Well a couple of weeks ago i got a whiteline rear ARB fitted, purchased from ears motorsport
Then had to have a quick blast over the moors to test it, it made a huge improvement to turn in!
Then today i had a rather long journey to Gloucester to pick up a pair of Recaro profi Spg's and...
Ive not noticed it making a blowing sound, ive noticed it sounds almost like throttle boddies when you plant your foot at about 2.5k revs, really deep and throaty
Knocking noise could be the exhaust manifold knocking on the antiroll bar, usually notice it on hard acceleration, most people fix it by putting a powerflex dog bone mount on, which is worth doing as it totally transforms the feel of changing gear
PM sent, i probably could but its finding someone capable and that isnt going to charge hundreds, toying with the idea of a cage and fixed back buckets...
im sure the actual 197 seats use a different setup to the recaro sportsters so the subframes wont match up to the 197 seats,
R-Sports seats were bought brand new from capital seating, were not took out of a 197 :(
Haha cheers its came along way in the 6 months ive had it, got it from storey carpets on portrack lane, had to buy a big roll as they had a minimum size i could buy :(
Well todays boredom was cured by removing the rear seats and making a boot carpet for the 182, standard seats look abit out of place now so looking for some trophy trendlines if anyone knows of some for sale ?
Filled in the dip with some off cuts
Got enough carpet left to make another...
Little update, brake callipers are now red as i got bored one sunday morning
Close up of the rear bumper after fitting the carbon hydro dipped strip and exhaust surrounds and polished the tips
I was on my way through guisbrough friday morning between 10:30-11:30 cant say i seen you though :(,
Yeah its such a great colour! Would be good if we could actually get a solid number of how many were left.
That might be me, over guisbrough,redcar,skelton way a fair bit, there is another one from around there though i think, a few of my friends have seen it thinking its me haha
Plugged the car into the rs tuner, still havnt found the cause of the problem but these 2 fault codes must have something to do with it, DF0061 DF0062 ignition coil 1-4 fault and ignition coil 2-3 fault,
Anyone got any ideas ?
Went and payed the car another visit, started up first time let it run for 10mins to charge the battery and then turned it on and off a good 10 times, no problems at all, still no faults found :banghead:
Sounds good! Ill take mine out tomorrow and have a look what its like, just went back to the car and it still wont fire up, was driving ok before i stopped aswell,
So this past week the 182 has been abit of a pain, just turning over and not firing the first few turns of the key,
once it did decide to fire up it would tick over for 15 seconds or so then cut out, these past 2 days its been getting worse, been loosing power as im driving along sounds like its...
