It’s going to be a last minute decision whether I can come or not, but if I do I can bring my RS tuner and code airbag lights out

That’s a watch for when I get to work 😎

Think that’ll make more than we think, not many on that mileage and unmodified.

It’s not a daily so a bit impracticality I can deal with, would be nice to take it to work very occasionally but thats a 110 mile round trip. Looks like I’ll have 2 gripper boxes for sale soon then 😅

Good point, it hadn’t even crossed my mind that a quaife was an option! I’ve used my grippers on the road, they’re not too bad but definitely can’t push on like you could with a standard car, especially on the roads near me!

I’m in a little predicament where I can’t decide what to do. Sandwich plate came loose on my 182 turbo last week on a track day, dumped all the oil and seized the engine. Now this isn’t an issue per se as I wanted to put my n/a setup back in it. It may go back to turbocharged one day as it was...

Yeah we sold it to Dawn. Definitely a unicorn car worth keeping!

Haven’t seen that in a while, my dad owned it in around 2016 I think it was.

I’ve got my ex 172 cup race car shell that will be available in the next month or so if you wanted a proper project. It’s not rolling but will come with: Subframe Lower arms Rear beam Body panels Windows She’s had a life but with some work could go back on the road, V5 is present.

@182Trev

There’s a thread on here somewhere where someone weighed them. 170kg iirc

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...
