I’m loving the lockdowns impact on this thread. 😅👌🏼

These are 5100s so clearly I’ve got £700 bracket. 😂

Stainless ABS brackets arrived. Also arrived were the strut lower lock nuts from @Simon@ASTUK, thank you sir. 👌🏼 Brackets are pukka, but like many of these things, the supplied hardware was s**t. The only stainless M6x12 I had was a countersunk so had to add some panel washers. Quite possibly...

Lmao. Thanks for that 😂😂#mugged

Totally didn’t twig when you mentioned M10 before lol. If you want new clips, check these out. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192651322754

You’re doing such a beautiful job on this mate. So satisfying to watch. 😍

Guys, Can anyone confirm this is the correct radiator for my 182 FF? It states the part numbers match, but when I enter my registration it says “part not comparable” Can anyone confirm for me that this is correct...

Fair enough, best of luck 🙂

Yeah I’d get some grips on that if you can, if not just drill/cut it off. Replace with some M10 stainless hardware, penny washers and nylock nuts.

If you haven’t already, perhaps look at swapping to a LiFe04 battery. You’ll save more weight and cost less by time you factor in paint and fitting. Let’s be honest, composite parts are always shite quality and will look hideous on a daily.

Just caked my ASTs which are also inverted in ACF50 in that area

So, today’s cleaning job, the scuttle. I was keen to check the scuttle drains were nice and clear as this can cause trouble at a later date. I think looking at it, this was last done before I sold it in 2015 and hasn’t been done since. Wiper arms and scuttle panels removed and cleaned. Also...

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. I can’t wait to get it setup and start playing with it.

Beautiful car. Id also avoid gloss black. I’ve got gloss black Turinis on mine and they show every single mark, if you must go black, go satin black.

Well those under arches need a bloody good scrub anyway. But after today’s weather, I figured I’d do them another time. As mentioned, I’ve got a few other parts to go on so it will all be fresh and new under there anyway.

Hope so. I purchased them brand new so cost more than most 182s. Hopefully if I look after them the way I intend to, they should remain in good condition for a long time to come.

I don’t doubt it. 😂

So continuing to Carpé Diem thanks to the lockdown, I managed to crack on with another job I’ve been putting off due to time. I battled some crazy changeable weather today and fitted my AST 5100 dampers. These were fitted alongside PMS spherical bearing topmounts and matching brace. The drilled...

Mine was replaced by Amazon without question. I just got the arse and bought a Kranzle and now keep the Nilfisk as a spare

Guys, Can anyone quickly tell me the nut torque for the strut top? The large 24mm strut securing nut Not on the PMS site from what I can see. Thanks.

I have a Nilfisk C130 as a backup washer if ever I need it. But after going through 3 Karchers and 2 Nilfisks in 6 years I pulled the trigger (excuse the pun) on a Kranzle. My main washer is a Kranzle 1050TS. Of the budget friendly washers, I found the Nikkfisk to be better than the rest. Keep...

Check the following: Inner/outer track rod ends Steering rack bushes Tyres - huge change in steering feel based on sidewall stiffness Topmounts Bottom ball joint Anti roll bar bushes Lower arm bushes. All of the above affect steering feel and geometry. So unfortunately could be any of the...

Ah that’s a shame. Typical, I’ve a spare Nilfisk you could borrow too. let me know how you feel about the bushes. I’ve got brand new genuine OEM bushes sitting here, but now the focus of the car has changed I’m going to fit poly.

Belts Steve just use a pressure washer and some APC. Can you feel any difference with the ARB bush change?

Self adhesive

Love this build. Beautiful and inspiring job 👍🏼

If you don’t like the badge options above I’d be tempted to get another gel decal you do like and fit it in place.

Whilst I’m absolutely itching to go for a drive, It’s not about you, it’s about others. If you have an accident, break down or anything else. You’re then calling on the assistance of others and potentially removing medical and emergency services that are far more required elsewhere right now...

i had to track one down for mine. It’s from a Honda Integra. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F151604474401

Exceptional job as usual mate with the superb levels of detail we have all come to expect. So glad you like the BTM, they really are a nice bit of kit imo and you’ve done a beautiful job polishing that one up. Makes me wanna drop my 3rd hanger now to give it a paint haha. Stay safe dude, lookin...
