If you mean the heavy weight just in front of the driverside strut mounting, yeah only held in with one bolt, I did have h/light and front panel removed when I took mine of. That's when I first saw it.
My first 172 windscreen got whacked and ended up needing replacing, and now this happened thanks to a bmw driver, never happened to any of my other cars.
OK then, I don't like stretch, seems pointless exercise, but to be reasonable about it I think an 8 inch rim would be pushing it a bit on that size tyre, can offer no advice on any other size.
I see you have a 182 and I have a 172 and I have no idea if they do a similar version for yours but I bought the k-tec stainless super quiet system and its everything I was looking for soundwise.
Never fiddled with the arb so don't know how it all fits but in your photo there appears to be a dark area on the arb, will the bush just not slide on a bit more?
What everyone has said is correct but if you want to do it, you want the 1.8 20v turbo unit from the mk4 golf (plus others), theres one or 2 who have done it on here in the projects page somewhere.
Just fitted the k-tec quiet stainless system, can now hold a conversation at 70mph, can redline it in the lower gears without sounding like a complete idiot and every one within half a mile hearing me. Wonderfull.
