As some of you know, i recently had the centre box of my Milltek system removed at JP Exhausts (Yozzasport fabricator) They fabricated a new middle section and replaced it completely.
Original thread.
It's the best £48 i've ever spent on the car.
The system is now straight through from the...
I have Trophy Turinis on my 182. I needed the Trophy wheels due to the lower offset and the fact i run coilovers.
Standard Turinis have clearance issues.
What i want to know is... What is the actual offset of the Trophy Turinis?
I know they're 4x100 and 7J... buy i'm not 100% on the...
Ditch the centre box!
It's the best thing you could do to the system! :evil:
I had my Milltek modified at JP Exhausts (YS's fabricator) yesterday, they replaced the boxed centre section with a straight section of 63.5mm stainless, the same o.d as the Milltek.
So now it's - Manifold > Decat...
A couple of quick pictures on my way home from washing. Only a quick swish over tonight, but still finished in the dark. :dapprove:
New splitter's on too, a Renault one this time as i think the carbon one suits darker colours better TBH. It'll stand up to stonechips better too.
It's booked in...
I'm clearing out my office PC at the moment, and trawling through them, i found these from last year.
I've been there three times now and it's easily the best city i've ever been to. If anyone is thinking of going; just do it.
Anyway, i hope you like the pictures. Sorry if they're not 100%...
Does anyone have any experience with this combo?
Since having to buy another two PE2's to get it through an MOT, i'm looking at cheaper alternatives to iPoddage. Ideally without changing the HU.
I can get hold of one very cheaply, but on the site it tells me that's it's not 100% compatable...
Cup Splitter No. 5 bit the dust today. A carbon one too.
Ordered an OE plastic one from Renault... No. 6 now. :o Just after forking out for four PE2's @ £110 a pop too. FFS.
Ah well, it flew through it's MOT recently, not even one advisory! So that's not bad.
On the plus side, they do break...
I had a bit of wedge saved for various things on the EK9 i had a deposit on. But that fell through due to lack of interest in my car, mainly.
Ah well, every cloud and all that.
So here's the silver lining. Today; i went shopping.
2x - Brand-spanker PE2's to join the other two i bought last...
For nearly 50k miles. :cool: And still getting quicker.
Had an early start and fitted the new PE2's i ordered. Tidied up my engine bay, fitted my new ECU bracket and secured the Simota with the proper clips.
Then washed it and gave it it's first seal & wax for months, as it looked neglected...
Chassis code. ;) Just to add to the style.
Huge thanks to Chris for the 'shop.

If anyone knows about the location of this car and/or it's parts, please contact the seller! I've been looking/drooling over this for a few weeks, then found out that it's been taken whilst on the test drive! :eek:
The car was hijacked from the owner on a test drive, and the car is currently...
Since i'm keeping the car now, i'd like to add a few bits that can easily be swapped over when i do change it. I'm not exactly clued up on ICE, i'm more of a mechanicals fella, so please don't go jargon mad. ;)
I currently have a completely standard setup.
Basically, i want to know how much...
My apartments have numbered parking spaces, so i came home from work to find a huge Toyota pickup in the bay next to mine. Since it was so huge and badly parked, he took up half of my space too.
I had to park half over onto the next space as a result.
Came out this morning to find this...
Which older cars would you consider to have a cult following?
Off the top of my head, i can think of a few. The thing is, where do you draw the line between cars you like, and a true cult car? I'm unsure TBH.
I've tried to keep it to older cars that are rare in the UK. There's loads i've...
Good meet today, fcuking boiling though! Decent turnout, as usual... 25-30 people and Trafford Park.
Good to see a few new people and the shot in Norm's V6 wasn't bad either. :o Loved it.
We now also have proof that 197's are sloooow. ;)
So yeah, pics...
I have a Milltek and Yozzasport decat at the moment.
The Milltek has a centre box as well as two rear boxes.
I am going to have the centre box removed at JP Exhausts and also they are going to tidy up my rear boxes, as one sits slightly to the right. They can flange the section so i can go...
My first free day in ages, so i attacked the car today... a little hungover from last night, but Red Bull & the nice weather got me though. :o

...help me find a Lutecia badge for my 182?
I've tried eBay, to no avail. :dapprove:
Any link or sites where i can purchase one would be appreciated.
:cool:
Spotted you on the one-way system in town. Traffic was a nightmare!
The weather turned crap so we turned around and went to the Trafford Centre. :dapprove:
It looked fantastic! Well done K-Tec.
I wish i had took more pictures of it... Dave, Mark and I were admiring it for a while! Proper job. :cool:

Drive in/Drive out fitment too. Any idea of real gains? The site says 30bhp increase.
I've...
Since everyone's doing them, it'd be nice to have a few as i didin't use my camera all day due to having very little sleep and a hangover.
Nice to meet some new faces too, as well as the heroes from Saturday night... Stoddie, The Bears, Dave, Nick, Gem, Hayley, Jord etc etc etc and all the N/W...
Popped out to pick up a Chinese with the Mrs and i think i saw you waiting at the traffic lights, opposite the Springbrook pub?
Just managed to catch a view of what i thought was your colour-coded foglight surrounds... but she said the reg of the car started with an 'L'. So that's confused me...
