i hill climb and sprint a 5 turbo 1 220 bhp. this would rag any 172/182 over 1/4 mile...it would out handle any clio...and its 23 years old...
the vee would leave any 172/182 between 90 and 140 mph without a doubt...i have owned/driven both.
the 182 of omars beet me by 0.6 of a second...
pity you are not nearer me...i can do genuine bits less than their prices....
go and see fred in solihull
oh and put something in the local press...these rip off centers need to be shut down...they give good garages a bad name..

cam belt 72k or 5 years.
plugs will not go the distance...change them at 36 k you will have no problems.
fuel filter at 36 k also...we have seen them in a right state by this time.
fan belt 1/2 hour mate...bit fiddly... matrix is dash out mate...sorry.
rocker gasket should take about 2 hours start to finish...hope that helps.
my garage is near exeter if it is not too far...give us a shout if you need anything.
