Odd question I know guys but how heavy are a set of coilovers in a box? H&R's being specific. The guy I'm dealing with in Dubai can't get hold of any until late June. Might take some back with me on the flight if they aren't extremely heavy. Any ideas people?

Could someone please verify the H&R part number for the 182 please? About to order them for my 182 and just want to check the part number. He said the kit comes with 6 springs as 2 are called helper springs that can be used if I track my car a lot? Never heard of helper springs before. The...

Just ordered my supersprint, should arrive the day I arrive back in Dubai. Can't wait. Alot of wonga but hopefully worth it. Oh and it's the only option really as no other company that does 182 exhausts are available in Dubai, lol. Didn't wanna go down the custom route. Anyone had one fitted...

Okay people, I'm biting the bullet and getting the 182 resprayed white. I just need to decide what colour code for the white? I've seen several options, pearl white, championship white etc. Managed to get an absolute steal on the job, 3,000DHS all in. It's exterior only so the engine won't be...

Hi All, Thinking about getting this wheel: Sorry if these seem daft questions: Does the horn still work? Looks like there is no space for it. Or is this a competition wheel? Also, could I fit harnesses to standard seats or would I definitely need buckets?

Hi guys, Is anyone here handy with mircosoft Excel? I've got 20,000 rows of data I'm trying to sort through by identifying trends etc. I need to know if there are any functions that can help me. I know a few but have a few Q's how to use them best. Thanks.

Hi Guys, Just a quick question. I was going to get a new laptop this week but just read that Vista will be released here in the next few weeks. Do I wait to buy it with it already on or just buy one now and stick with Windows XP?

ARGH! I went to the garage to get my car valeted and when I returned to drive off, the airbag light and service light is on. Nothing appears wrong with the steering wheel. I think they've knocked something? If i switch the car off and then start it again it won't appear for maybe 5 seconds then...

Decided to spray my plenum today, pretty pleased with the results. Just need to sand off the Renaultsport logo and then give it a little polish. Do you reckon I should also do the fuel rail? Thanks to Ben for giving me a few pointers (a lot) as to getting it off the car. Verdict?

Hi all, I want my engine to look like this, I've bought some heat resistant paint and have a few Q's.. i) Do i need to primer it first? ii)I've had a quick look and seen the bolts needed to undo it, do I need to be careful of anything? The map sensor will need to be unplugged, is it just a...

Hi Guys, I was hoping some of the more technical of us could help annotate the F4R engine. I'm a complete novice when it comes to engines and want to learn a little bit more about the engine. If you asked me to point out 'item x' I probably wouldn't be able to do it. This is a fairly...

Hi All, As promised here are a few vids of me against a standard 182 and a V6 4 motion. There were a few people who said I was talking gibberish that I could beat a 182 to 100MPH by 2/3 car lengths, well here is evidence. When passing the camera we were probably doing 80MPH or so. Sorry the...

Just thought i'd post this classic vid up, some proper BTCC racing, awesome racing from Mansell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bM5ua_bz5Y&mode=related&search=

E46 M3 GTR from Dubai 24 hr and other pics Just a few pics of my friend's E46 M3 GTR which ran in the Dubai 24 hr this weekend. Absolute beast of a machine, had a sit in it on the practice day and wow is it a tight fit. Very much like a touring car inside, digital display etc, sequential box...

Hi Guys/Girls, A quick vid of my 1st 1/4 mile attempt...unluckily i was up against a 500BHP Evo VIII :( and it was a knockout competition lol. Was a lot of fun though,the Evo was awesome to watch and listen to. I managed the 1/4 mile in 14.21 seconds with rear seats out. Beat my friends R32...

Hi Guys/Girls, Some of you may remember this vid http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f192/Dubai182/?action=view&current=R32vs182.flv where i get spanked by a R32 from a drag start. Well i was back at it last night since the last vid i've done a few mods and it seems to of worked :cool: . This...

Hi Guys/Girls, Just got back from the most amazing drive i've ever been on,nothing short of perfect. It was a place called Kalba in the Fujerah mountains which is about 45 minutes from Dubai. There were roughly 15/16 cars if i remember correctly. All drove in convoy to a meeting place where...

Hi Guys/Girls, Just thought i'd post this up as it really made me smile! :cool: This quote is from a guy who owns a EVO VIII MR with 300BHP. Went to meet Dubai182 for late night tea and drive earlier. That is the absolute last time I rag on a Clio Sport 182. That damn thing is a rocket, and...

Hi people, Just thought i'd post a couple of pics of the cars i was out with today,as you can see from the pictures, the weather was very unlike Dubai!:dapprove: Something like 600 accidents today on the roads. We had 4 S2000's with us,one quite heavily modified with a Garrett turbo and...

Hi Guys, Noticed on my drive home this evening that the water temperature gauge was only about 1/4 of the way up. It usually sits at half way when fully warm. It's due for its service in the next couple of weeks.Anyone any ideas? What does drop in temperature mean?

Sorry about the quality and angle,lol. I was bored last night and thought i'd do a few quick vids. I timed it *roughly* from anywhere between 6.0 and 6.6. Certainly feeling a little quicker now temperatures are in the low 20's. http://www.zippyvideos.com/4676676846302566/mov00206/*dubai182

Sweet jesus and mother of troy!!!:S Just came the closest to a high speed crash ever on the way to work and feeling a little bit weak legged. My own fault really for doing a silly speed (135MPH) but with the speed limit at 110MPH,its not really uncommon to see people giving it the max...

Hi Guys, Need your opinion on what colour i should paint my calipers on my black/gold 182 or just leave them as they are??:S Welcome to all suggestions.

Hi Guys/girls, I fitted my Group N ECU tonight with Olivier who has recently moved over from France. Got it fitted in 10 minutes,didnt even need to take the battery out,we just undid it from unscrewing the bracket holding the ECU to the frame. Idle is a little rough occasionally, i think...

Hi Guys, I've got a Group N ECU which i want to install,i've got a fairly good guide i found on here. Now my question is...is it difficult bearing in mind i have no experience with engine related work,lol. The guide makes it look fairly simple but they always do. Do i wait for my friend to...

Hi guys and girls, I had a good drive around with a friend who has the new Golf R32. We did about 5/6 standing starts. I never realised they had launch control!!!!:eek: This is the only half decent one i got...it was pitch black but we're going out friday day so i'll get some proper ones...
