My white Mk1 106 Rallye with full Magnex, 57i and Spax. Never made sense it was only a 1.3, it flew.

http://www.pistonheads.com/tvr/default.asp?storyId=15324 A very sad day, all UK jobs lost!

I think Clarkson descibed it as "like driving a duvet"

New or second hand? If the latter I'd go for an A4 Avant 2.5V6 TDi Quattro. 180BHP which can easily be taken to approx 220. Good handling for an estate and a nice place to be inside!

I fitted a lower strut brace on my old Mk1 106 Rallye, which made quite a difference. Bought an upper one and it did naff all so sold it.

Yes it will be as it is the same lump as the Cooper S. Various rumours have said it will remain the same output as the S, but others reckon it will put out around 200BHP.

But it is only the GT version, equivilent to the old XS's so will not be all that powerful for insurance reasons/younger driver market. It still has 150BHP which for a tepid hatch isn't bad. From memory it has more torque than most RS's so mid range will be good. Evo loved it! The GTI will be a...

Build quality is fine just don't expect Audi standard. Had mine 2 1/2 years from new and it's done 26K and only have a small rattle from the dash which doesn't bother me. Some days it's there, some not. Mechanically everything is fine and I've only had to replace the tyres.

History/receipts? Check with the garages it has been serviced at. I'd get it checked out properly myself before I went anywhere near it and not trust anything you are told by the seller. It does have gas flowed 6x9's though!

I haven't set mine for about 3-4K. 28.4 :S

Why not have these options available when the car is launched? That's what annoyed me when they made the Recaros available on the 182. I'd have definitely gone for them when I ordered the thing a few months earlier. :S

It had the full engine and running gear. Engine in the back. All the crap on the front dash is all glued down. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/MrMPuk/XJ220%20Transit/DSCF5047.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y133/MrMPuk/XJ220%20Transit/DSCF5039.jpg...

You just use the stalks as per any normal car.

If you think a shed is a black/gold 182 that's your opinion! :clown:

After a lot of digging I thought it was a Gemballa or RUF but was wrong. From another picture I found it is by a company called PSI-Motorsport based in Belgium. I tried their website link but it does not work. They do the following: Build racing vehicles. Prepare racing engines. Manufacture kits...

Or this? Cheap and I bet it shifts. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/97738.htm

What about a compromise? House and 106 GTI?

Ouch, that would have seriously p***ed me off! Bad luck.

Hmmm, looks like someone's taken an anglegrinder to the front wing! Nasty! The engine has potential though, bags of torque. Laguna Q-car? Would suprise a few people.

Absolutely no traction in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I bet his tyre bills are horrendous. I bet he wouldn't even get off the line in a drag! :) If you could get the power down progressively I bet it fapping shifts!

I was a bit annoyed about that too. Also when they offered the Recaros, I'd have definately gone for them at the time of ordering if they were an option. I'd try and hold out for a bit before ordering.

Was thinking the same idea myself as mine are a bit scuffed. Would like to see a p-chop if anyone can be arsed.

Mate bought a MK2 V6 the other week and let me out in it up the A3 so got to stretch it's legs. Initial impression from a standing start I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. The midrange however kicks arse and completely shadows my 182. Felt very light at the front end though at high...

I've had a Sony HD5 for about a year. Wouldn't swap it for any other. Can't beat it for sound quality or battery life and if you drop it the hard disk is fine.

In no particular order; Mk1 Golf GTI Citroen DS (I had one as my wedding car 2 years ago) TVR Sagaris Porsche 911 GT3 (2007) Mk2 Clio V6

I see the same one every morning on the way to Guildford station. I've got a black/gold 182.
