Mate you will get bored after 5 mins, them things are effing slow. Coming from your 172 and V6, that car feels like a 1.4 till it get to 4k rpm, then the gear change comes too quickly.
Whatever floats your boat though, but IMO i would take out the 230 R26
172/182 is a good everyday car with cheap for what it is running costs. IF you want to pose, then you have to pay the price. Only downside is that according to a lot on here, the pose is pretty much the highlight of it.
The reason why I bought a 182 is not to pose, just to enjoy getting...
To get back on track, my thoughts exactly. If it had a real brute power stroke, this car would be amazing. Feels like all show and no go unfortunately.
Arriving 5/6 am I think, birds girl has loads of birds hooked up. From what I understand its couples free, so you can grab another girl. Apparently free drinks for ladyees hence us of course, all night. We can chill in the corner and get sloshed for nothing.
What a touch!
So much for the strengthened hubs lol, assuming you have cup packs? Hope it gets sorted, these things are never cheap.
Did the same in my old saxo to the right rear and it smashed a kerb. Was £900 all in including a new 15" supperleggera.
Nice one, nice to see someone doing what they want for a change rather than people just getting slated when they ask a question or even thinks about doing it.
Sounds like a beast!
with 4k miles on clock, and I am sorry to say, but I think its total w**k. Its not what I would consider a hot hatch at all. Even in first gear you have to press for a good few seconds before the car picks up to any sort of pace. The steering is much lighter than I imagined and the seats are...
Truely shocking driving. Serves the c***s right though, wat if he hit another car and killed / injured someone. Wat are the filth playing at though. Anyone else would have thought there'd been a shooting!
Shame on them!
Power and acceleration are pretty much identical to the 172's. Having a 3rd gear side by side pelt with Eray 172 (ph quick) off here shows the marginal difference in torque the 182 has over the 172 with its "more suitable for road driving" 4-2-1 manifold. Through the gears there is no...
I used dynamat in my old clio when I was running a 15" Square solobaric. Did the boot floor, wheel well, under rear seats and rear quarter. Made a massive difference. Felt more like being in a club as the pressure inside the car was increased.
Defo worth doing!
Still only seen 2 197's on road, but they are uber sexy. The main thing that Im glad about with my 182 is the cheapness of day to day running costs. i regularly average 33-35mpg so it doesnt cain your pocket when you dont feel like spanking it.
When I do, I have seen it dip as low as 18mpg...
Get lower subframes for your recaros. The standard one is a bit of a reach still but I think if the gear lever was set further back it wouldnt be as bad.
Yea I knew you had the ECU, but not the rest. Am looking forward to it, and what do you mean by english malarky lol, you havent see me drive yet and from what Ive heard of Dubai traffic, surprised you get a chance to wing about.
Would like to see that Jabel Halfleet or something.
