Virtually 70k on a 54' 182 here. I've done 10k since the end of April haha! I also have a photo on my phone of 60,000 65,432 and 66,666 - how sad :)

Haha as per the original post it was £900 with a decent sized dent on the front wing, a couple of serious patches without lacquer or seriously knackered lacquer. However it is mechanically perfect and drives spot on :)

I enjoyed driving the Ring this year and will go back next year, but I agree that it is all about driving to the conditions. Driving a 182 round there means you're one of the slower guys unless you're a fantastic driver so you'll spend as much time getting out of the way as you will enjoying the...

Not another one ;) That's at least 4 RB182s in and around Nottingham city centre now!

Forgot to add this one. A mate's photoshop of the two cars into their new film roles!

haha yeah the tax disc holder was put there in a rush and the sticky stuff is like No More Nails so it won't move now :) Thanks for the comments on the plate too, had it for years now! The MX5 is definitely good fun, roof down clowning around on the backroads!

But 6 would just look silly ;) I do agree that the splitters look good, just not got round to it yet! Too busy driving it :)

My mate has just bought a Mark 1 MX5, 84k miles, mechanically spot on but bodywork is a bit rough. Total - £900! We've been out for drives in both cars recently and although they offer very different types of driving fun, they're both very entertaining on country roads! Had a brief drive of...

I'm originally from Birstall and I think the guy with the black 182 posts on here - RJG on the plate? Might be another 182 in Birstall soon - me moving back in with the 'rents :(

Amen to that idea :)

I had a period a few weeks back that went something like this: Sunday - car gets impounded for a very dubious parking ticket outside my work on a Sunday afternoon. Cost - £360. Drove 2 miles home. Wednesday - the next drive, 1 mile to the Mot station. MoT fail, new exhaust and cat. 3 miles...

Mr Burns voice: "Eeeexcellent" :) Not seen the scoopy one yet - that does sound a bit random!

Not seen that one before. Keep seeing a silver ph1 in West Bridgford though :)

I've got a 182FF (RB too :)) and it does around 34-36mpg on average with a mix of town driving, hooning and motorways :)

Twas a 53 plate

True I once hit 54mpg on the downhill bit near Chesterfield :)

Heading into town on the A610 around 12.30 this arvo! Looking good :)

Guilty! I was in a 50mph limit coma too then suddenly thought "that's an RB Clio!" I'd just come back from an afternoon blasting round the countryside!

Down by the big industrial park. Nice sounding zorst too :)

Parked at the side of the main road. Looking good!

After my confidence in the 70k miles disaster being a myth, the exhaust has dropped apart :)

True but tbh postage wasn't that expensive and I don't have enough time off work to drive to Dorset anytime soon!

Haha I don't sit at 70 very often though ;) Having read a few other reviews it sounds good to me. Bought it now anyway so it better do :)

Nope mainly because I can't drive my MOT failure car lol. I am having it delivered tomorrow and fitted at David Drew.

Funnily enough I was out having a beer in town tonight and what should drive past while we're outside the pub than the owls car :)

Cheers Peter - hopefully a healthy sounding 182 by Friday all being well.

Thanks for the info mate. I am looking at about the same cost for the SuperSport + cat from K-Tec all in.

One last question (well until I think of another ;) ) is should I get the exhaust with mounts too? It seems when the standard exhaust drops apart, everything seems to go with it including the standard mounts.

Do you have or know of any decent vids of the supersport exhaust on a 182? Would love to hear it in real life, but everyone who has recommended it lives at opposite ends of the land :)

I definitely do fancy the supersports version as everything I've read so far says it isn't much more intrusive on the motorway or in the city centre which is where sadly a lot of my driving happens! Plus it's cheaper :) PS does the Cliosport discount apply? ;)
