Wow, just read all 16 pages from start to finish, impressive build on the Trophy, probably one of my favourite 182's to date. Awesome buy with the supercharged AG 200 though, that started life a stones throw from me when I had my AG 200, good to see it in good hands. Very keen to see what you...
Great thread, really interested in seeing the upcoming changes!
Met you at Lakeside a few weeks back (Alien Green 200) yours goes well and looks super clean.
Was a shame it was never finished, I drove the grey one with the F7P engine. one hand holding the cage that was just resting in the car, tracking miles out and seats barely bolted in. Ignoring all that my god it felt quick!!
Nice, any threads for your 5? I recently found BAJ on Instagram, still...
Mines up for sale at the end of the year :wink:
Awesome cars I really can't fault them, you'd be surprised on MPG, since having mine mapped I can easily see 32-34 on a run and around 26-28 around town... I won't tell you the heavy foot read out though haha.
Cutting corners would take my vote, relief they're all gone I'd imagine.
More character to come seeing as they'll only get rarer. Haven't got many pictures myself but came across an old thread of his on here...
Great car, really like the Ultra Red!
Always good to see cars being used properly. I brought my Alien Green Cup earlier this year and first thing for me was a trip to the 'Ring. Mixed opinion on springs for me, always been a fan of Coilovers or nothing, especially with the combination of Cup...
Wow, what a thread!
Just read from start to present..completely transformed the car. Far from my cup of tea when you first brought it but the attention to detail is unreal it now looks awesome!
I've had a few friends buy cars in the past and later found things like you have, completely agree on...
Thanks, I'll do my best to have a decent look at the weekend, if not I'll pop down there then. Pretty sure Matt's got the supercharged one right?
Okay thanks I'll have a look and see if I get any luck, appreciate the help!
Ever since getting the car in May, my 200 Cup has always made a strange noise. It's REALLY irritating and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what it is. HELP!!!
The only way I can describe the noise is it being 'similar' to when power steering makes the gurgling noise as if fluid is...
It's a freeze frame from a video so you're in luck, pretty sure somebody posted a link to the video on this thread.
Cool I'll have a look, always fancied Ace Cafe give me a shout when you're next heading up! Terrydb
That would be me, do you ever go to any meets etc? need to get out in mine more really! Terrydb
I have thought about that, good quality picture!
Thanks mate, really wanted one on the karussell but pleased with the others.
In the 182 or Vxr? had so many good plays on the stretch from Aldi to Bournes Green.
Haha thought that might of been the case for getting rid of the Vxr, yeah go for it where about's is yours?
Quality haha, I always used to say to anyone that was round "watch him slow down then boot it" as you were coming up the high street, what exhaust did the Red one have?
It's been a while since the last update..
A few changes since my last post, I've also had a trip to the Ring for the Destination Nurburgring 10 track day (DN10). Shortly before that an evening track day at Brands Hatch to test the water.
The car currently stands with:
-RS Tuning Remap...
It's followed all of the servicing intervals correctly and is in overall great condition, not fussed in the slightest about the press history and completely agree about how others are driven.
Thanks mate, the colour is SO different in the flesh.
Thanks for the info, would be interesting to...
Doesn't it!! need to find that road and give it a try ;)
Possibly could have, a few people have said similar things about the engine so will be interesting to see some figures, I'll hopefully get to RS Tuning later this year for a map so will know then!
Haha you're not wrong, everyone seems...
It's good to see some people know what they're talking about. Thanks, I'll hopefully head up to RS Tuning at some point for a map so agreed it will be interesting to see what the figures come out at, will post the results once I know.
I'm well aware of the history of the car, comments like "oh" and "lol" are quite funny coming from people that have diesel and 1.6 Clio's to be honest.
I'd be amazed if anyone really knows the full honest history of their car and how it's exactly been driven since leaving the showroom. In the...
