Fuel econemy isnt fantastic and it stinks of fuel, how much did a new thermostat set you back? It seems to be running on cold start idle as well when I come to a junction/traffic lights etc

To start with I was having problems with my cold start limiter sticking on. So I've replaced the temperature sensor. Now my temp sensor goes to 1/4 way up when the car has been driven for ages. It rises up to 1/2 way when the car has been sat stationary for 10 mins however as soon as you move...

Got a couple of vids last night Sorry about the quality

Hi John, i've covered around 350 miles in it now so its nicely carbon'd up. If I can convince my mate to pop out with me later I'll get some driveby's

It will go with the car, only a couple of things I've actually bought new and the most expensive one I got wasn't up to my standard so went ;)

Got the new exhaust fitted at BTM yesterday. The exhaust is un-named at the moment but it has replaced the original yozza design. First impressions: Fitting was easy, Zoltan took care of matters and I tried to help where I could as he was on his own in the workshop. We got the exhaust sitting...

Tbh the car was never mint after the first session with the rotary, however I really do need to get a new mitt it would seem, will probably keep the existing mitt for the wheels and get a big drying towel for it

I had a feeling it was a megane box, from watching a few youtub videos they seem similar geared to a 1*2 from 1-5th then with the nice option of 6th to drop the RPM

If you tell us your location we will be able to recomend you somewhere to take it who will do the timing accurately

Ah right, I was going to say maybe its because these drivers having to slow down for corners in 1*2's and not in 200's is because the 1*2's arrive quicker ;)

So the 200 is easier to drive quick then? Personally I would love one, however the residuals are disgusting when buying new IMO. Although I imagine its the same with most new cars

I doubt it will be on hpi if he repaired it himself. Although I do remember seeing a BG 182 with red ultraleggeras on its side

I've had an indicated 150mph out of the 182 and it was on the rev limiter in 5th. Only done it once and never again, poor thing. Thats on a pretty standard engine with filter and exhaust......and a big ass hill

get the timing checked mate, should be around 145-150 hp ATW.

Cheers for the comments Its a full miltek system which is great at all speeds and not very intrusive noise wise

why are you having new valves, headbolts and gasket kit fitted anyway? is it nackered?

What time is it going up owens mate? Wouldnt mind getting that crank position sensor back off you for mine as its playing funny buggers

Its occuring before I touch it with the chamois mate

I'm currently using a meguires microfibre mitt to wash my car. I'm finding that I'm getting light swirl/stroke marks along the panels which is very frustrating after spending 20 hours giving the paint a refresh with the rotary. Could this be down to the mitt itself or is my wash technique...

+1 I have also used hexlogic pads and they're very good, atleast there cutting ability is sort of mid way between each 3m pad. I dont rate the green hard cutting pad from 3m, I prefer to use something else as it falls apart to easy. I've used flexi pads in the past which are decent and dont...

Took the 182 out for a drive at the weekend, up to hartside, accross to penrith and then down to hawes/richmond etc, got a couple of pics on the way My favourite

Ok mate, I know where he lives so if it comes back with standard front seats, you know where they've gone ;)

Thats bad luck mate, you going to rebuild that lump then? When my (hutchies) valve snapped it destroyed the head but only damaged 1 piston, I may have a spare piston out of this lump I've got if it helps

I wouldnt have thought so mate, although if its still pulling all over I doubt its your top mounts.

Cheers mate, trying not to spend money on it tbh as it gets out of hand but the chance came for the BTM system so thought I best get one bolted up :)

Front shocks? I know you said you'd replaced the rears, I've got a pair of low mileage front shocks for your car if you want them for it. I think they've only covered around 25-30k miles I've also got a spare top mount I can sort out for you

Is it pulling under acceleration or even if it's rolling? I had a nackered driveshaft that was causing a pulling issue.

Just booked in at BTM for their new exhaust system, should be nice, I'll be running it at RS Tuning next month on the dyno so will get a comparison between the old vs new yozza with any difference in torque/power

Does it come with the centre silencer in standard? Kinda just booked mine in for this friday....wooops. Guess It's not going the journey now

I'm averaging around 34mpg on the trip computer and around 40 miles to £10 of vpower. I'll swap the injectors out as I've got a full set there and see if that helps. I dont want to start using 2nd hand sensors as we thought the cold start issue would go away after using a 2nd hand thermostat...
