Spotted I think a RB or AB 182 on the portway about 14:30, gave a friendly flash in case it was someone on here.

Been a month and a half since the list started. Anyone else want to commit to the list? Maybe whittle a place and date down?

Technically Monday. Finished fitting my spacers. 25mm front and 10mm rear.

Ok I'll have a look for them a bit later, just got home.

I'll have to check but I might have some original 172 springs from my last car. It came with Apex's on and the previous owner gave me the originals. If they fit the 182's your more than welcome to view them and go from there?

Welcome. Nice to see another bristolian on the forum.

Yeah that's right. Tried 25's and 15's both gave me tyre rub so settled on 10's rear and 25's front.

To be honest I've no idea. Just the standard cup Turini's. Fitted some 10mm ones now so all sorted.

Lowered on eibach sport lines and running Toyo r888's.

I've just fitted spacers yesterday after some playing about. The fronts were no problem because there is loads of clearance. The rears took a little longer to sort. I have a 172 cup lowered on eibach sportlines by 35mm. The only spacers that would clear the arches were 10mm non hubcentrics...

Car looks stunning. Really want to see your yellow bits in the engine bay fitted already!! :laughing:

I've just fitted 25mm fronts and 10mm rear. Tried 15's on the rear but its lowered so had a bit of tyre rub. Haven't got any pics thought as its dark now.

cheers for the heads up. Due an oil change

Do agree with the half (ie no point) cage thing. Cage it to track it fine, no track no cage needed.

Great cup. It's my cup's twin. Anthracite alloys n all. There is a bloke on here dan@m.a.d that does the d43 mondial blue in touch up bottles and rattle can. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/aerosol-touch-up-kits-offer.768535/ And here's a pic of mine as you seem to like pics:wink::up:

Jeez, sounds like you don't like ANY mods..... You've pretty much described most people's aftermarket mod on this forum. The whole point of modifying is because you enjoy it not to seek approval. Sure if someone else appreciates it then great. Being part of a 'scene' is no bad thing. Its just...

As above, pay the £12. Well worth it.

Gotta paint the lettering red now, reckon that would look awesome

I did the maplin resistor trick but triple folded the ends for a really tight fit in the connector. Then one of my connectors sheared off so stripped back the srs wire and soldered the resistors straight on.

Yep, they're erm really orange. I like the colour orange just not sure as a wheel colour. Each to their own. Bold.

looks amazing. Wish I had a mate in paint trade!! Gonna paint your grill to spruce up the front next?

Hmmmm, inteeeresting. Not for me

diy aerodynamicist... Love it. Post up some pics when they're on. Ps I expect you already know they'll make no noticeable difference, fun though.

silver 172 cup, less than a hundred in the UK I read recently. Rarer than a trophy if that's the case. 6.5k for a rs Clio is a bit silly irrelevant of its colour and mileage. Just think what car you could get with 6.5k with more performance..

Engine cover looks awesome. How did you do it out of interest?

Yep did mine too. Went ok. Take your time and don't forget the heat gun. Did my wing mirror caps too, they needed alot of reapplication to get neat though.

Checked weather forecast to make sure it won't rain, then cleaned the old girl and buffed it up. Gave the interior a quick hoover. Waiting to pick up my newly machined 15mm spacers for the rears. Hope to fit em tomorrow afternoon. Pics to follow if I do.

as the title suggests, anyone know definitively if you can run a cobra Monaco bucket seat with the standard seatbelt? Where do you mount the pretensioner? Any help or pics to guide would be useful. Cheers

wasn't aware they were different. Thought the 172/182 had the same jc5 gearbox. Might have to get the more expensive one on ebay if that's says it fits.

Sat having a coffee and roused by the familiar sound of an f4r engine. A lovely shiny black 182 cruises past making a lovely sound.
