Up early to whip the old seats out and fit the Recaro’s. Drivers subframe in. Then I assembled the seat, runners, side mounts and attached the seat belt receptacle. And that’s the drivers side done. Just the seat belts to change and thread through the seats. Not going to lie, it was...

Dropped the old girl off today for her MOT. Passed with flying colours! No advisories. Happy days. Now to crack on and get the seats in before detailing and badges. Lots more to come............

My first time too but I’m looking forward to it. Just bring plenty of pictures of your missus and you’ll get along fine with everybody 😂

I’ve had a lot of stuff off them over the years and never had a problem. The issue is they’re understaffed and can’t get on top of the orders. This gasket sat at DPD and was marked as delivered. Took 4 emails, to no avail, then an old fashion phone call, with a rant to finally get them to look...

Cont….. There’s so many adjustments it’s really easy to get the alignment of the tips exactly how you want them. I like to have them just sticking out. While I was there I replaced the Lamba sensor with a genuine one. I know these are slightly cheaper from 3rd parties but I prefer to get...

With the arrival of new parts and the sunny weather, I figured I’d get my finger out and do a bit. I didn’t have a lot of time due to the grandkids birthdays so I refitted the drivers side skirt trim. They used to be Monaco Blue and in amazing condition so I had them repainted. Forgot...

That pipe goes to the carbon canister. A bit more info - https://cliosport.net/threads/carbon-canister.783805/#post-11147758

Remind us when and which circuit you're going to so we can book another day!

Yeah Helix or Sach’s Paddle variants are fine. The lads who I go racing with are using the latter in TDT/Club Sport Trophy. I used the Sach’s organic plate for my dedicated track car and it took a beating for many years without issue. I’m sure there are plenty of other options.

I was chatting to a lad at Silverstone who recommended the MRF tyres. Are yours ZTR? I’m assume they’re medium/hard compound?

I’m 15k into mine and still going. I’m fookin stoopid 🤪

Lovely project.

Don’t be selling or breaking it. CS is watching 👀 😂 Enjoy it fella.

Update. So after having a standard 182 and a race prepared 182, then selling them on, i was torn on what to do with the RB. Should I sell it and then use the money from all 3 cars to get another fast road car with track capability. I‘ve had the R’s and N’s but got bored and sold them on. But...

Yes. As above.

When you have children your priorities change. It’s hard enough bringing up kids without fannying about with old cars. Sad to hear but you can now throw your energy into other things.

Aye pinch bolt 👍

Oops my bad. I misread it as hub bolts bottom of dampers 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yes to all the above. You don’t need any sealant. Hub nuts are 180NM. Does the replacement shaft already have the gaiter clamp fitted? If not, just be careful when putting it back on the new shaft as it’s easy to distort the rubber gaiter, which will mean a leak. If you drop me a message...

The plastic bush is where your gear selector shift rod sits. The circlip holds the bush in.

CL6 I found too bitey. They were either on or off. Better on bigger, heavier cars I reckon, not a 920kg 182. Pagid RS42 had a better feel than the CL6. More Linear but didn't have the same stopping power. Suffered brake fade with these. DS1.11 best all round pads i've used (DS2500 in the rear)...

If they’re out of a 182 I’ll buy them

Hmmm sounds like it’s something to do with the diagnostic and ODB port, not the sensor as that’s zeroing out, which is what you want. I‘m really not that technically minded, but the good news is it sounds like you have a healthy sensor as they’re nigh on impossible to find now. I’m wondering if...

It's in good hands and it will be interesting to see how they develop it. They were after mine but I'd already promised another member it.

All of the above really. I wouldn't overlook B14s either for general track days. I had a race-prepared 182 with 750mc SPAX controlled suspension. Set me back around £1,500 with solid top mounts. It was very unforgiving on the roads, but perfect for circuit racing or dedicated track days, as...

Shaftec supply refurbished genuine ones. I'd highly recommend one of those. More money than the J&R but they're essentially a refurbished genuine part. You want R396R (OSF - Drivers) replaces 8200352042 and R396L (NSF - Passenger) replaces 8200372167.

My first encounter with this phenomenon was when this bloke knocked at my door. "Hello John, you've got a roof tile missing John. Here I'll show you, John. Just up there John, see that one on the ridge John. Needs replacing John". And all this time I'm thinking how the feck does he know my...

Not much happening to the car at the moment other than a slight change of direction. My plan is to add some nice upgrades starting with a new exhaust system from Pure Motorsport. I've had these on both my last two 182s and love them. The design is a work of art and they sound great. For the...

s**t, me too 🤦🏻‍♂️
