s pissing out. I was not happy pulling it apart again.

Cool, I’ll see how it goes and bare that in mind 👌🏻

I’ve advertised it for £2800 and £1750 for the box but obviously I’m open to offers

I agree, but in this case I have the engine out of my race car which i have built and used, it’s also the engine out of this car originally.

That’s good to know, in my head I was at £2.5k the lot or £4k inc the gearbox. It is standard pistons and rods. Made 248hp when mapped. I’d also sell it dressed with the cup alternator setup and loom so you could throw it in. If bought with the gearbox would also come with the RTS turbo clutch...

I’m thinking about converting my 182 back to N/A meaning I’d sell the engine, turbo kit etc but no idea what it’s worth. Engine was built by @GrahamS and Alex at Awmotorworks back in 2020. ED turbo kit with Garrett GT2560R turbo. 13 row mocal oil cooler. Engine Machined and rebuilt from a...

I have a group n tool that I would sell if you’re interested?

That’s worth repairing it’s just maintenance items.

lol small world that’s the actual x85 I won the birkett 6 hour in 😆 haven’t seen that car about in 10 years!
