That's really good. My 172 had the whine pretty bad.

Probably is mate. I'd change it if it was my car. Get an off the shelf one. Plenty available.

I like it. A few things left to do but its a project so I'm sure the finished product will look even better. DCI's are a great choice for a first car, better than a 1.2. Its crying out for blanc number plates though. Get yourself onto fancy plates. Another good point is when you get bored of...

Its like a high rollers version of Mc Donalds car park. Some awesome cars there, I want to be a high roller.

What exhaust is that? It has massive tail pipes but appears to be pretty quiet. cars looking good though mate.

If you want a good example you will pay more. I paid just over £3500 for my 182 and its pretty tidy. I could have maybe got one a bit cheaper but I got mine from a garage that did trade in etc. It was just an easier sale, for the sake of saving a few hundred quid I'd rather have an easy local...

Build quality maybe. Lets remember that your missing cruise, climate, air con, electric windows, auto lights and wipers etc. I don't see the point in 197 Cups. You lose a load of kit for no actual benefit. People say 182 Cups are pointless, 197's are even more poverty spec.

Excellent project. I saw a guy in a mint S2 a week or so back. Hero cars.

Thread reading fail.

I'm away but will gladly donate anyway if somebody sets up a justgiving page or something.

Borrow a cat off somebody and see if that helps. I'd happily lend my cat to somebody local if they needed it, I'm sure somebody near you will have one spare (mine is for 364 days of the year ;) )

I've had that in the past. I find it very patronising. "you won't get insurance", "no chance on that lad" etc. How about a polite question as to whether I already had an insurance quote. That would be much better.

I'm not sure what compounds actually. I'll have to ask the lad who did it. It hasn't been waxed. Thanks for all the kind comments.

Really like that. I'd love to have that kind of power.

Thought I'd throw up a quick picture of my freshly PC'd 182. I've had it a few months now and have made a few upgrades. 3/4 Plate, Fabia splitter, removed sidelights, flat wipers, silvervisions, exhaust. Broke the back of all the smaller stuff I wanted to do to it. Future plans involve...

Really nice that mate. Very nice example of a BG. I need some lows on mine.

Glad your enjoying it mate. I love mine too, had it almost 4 months. Love it even more than the ph1 172 I had previously. I love how its as happy being thrashed around as it is sitting on the motorway relatively comfortably. Such a good all rounder for a low price. What's not to like.

I'd love to see how the person (term used lightly) who did that thought it was an improvement. Like seriously, they actually paid money to have that done. Even more laughable is somebody is now trying to sell it. I'd rather have a standard 1.2 Expression than that abomination.

I'd like a 6th gear in my 182. It would be awesome with the 200's ratio's. Well maybe a slightly longer top gear for motorway stuff.
