I bought it on ktec coil overs. They're really not that bad to drive as well. Shocks a few people as they're expecting it to be really brittle but no.
No spacers.. Yet. Wanting 19mm fronts and 10mm on the back. Eventually.
Been tempted to buy prima amigo but I think I'm stuck on...
Alright alright, we all know we've all seen it before and it's sheeping etc etc.. But you know it looks damn good..
Turini's :smile:
Recently refurbed bright silver against black gold. Not your usual anthracite colour everyone gets.
Cars cleaned with;
- rotary polished with Menzerna power...
I'm not even 100% sure what it actually looks like. I just know it should be here? So... Is it there or is it gone lol? I know it's a popular thing to remove as useless and more induction noise etc. Thanks for any help!
Bought yet even more Detailing stuff... I'm sure I'm over £250 spent so far. Anyway got these from ShopnShine again. Awesome service and great guy who runs it if you pop in:
- Bilberry Wheel cleaner 1L
- Spray bottle with chemical resistant head (for bilberry)
- Poorboys wheel sealant
(All...
Got some better photos of the finished turini's.. £180 total for the refurb.
All loaded up to be balanced and fitted on toooooosday
Also set about wiring in my head unit and sub wiring.. Ball ache task
Then all up and working :smile:
And then the battery died again...
Need an exact measurement to replace a current one. For the windscreen. Think I read somewhere 3mm? Can't be sure. Will be changing the washers to mist ones at the same time too
Thanks for the help people. It's my first 182 really. Been on here 3 years so know how age is hitting these cars and there parts now. Weird how it's just all happening on my driveway and I'm not even driving it yet -.-
Crankshaft sensor went, lambda sensors gone in the cat, and now a battery...
Right put it on charge and now it starts. So it is the battery -.-
Has it got anything to do with the head unit I just put on though? It's all wired for a sub except there's no sub at the moment so I've got connections connected to the HU but not attached to anything?
Waiting on getting the...
Thing is though I was using it on Thursday all day? Charged it overnight Wednesday and Thursday is fine? Literally just happened now. Started instantly (full charge) then now I've just put in my aftermarket Head unit and within about an hour or so just won't start? I'll add a vid in a second
Immobiliser goes out straight away.
The cars been sat since June. Started up a few times between June and now. Battery's died around 4/5 times in between that?
So it's more than likely the battery?
Absolutely fine about an hour ago. Went to start now and it don't turn over just a crap load of clicking noises!?
I have these lights on..
ABS
Stop
Serv
ESP?

A whole plate refresh was actually one of my first things to do including the recessed 3/4 plate. However I'm looking into buying my first private plate so plan is now to wait until I do that then get some fancy plates in :smile:
Thought I'd update this as I said I would. So I went ahead and chopped up the Yozza! Got the cat to sleeve fixed aswell.
Anyway here's my now "custom" looking Yozza.. Sounds beefier and louder but that's probably just me and minus a hole in the sleeve joint haha.
Comments welcome. I prefer them...
Not sure on the random fuse, can't even remember it.
It was in pretty good(ish) condition when I bought it. No horrendous stone chips or scratches though as that sort of thing bugs the hell out of me and I wanted/have another black car.. The interior needed a good deep/steam clean though. I...
Cheers (:
And yeah id only change these again for slash cut rolled tips. They'd look a lot better but in comparison to the Yozza tips I'm much pleased haha
Did it on the 1.4 replica, it's got black insert xenons. I liked it at first but a side by side comparison of them the grey suits the black car much better. Like a contrast of colour rather than just jet black everywhere (: won't be tinting the windows on this one either.. Too much black!
Yeah it won't be boosted or anything so kind of pointless to a custom map but yeah lol.
And cheers (: just gotta get used to the fuel drinking and I'll be alright!
Did want a 98ron map on it, but from what I've read, although the 98ron is an amazing upgrade I'd rather get a map that's custom to the engine and the mods associated with it if you know what I mean. Burning money lol
Insured the car for the day! Was booked in at the ass crack of dawn at my local exhaust fabricator. Fix the cat to sleeve which he ended up chopping out completely and replacing entirely with some craftsmanship haha. Hated the Yozza outwardly rolled exhaust tips so got them cut off too and...
As titile, wanting a heavier cut polish for some sligtly more serious swirls and light surface marks. Will be using it on the clio (182) and a 08 plate Focus if that helps as i know paints are different so unsure whether the clio and focus is either a hard or soft paint?
Thinking either...
ADY182 on here does them

Excuse the spam photos but finally found this thread lol. This be my first 182 that lasted a week in my ownership! Bought it for £1,800 on 77K. Mental car! Loved it and miss it sometimes :cry:
The guy i bought it off put on the miltec and decat straight from the company. Also the fast...
Haha! That's awesome, wondered what happened to it. I sold it to a guy who lives in Sheffield then no idea who he sold it too. I also bought it off a dude who lives near me in Nottingham, a guy you'd Defo avoid in the streets, 6ft? Huge, tattoos on his face but was an awesome guy. He put the...
Just got one photo for now but I finally got all these back. Get some better pics when the suns gleaming off them but for now;
Sheepish I know. But you everyone knows they look good :wink: especially bright "sparkle silver" against mirror black :cool: Yellow callipers next ..
Update! Footwell lights/courtesy lights :smile:
Always wanted to do this but never pulled my finger out to do so. So after much faff reading up on threads already asking about it and how to install I gave in and bought 2x 20cm ice white led strips with cable attached. Still no idea what to do...
Awesome, so in order to go back to it as I've only just noticed it now (3 days after polishing lol) just lube up the car with water and the pad with a mist of water and keep working at it like that?
Also one last question.. How long does a pad typically last/use it for? For instance that green...
