Thanks for all the kind comments guys. I can’t wait to get it setup and start playing with it.

Beautiful car. Id also avoid gloss black. I’ve got gloss black Turinis on mine and they show every single mark, if you must go black, go satin black.

Well those under arches need a bloody good scrub anyway. But after today’s weather, I figured I’d do them another time. As mentioned, I’ve got a few other parts to go on so it will all be fresh and new under there anyway.

Hope so. I purchased them brand new so cost more than most 182s. Hopefully if I look after them the way I intend to, they should remain in good condition for a long time to come.

I don’t doubt it. 😂

So continuing to Carpé Diem thanks to the lockdown, I managed to crack on with another job I’ve been putting off due to time. I battled some crazy changeable weather today and fitted my AST 5100 dampers. These were fitted alongside PMS spherical bearing topmounts and matching brace. The drilled...

Mine was replaced by Amazon without question. I just got the arse and bought a Kranzle and now keep the Nilfisk as a spare

Guys, Can anyone quickly tell me the nut torque for the strut top? The large 24mm strut securing nut Not on the PMS site from what I can see. Thanks.

I have a Nilfisk C130 as a backup washer if ever I need it. But after going through 3 Karchers and 2 Nilfisks in 6 years I pulled the trigger (excuse the pun) on a Kranzle. My main washer is a Kranzle 1050TS. Of the budget friendly washers, I found the Nikkfisk to be better than the rest. Keep...

Check the following: Inner/outer track rod ends Steering rack bushes Tyres - huge change in steering feel based on sidewall stiffness Topmounts Bottom ball joint Anti roll bar bushes Lower arm bushes. All of the above affect steering feel and geometry. So unfortunately could be any of the...

Ah that’s a shame. Typical, I’ve a spare Nilfisk you could borrow too. let me know how you feel about the bushes. I’ve got brand new genuine OEM bushes sitting here, but now the focus of the car has changed I’m going to fit poly.

Belts Steve just use a pressure washer and some APC. Can you feel any difference with the ARB bush change?

Self adhesive

Love this build. Beautiful and inspiring job 👍🏼

If you don’t like the badge options above I’d be tempted to get another gel decal you do like and fit it in place.

Whilst I’m absolutely itching to go for a drive, It’s not about you, it’s about others. If you have an accident, break down or anything else. You’re then calling on the assistance of others and potentially removing medical and emergency services that are far more required elsewhere right now...

i had to track one down for mine. It’s from a Honda Integra. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F151604474401

Exceptional job as usual mate with the superb levels of detail we have all come to expect. So glad you like the BTM, they really are a nice bit of kit imo and you’ve done a beautiful job polishing that one up. Makes me wanna drop my 3rd hanger now to give it a paint haha. Stay safe dude, lookin...

Thanks chap, they certainly look super fresh on it. 🙂

Not at all, my Clio is my daily driver. The R is my toy, although I love driving both just the same. I don’t drive the R in the rain if I can help it, if it gets caught in the rain, so be it but just means a good while up in the air cleaning it all again. On the odd sunny day I’ll take the R...

Yeah I’ve always had Cup 2s on it. Truth be told, I would probably be okay with Supersports or PS4S, especially for anything but dry weather. However I love the way the car feels on Cups, so was reluctant to relinquish that performance.

You missed nothing mate. I had 4 new Pilot Cuo 2S fitted and they managed to scratch 3 of my 4 rims. So I had to get the lot refinished, and they’re a specific colour so are wet paint and not powdercoated. I’m bloody fussy so they painted them 4 times before I was happy with the finish. The...

Finally got my Cayman R wheels back, im ashamed to say I chickened out in the end and went for the OEM Gloss Porsche Silver Chrome. Wrapped in new Cup 2s they look so fresh. Treated her to fresh genuine crested centre caps and all parts have been coated in Gtechniq C5 topped with C2V3.

Such a lovely job you’re doing on this mate. I love it when I see this thread has been updated, so satisfying to watch the gorgeous attention to detail. 🙂

Blokes a weapons grade nob. Unwatchable shite as per spouted by 99.9% of Vloggers.

Pole positions 😏

If you think that stuff is good maybe try Motul 300V competition. Best oil I’ve ever used or seen perform in any motor. My 35k mile 400 bhp impreza Motor wasas mint as the day it was built when I stripped it. Continued to use it in the 600bhp build too and the competition engines I built. I...

Thanks so much 👍🏼

Not in that vid I hadn’t yet. I’ve got some Gtechniq C4 to apply to all the exterior plastics but haven’t done it yet.

They look like Raw plugs to me. My badge plugs are black and much smaller than what you show there.
