Got a 3/4 plate coming for the front of the car, but want to velcro it on so I can swap it round easily enough to the standard plate. Will normal stuff still work, sticky stuff on each side? Sure I've seen some people on here with them?

Is it wrong to love that?! Anyone want to buy a 182?

I use mine mainly for short journeys to work and back in the week, 6 miles each day. And on the last tank I averaged 31mpg. I think 35mpg would be easy on a decent drive, if not higher, provided you arent thrashing the tits off it. But, a 2.0 petrol hot hatch shouldn't be your car of choice...

Nice one. Pics of Alan?

I'm pretty sure that's Crazy Clio's old car!

All that wasted money, and then you decide to sell it! Chin up with the big minus you'll end up at, should have spent the money servicing it and not spraying random shite orange! And in order to stop it being deleted, take it to standard to cut your losses.

Should be fine on that offset, Vin, the lower the offset the further out the wheels sit.

Thing is, coilovers will be a long way off, if they come at all to be honest....but I do like them! Waiting for individual pictures when he gets back home.....

:( Wouldn't look much different with loss of 1 inch though i guess.....? Plus when it is slammed it would be ok?!

They look smaller than the cup wheels to me...?!?!

I like them, different. Plus I want to do some trackdays next year, 15's = cheaper tyres, plus they are a lot lighter than the cup wheels. (I love your new car by the way!)

^ I love you :D

Marky you are a full on legend by the way, in the excitement I forgot to thank you :D The 182 cup offset is 42 right? Waitey you should have a pm in a second...

^ I think they look awesome because they arent subtle!

I think I love it! But does need to go lower so I would have to save for some coils

Can someone please photoshop these wheels on my car please?! Also, could you take it down a fair bit lower on another pic please. I know the pics arent at the best angles, but anything would be good :)

Buy a pug mk2 307 splitter. Search for my 182 pics, cost me £35, flexible so won't shatter and looks good to me. Not 100% perfect for but wouldnt tell unless you looked closely.

Too much time on your hand paul :) I changed all my pads this weekend, easy job so if yours need doing I'll happily give you a hand. Also took a few pics of my exhaust so I'll pm them to you when i get round to uploading them!

It's not as unsafe as people think to a limit, obviosuly the pic shown will be, but I have a few mates who do drifting to competition level, BDC and EDC and they use pretty heavily stretched tyres sideways at 90mph with no problems. Most of these tyres are cheap part worns or worse so they are...

New number plates!

Let me know when you go out again mate, if I'm free then I'll come along for the drive! Just been out tonight bedding in my new front and rear pads, I hate not being able to late brake so need toi get some more miles on them!

Looks good Steve, you need to show me some of these places, look like they have some nice roads!

I paid just over £6k for mine, same car but only £35k on the clock. buyers market at the minute, seems most people wanting to buy these type of cars are young lads like me who aren;t bothered about insurance/fuel/tax etc!

You are a legend mate, appreciate the links. Hopefully there wont be a thread up sunday night 'my brakes failed'!

I have a few mates who know their stuff about cars, do a fair bit of motorsport based stuff so should be able to get them to help me out, but just wondered if there was anything in particular to check for. I see your point about a pro though, i trust them if they say they know what they are...

Thanks for the help :) Do you need any special tools to bleed the brakes, never done it before but wouldnt mind having a blast myself, good thing to know how to do in my opinion.

If you can afford it do it! I'm 19 with 2ncb and pay £1800 for a modified 182. If you can manage to wait until you are in the same position I was then would be better, but they are awesome cars, and for me well worth the insurance tag, especially considering I paid more at 17 for a 1.2 16v!

Nice one, did you bleed the front and rears with it then, or just the fronts? Thanks :)

Not fussed about changing it really, just want to have the car performing well. Know any good places to buy it from? Appreciate the help.

Yeah, I think I'll get the EBC's on and bleed the brakes to begin with. Is it worth getting uprated fluid? Is it 5.1 thats the best?
