Wow, awesome work there! Im in the process of stripping a loom back but have yet to de-pin every redundant plug. Can you go into a little more detail on the fusebox mods for the starting? Cheers.

My thoughts exactly!

Did you remove the tank when you fitted the battery cage? I know @Mash. did the same once!

Has SJM closed down then? Just checked and the company is desolved!

@SharkyUK I live near Micks place if you or he ever needs a hand etc Would love to see it finished!

Car looks great mate - I actually prefer my Sparco buckets to the standard seats! Probably due to the high driving position though! Any review on the dashcam? Can it be hardwired to come on and off with the ignition?

You will be surprised just how much 'bad' paint can be sorted with a good polish and the right compounds!

Been with Plusnet for 3 years, rang up earlier this week and managed to get £10 a month off plus the new router (dual band) on unlimited fibre for around £25 a month, happy with that!

Agreed on that, i ordered 2 lines and it took well over 7 days for a stock item to be delivered and still needed work despite being 'plug and play'

Jesus, that is horrendous. 182 Decat/Cat swaps are really a DIY job, use high temp black silicone (sensor safe stuff) as it remains flexible unlike the putty crap.

I think its the fact that the sills are rivetted on, combined with the bendy jacking points preventing adequate drainage means water is held for a long time. I need mine repairing really, they have been plated but the rot is still coming through.

My ph2 is the same as this as @Coops Turbo can attest to, I had the same 'just needs kurust' and when I got the grinder out holes started to appear!

Love these. Common for rust?

Ben, Roper says feck off

Yesss join the Derbyshire clio slags!

Block to inlet, vent to tank.

Cat will definately need dropping. Make sure the circlip is in tight (use a socket and a jack to pop push it in), I found it best setting up in 4th with someone holding it in gear in the car and then selecting 4th on the box.

How did you find the pads?

Hi, car looks great! Have you considered EPAS to bin the pump? Any tips or more pics on how you fitted the front poly windows please?

That is simply, simply lovely. Red is an awesome colour for them.

That conductive bonnet prop is a recipe for disaster with those naked batt terminals haha. Looks good though, loved my BG 182. Any reason you didnt ditch the aircon?

Looks great, what do you need to look out for on these apart from the usual?

Only if the airbag lights on as well iirc? I have this same issue and believe it is down to the steering angle sensor needing recalibration. The ABS light isnt on.

Absolutely love this car. How have you wired up the Dash2 out of interest? Patched into the standard loom? Or does it run off OBD?

Modern Classics magazine is excellent. Plenty of content and varied across all marques.

Just checked my ebay, 4 x m8 x 40mm high tensile (12.9 grade) bolts and washers for subframe to car, 4 x m8 x 25mm high tensile (12.9 grade) bolts and nyloc nuts and washers for sidemounts to seats. Thats per seat! You will notice it more when you have buckets in I reckon. Fairly easy to sort...

Good - I wouldn't bother with the sliders either, they flex to much imo. The OMP subframes dont sit level without the washers iirc. Get some high tensile allen key headed bolts and use the flanged nuts from the standard seats when fitting as well, easy peasy. You will notice a huge difference...

My second trackday was at Donnington, was also my first with AD08Rs. Was cold but dry in the morning, after lunch it was a complete downpour for hours. I drove at probably 6/10s and focused mainly on perfecting the lines with the luxury of minimal traffic. An E46 M3 spun in front of me and...

Have you got subframes for the seats? If not I would recommend the Jon Foz X-low frames.

Nice. Seriously considering one of these instead of my 172 as boost makes them a bit more appealing!
