I can only seem to find a handful of flamers on PH's/ebay/AT. Most are on at least 100k with issues :( I'm not paying 3.5k for a low mileage, non existent history one either.
It is looking gloomy for my flamer revival.
Get your our names down if you have one, pics just to torment me if you...
Hey guys, I'd like to freshen up the 182's under carrage if you like, dog bone mounts etc? It's not something I've done before but after having solid KTR mounts on my last 182 it did feel better. All I've ever done to my cars is coilovers, camber bolts & spacers!
I've got Cooksport springs...
Few quick snaps from yesterdays challenge. Was told to make it as good as possible for what it is. It was quite a sorry state, not been cleaned for what looked like at least 6 months! So the interior, bay & luggage bay was sorted Thursday & fri in between service washes etc. Then I did the usual...
I was asked to do my best in the weekend I had this little beast. The weather turned nasty, so the Vee sat out in the rain all weekend as this one sat snug in the garage. :dapprove: Oh well. Usual decon process, 3 stage machine polish (Hard hard hard paint wtf!) Finished off with Tripple, Desire...
So following up from my last thread, I drove the V6 down to my work (2 minutes down the road) Gave her a dusting off & a quick Z6 wipe down ready for part 2 :approve:
Here's the results after a bacon butty, 4 Mot sit in's & a lot of banter :S
Oh, I decided to give her a going over with Tripple...
Nothing exciting, just love this angle. In the middle of a long clean up on her. Syripped all lsp off her, detox shampoo, iron x'd etc, skipped the claying as she was clean. Got one coat of SN Micro prime on her by hand, then it rained! :(
Roll on the weekend for
Blacklight
Desire
Illusion...
Thought I'd get a little thread running for this car. Yes, I've had a few :o Really love this one though, cannot stop looking at her, even when the bf sometimes drops me off at work I'm waiting for her to go by, superb colour which really suits the full fat alloys.
I had a ff 182 with Recaro's...
Applied my homebrew wax to the 182 on the 1st March, had time to finally give her a wash today. :)
Flippin dust is a right pain atm
Quick blast with the hose, not bad at all. I'm aiming for tighter beading, still very much work in progress.
Quick wash with the good stuff
This...
What a car! Sounds like a beast on start up, snapping & snarling :argie: Truely amazing sound I'd never get bored of! Anyway, my good friend dropped her off Saturday morning & left her all weekend, just how I like it. ;)
The owner takes great care of it, its very clean anyway but just lacked...
And then she stayed here. :( lovely day it was too!
Dead battery. So, moving on I decided to strip the 182 of any lsp & try my homebrew wax. She was detox shampoo'd & clay mitted, cleansed & waxed. Lovin my wax atm, leaves a super glossy smooth finish, beading ain't bad either ;)...
Hey people. Thought I'd share my progress on the hombrewing front. After alot more trials & testing I am even closer to a wax I'm happy with. I'm still unsure on colourings & scent but that is somthing I'm still trying out. I'm now on batch 16. The last two batches were very good so I decided to...
Pulled Betty out today to tick her over & check her levels etc. She was covered in dust so I gave her a quick wash with Hubikote shampoo. I'd forgotten I put Hydro2 on her back in December, I was mesmorised by the beading! :o
And Hydro2 on the 182 this morning after tootling down the...
After much searching for a used system I have decided to get a custom one made for the car, that way I can get what I want, fitted too.
I've tried Top gear tyres in Aylesbury, but not heard back from them :/ so guys, who would you recommend in the bucks/Berks area? I'd be willing to travel 50...
Guys, I only have one key for my 182 which worries me as my bf usually leaves the keys in the car :dapprove:
Im looking to get a spare made, is it expensive? Ive seen a few websites that offer this service & they say they need the key code, where do i find this?
Many thanks
Decided this was the weekend to clean the car up, I was very lucky with the weather so I'm all in all pleased :D
So saturday morning, set up by 9am & rather cold.
My favourite foam & lance were cracked out. Not so keen on the shampoo, only used it as it was a big clean up sesh.
Play...
Im on the road to wales atm, noticed my engine coolant was just below min. topped it up just above min with water till we get to Halfords on route. My handbook is at home, der! :(
so what coolant is best? shes a dci 1.5
cheers :)
I absolutely enjoyed every moment of today. Was a pleasure to meet Guy & his father, nice people :approve: So, Guy dropped her off at 8am this morning, finished at about 3pm. The car has been looked after really well, but could do with paint correction as we discussed which will hopefully happen...
Hi guys! I haven't had a good session in ages, so with my sister nagging that I haven't done it in ages & her telling me she had a mobile valeter do it, who didn't know what swirlies were! :doublesho I took the car for the best part of a day.
I did paint correction on the car when she got it...
Guys, when I got the new Clio I had the iphone which worked fine threw the bluetooth & usb cable. I have now changed to the HTC one, it doesn't want to know via usb cable or the bluetooth as its just doesn't pick it up. Is there anything I'm missing? I miss my music! Not even a cd player in the...
Picked up our 1.5 dci dynamique medianav friday. Im impressed with it tbh, makes me want a 200T but I have to be economical now :( really nice car, the colour makes up for having to part with the 182 :)
