^^^^i had that mate, I reset the router, uninstalled, hard reset to clear cache, then reinstalled. That didn't work lol! I then came home late one night and thought f**k or I'll try it and it worked.

Dont worry about the gearbox. Mines done about 20 track days and Im just about to replace my box at 88k. But only because i want to refresh it. I found a brand new box for £348. So its not the end of the world. I wouldnt worry that its been on track either, it looks well cared for and thats all...

I forgot about those. Theres a vid on you tube with a 197 that has one fitted, the build was done somewhere in europe. They sound great.

It's not a cheap option anyway mate.

Lol yeah, live and learn :o They've blagged me a lot over the years, all been bodged. Not impressed at all! Complete cowboys, i was at LEAST 80bhp off what they claimed i had Scharged. I was defensive but i spent a lot of money, after that it sunk in and i questioned it. Then found it was all a...

Bet this is epic!

Cheers for the comments guys! I've actually had those recaro covers sat in my house for the last 3 years lol but it's been in garages so much I don't want people wearing brand new covers! So finally there in!

Cheers Andy, just read your thread actually, what a great car!! :) can't wait to see it at trax!

Yeah i thought there was, i drove past and saw them as well lol!

I've always thought a 197 engine + 6 speed would be great in a 182. I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure :) Will it run vvt mate?

Wont a meg box have longer ratios though which would hamper acceleration? To be honest youll be ok with a 197 box. Think this will be a cracker of a project! :)

Thats the one! As it turns out everyone was right. I questioned it a lot after. I never got it dyno'd elsewhere but after driving a few 280bhp megs that felt faster and couldnt shake off a 300 bhp mk1 frs on track i delved deeper. There was no way the car was over 300 before, i reckon 280 max...

Not sure mate on tb size. I dont think theres a lot in it if anything, it isnt very big. The 250 inlet was what i wanted mainly. From what i gather the clio 200/ meg 250 blocks are basically the same, so was a no brainer to get the 250 manifold.

Haha! Not with your driving ;)

The 250 inlet is a much better fit, the 225 ports are tiny and these match up a lot better.
