Thanks for the prompt responses. I don't think it has spacers unless a previous owner put them on. Here is a photo behind wheel arch. Is there a spacer here? Yer unless the instructions with my coilovers are wrong about heights. It says have a 120-150mm space between top strut bolt and...

Photo 2 is drivers side and 3 is passenger side at front of arch. If I turned to left then drivers side would have been just as close.

I have had problems with my front wheels rubbing on the arches when cornering. I have KW's V2s currently 20mm above there max ride height. Which means it's only lowered 20mm. Have solid top mounts with these which I guess take the ride down another few mm. I am running 205/45 r16s but...

pay 5k more for a new 265 why buy a 200t

just try it people on your next commutte to work tommorow is jokes similar kick to downshifting from 3rd to 2nd at 40mphish

haha yeah f**king revving to 5k on a diesel. i used to have a dci100 one power was peaked at 3k but if you never driven a 172 or 182 it is no faster then a dci100 unless you rev is past 5k

is it late 03? maybe they started making the new parts early for the 182 models?

nothing nothing nothing nothing *click* POWERRR haha

basically your revs are allready at 5k so their is no lag at all its like slamming your foot on the accelerator from nothing at 5k revs (powerband) as others said just get past the click but wait till you hit 5k before you do. its good fun, it amazing for a surprising overtake on a national when...

check the crankshaft sensor ! mine was hair thin and did this ! do replaced it. common fault

turn your speed limiter (push down underneath where cruise control is) to 43mph in second gear. plant your food down to floor almost before the click. wait till it hits that speed and your in second gear while your foot is still planted. press off button on speed limiter then you will have a...

Ah thanks very much guys! I didn't realise they had been like this, probably because the car was jacked were jacked up when I was going at them!

Hi guys bit of expertise needed here. I tried to put on some coilovers on the weekend but couldn't for the life of me get the top mount undone. Ended up snapping the female torq socket in the top of the strut. Anyway I tried to loosen just by turning the nut on top of the strut, hoping it...

mine with black 16's

try running the group a if you think the group n's loud ! its alot louder lol

Right... Apologies for another one of these threads on airbag lights. Trying to find out why my airbag light is on and whether the old seats in my 172 cup had been modified. When I removed the seats red/black plug went nowhere, is this standard for the 172 cup as it has no airbags or something...

mine is under 6 seconds recon. timed it a few times!

hey man before you buy them from ears i just checked demon tweeks they are only 92 quid on there for ad08r's ! bargain

those sparco seats in first picture? what they called i want these!

well i have honestly raced one and pulled away in second and third gear quite heavily! maybe his engine was fucked? when you ask someone who had driven both they say the 182 feels quicker

Maybe a strong engined one would keep up with a weak engined heavy 172

So not true

graphite looks stunning I settled for the matt black ones in 16' as they came up for 300 with premium tyres. check mine out

you taken it to over 4krpm?

For now I like them :) factory finish Matt/satin black. Cars such a money pit thinking of coilovers now haha

Would like feedback chaps

purchased some new wheels ! got some second hand ultraleggera 16' ! you notice the weight difference with the steering for sure... whats your thoughts guys?

and they crack

oreca are f**king loud! avoid! someone in my are had the louder version you cold here him all he time lol

just insulting maybe try it one day its how there supposed to driven the twin cam will never kick in and your not doing your engine any good will just loose power sell your car and buy a 1 litre turbo that will feel faster at those revs hahahaha
