What gets to me more is the amount of parts Ive chucked or sold only to buy them again!

You got money for yours? Years back when I first got my 182 the exhaust was shot, took it to a garage to fit a new one with cheapo cat, I paid them to dispose of the old exhaust and cat 😄

Remember this is england mate, youre supposed to offer the criminals a cuppa and custard creams otherwise YOU will get prosecuted

Its a block with brake lines going into with a spring mechanism so no ones wrong. Common issue on cups, could be that the brakes still work but the garage failed it as there wasnt enough bias to the rear. Search '172 cup rear brakes mot' theres been talks of it in the past.

Thats what happens to your car when your top mounts arent symmetrical

Anyone thinking of selling a standard ish 182?

Renault v6 rwd conversion IMO

195/50/16 a048 will be taller than 205/45 standard tyres and you will notice the longer gearing. Great tyre though.

Would of liked to of seen the times more. Some nice cars out there though.

I bought this one. Fits but probably could find a better one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSENS-652341-Engine-Coolant-Radiator-Next-working-day-to-UK/114446925638?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

More weight on the o/s as well so could only be damper surely.

I reckon that road noise gets through here into the cabin.

The lines were made from scratch so made this easier. I also put some on the vacuum line since its common for them to melt!

Theres no added weight with this because theres no rear seats. Also are your recaros lighter than the standard seats?

Also Im not sure on that support bar but I know it supports the column with a couple bolts as the mk2 column brackets are made of cheese. And those couple bolts in the arches, I didnt think they would need that much to get them off, I would of thought they would just snap if you turned them...

Dont they do one already? Its a road setup though.

Great stuff, must be nice to have a proper space to work and not in the street or a narrow drive!

Put the rear seats back in? :p Even just removing the parcel shelf makes a noticeable difference. Although you will still be saving weight with the deadening instead of the seats so why not.

Anyone else just pick their brand based on which colour you like best? 😄

I guess this counts, Sennas throttle technique

I would only go for a dci rack or a manual quick rack to get rid of the torsion bar. Otherwise there will be tons of slop in the rack. This video gives you an idea, so when you turn the wheel you will have to turn even more to offset the flex of the torsion bar. Dont suppose I can buy that...

hmm, Im going to give them a rebuild and see from there.

Is this the brembos? Thats what mine has been like, nothing for ages then on/off. Very hard to modulate..

I will need to run it soon so thanks for the heads up.

If tie rods look a bit worn then change them and rack bushes too.

Cost just over 500 for these 2, top has soft close draws which is nice.

Im going to get more sealey modular cabinets when I get a unit, hopefully I find one in this lifetime
