This is getting fun.:)
Anyway, I bought this car accepting things will go wrong with it. While its working it is a fooking rocket ship.:rasp:
Obviously there are faster things on the road, like the biker that got a bit of a shock when a little old clio nearly kept up.lol.

both pretty boring.lol. The 182 is quieter though.
depends if i need them. I think they are next on the list. good pads will do me though. ds2500s bedded in properly stopped me from over a ton to zero in around 100 metres.
I have heard you need to let the turbo cool down before switching engine off. I dont think i leave it long enough.
As on a few occasions now i have come back to car after a few minutes, started it and its shot up to 3000/4000 rpm, twice it dies down to a normal idle.
BUT! this afternoon, it...
Thanks for the nice comments.:) I had bad feelings about lexus lights and i like them now so they're staying.:rasp:
Turbo badge will be off asap though.
If i had somewhere to store the interior, I would. I had good results with stripping the 172, that was only running 179bhp, easily beat cups with all the rear stripped.
For now it's quick enough. I'll no doubt strip it one day for a bit of fun.
Rebecca says i should diet before stripping...
not given it a proper hammering from standstill yet, but spins in 1st and 2nd.
It's like the 5k kick, but all the time, power delivery is so smooth, just constant pulling up to around 6000 where it peaks.
