Lovely looking car, but turn those f*****s off.

+1. Get a long reach socket for the bolts near the exhaust, fckers to get too.

So easy to fit. Find a mate that can tie there shoelaces, will be more than capable of fitting the seats. Pro's will charge £200 upwards, and do no better job.

182 wheels are nasty. Much prefer the 172's.

Why would you? They'd charge you more! If it has to be Recaro's, capital seating are the best to buy from. But IMO (having had both), your paying 4-500 for the name alone. Much, much better to go 2nd hand if you must.

I've had recaro's, and cobra daytona's. The recaro's are a little more comfy, but the cobra's have a vastly better driving position, by being a fair bit lower. Daytona's also a lot cheaper, for the same money as the recaro's you could get cobra misano's, which is what I would go for.

Too slow;)

What seats are in the RB 182?

Parada meant to be awesome in the dry, cautious in the wet. Gsd3's are good all round.

Any idea on prices for AST coilovers for a 172? Had a search, people saying roughly H&R prices, but no firm answers? Cheers

Carbon roof put on by the owner

Hate liquid yello, wi a passion.

I had exactly the same issue with my 182. Took about a week for the light to go off, but it did. I was told that I'd need to have the fault code cleared when I put my recaro's in and the airbag light came on, put the resistors in last week and the light went straight off.

Mines down as 'refer', lowest of the low, purely down to it's closeness to birmingham city centre.

Used car markets fcked at the moment, having to price cars silly low.

Very true. Just sold a 53plate 172, 50k miles, £4800. And that took bloody ages to shift!

It's dead easy, 5-10min job.

No, leave them attached to the pillars

Just a b**ch to get out of in a narrow space.

Yeah, went last weekend. Trophy goes tomorrow, car-less as of monday! Not been without a car since I was 17, gonna be a long wait!

Peak of the Rsport on my drive, Trophy and a 255 Vee. Decisions decisions.

TBF, over a year (12kmiles) the vee will be a fair bit more expensive. 20mpg vs 33mpg, gp20 vs gp16, servicing costs, tyres (more expensive on the 255's due to larger wheels), road fund licence. When you work it out, petrol alone is just over £1000 more, and thats at current prices! I would say...

Objectively, yes. But subjectively, no.

If you're in a good mood, it's awesome.

Riz had a quiksilver OMG exhaust, fcking ridiculous.

It's good and bad. Wore a pink shirt to work today, must of looked a t**t gunning it down the road.

Ok report so far Dislikes: -Front end. Turn in is slow, I know it's for a good reason, but still annoys me -The attention it gets, ridiculous -MPG 18. Fck. Especially given the straightline speed. Likes -Noise, sounds amazing, especially with passenger window down. -Wet weather. Kicking the...

Which Alfa is that? Looks mint.

Surely more air into engine=more fuel used? Or am I being a dunce.

Aren't they very heavy on fuel after TB's? I don't know, just think I read on here.
