looks great, but i would lose the stickers and bonnet lifters. not too keen on the wheels but the stance is good. oh and the calipers need painting black imo, along with the wheels.
sounds like you are or should be on a bit of a budget. if so going for 888's would be silly imo. i would go for t1-r's, hankook v12's. something like that.
yeah i got some polish on the bad bit of paint yesterday and its slightly better. not 100% happy but it will do for now until i go to the ring and get a sticker to hide the paint :)
i would always replace the fixing kit and donut washer between the mani and cat. you will 99% sure have an exhaust leak if the donut washer is not replaced.
you can either leave the washer in the mani flange as it will be rusted in! or you can get a hammer to it and remove them and fit the new ones. i would personally fit the new ones and file/sand/whack with a hammer the surface rust off the mani flange.
nothing out of the ordinary other than the cat to mani fixing kit.
off he top of my head you will need 10mm spanners, 19mmspanner? (for lambda), copperslip grease, hammer and blunt implement to knock cup washers out of mani fixing, a jack, axle stands. think thats about it.
it will be quite...
i had my 182 stripped (including headlining and carpets) but it wasn't for me. lasted 2 months and it all went back in. couldn't stand the rattles, headaches, wet floor and roof, un-practicality etc.
now i have come to the conclusion that i would rather have a comfy 182 with full interior...
great find! just need to remove the tints.
i removed the tints on mine a few months back. all it took was a couple of sharp stanley blades, a hairdryer, a cloth, some white spirit, glass cleaner and some patience. the glass and heating elements were not damaged at all and the car looks 10x...
yes you can cut the wires going to the boot light as i have done this myself to add a boot light the other side. so i now have x2 boot lights. cant remember the wires i cut tho.
yeah. its either pay a lot of money for the yozza ones.
wait for these new ones to be sold.
or give it a go yourself with some ducting etc...
what wheels are you running btw? changing to ultraleggeras helped my brakes to stay cool no end!
