Hi,
Took the 182 out in the rain last weekend for a long run (it is normally only a dry runner!!) got back in it on the Sunday and the red "stop" and "battery" lights were on. The car was running fine so I still managed my journey home. After stopping the car, it then wouldn't start at all...
Hi Guys,
Starting to enjoy the 182 now but the main thing I notice over a Mk1 is steering feel. my car feels especially "numb" at the straight ahead position which affects turn-in when I am pressing on. Once the car is really moving then the handling is fine, very good in fact, but it is just...
Hi Guys, sorry to re-open this.... looking to install a Cabasse "update" version in my 182 and it does not appear to work after plugging everything in... Does this version work with the 182 or not? It lights up when I turn it on and will load a cd but not play it and the display will not come...
Hey Coops! I'm loving the 182 tbh - much more what I'm after now in terms of a toy just to enjoy! Steering feel and is not a patch on a Williams but I needed to move on....!! hopefully see you on the 19th May at Bedford.
Interested in anything further you had on the car. Receipt for remap is in the pack I got with it. What power gains did you get with it? Car has just had a major overhall mechanically - it drives very well! currently in the bodyshop getting the rear panel sorted.
Hi all,
been suggested to de-cat the 182.... a couple of questions -
1) is it worth it? do you loose torque for ultimate power?
2) which de-cat is best to buy with a standard exhaust system?
3) If the car has already had a re-map, will it need to re-maped again as a result of having a de-cat...
All done except cams and waterpump as this is, as suggested just on the aux belt run.... car has had new plugs and ht leads too and is running very well now as a result of all the work -time to enjoy!
P.S. will think about cams at a later date!
Thanks for the comments guys! Cheers.
Hi, having the cambelt, aux belt, tensioners and depahser done on my 182 this weekend.
Is there anything else you would recommend whilst the car is stripped down?
Spark plugs & HT leads have been suggested.......
Thanks for your comments guys! Did think it had been owned on here by someone before - rest assured it is in good hands! Interesting that it has been "tweaked" as it does seem fast and I left a disgruntled 197 at the lights in a small race the other day! The damaged three-quarter panel is...
Thanks guys!
Plenty of pics of my Williams' over time.... did a full resto on Williams 1 - 0425 which won a lot of awards... Will post some pics over the coming days and as the new 182 gets my tlc treatment! :-)
