I also use the V12, £60 a corner in 16" and great wet and dry

been there done that before in 2004 with my 182 brand new, paid 11,800 - sold for 6650 3.5 years later. Bought a 2nd hand 172 for £3300 Point is, as tempting as these deals are I won't be doing it again. My mileage justified it originally (warranty was really valuable to me!) but not any more

If it wasn't for the corsa I'd have thought the blurry pics were taken in the 90's lol

even the mintest 182 can't be worth much more than 5k now. View some cars up for £6k, £6500 as they'll have to drop their price IMO Sold mine over 2 years ago for £6650!

Its the quality of the dampers which defines the ride quality, H&R's were always reknowned to have a better ride quality than standard suspension. If you get coilovers which don't have adjustable damping then you're prob not bothered about ride comfort it's just about going low. I have koni...

Think I'll buy a copy of this

I had very slight play in the track rods which caused a knock, it's now gone and the car is tight again

Rubbing was power steering hose coming into contact with the offside driveshaft, now resolved!

Sodding window washer reservoir is leaking and I'm getting a bit of rubbing now that it's running less camber - doh! Only happens when the wheels are pointing to the right and in reverse so not too bad... lol

I like how it looks but the roads are so crap that I wish I'd got the prolines instead of sport lines.

Hi Pablo, thanks. I haven't adjusted the dampers much so can't comment yet there I'm afraid. The -2 was a result of lowering without camber correcting bolts, -0.5 is original renault spec I was led to believe so just went with that again.

I thought the weather was perfect, dry and not too hot - ideal!

Awesome, need to get myself to a Scottish Old School Escorts meet again soon, Alistair McRae has a nice example

spotted today at Knockhill parked very near my 172. It had Ness Motors stickers on the number plate. I left a cheeky wee CS flyer on the windscreen for a laugh, anyone here?

Spotted on the road up past the school parked outside a house, I'm sure I've seen a cup there in the past. Anyone here?

Think he meant, did you pull it or will you let it go for £1400?

The Konis are good, ride would be better with prolines. On a smooth road they feel amazing but at the softest setting front and back they are too soft the car will bounce about a bit too much for my liking, will experiment with damping soon.

Pour a little of each into a jam jar and give it a good shake, see if it separates

looks like a female torx bit might fit it with a little persuasion

Had some free tickets so ventured up to see BTCC for the first time, was a good day out. Had to leave before the 3rd touring car race but was still good. Had a bit of banter with Plato as we bumped into him on our way to the car, will get that pic later!

More pics, taken from the top of Tak Me Doon Road over the Kilsyth Hills:

Cheers, Knockhill was good today saw a few clios and I left a flyer on an Arctic Blue 182 Car feels soo much better, amazing the difference with the new track rods and running standard camber again. Need to stiffen the dampers up a bit though

lol cheers, I'd crash if I used tyre shine as I'd get it all over the tread no doubt.

Nice, I'm going to Knockhill to see them tomorrow

Drive to Knockhill early tomorrow will reveal how it's handling!

doubled the value IMO, good effort

peanut butter on black trims?

Looks tidy, its been ages since I saw a racing blue 182 with gordini stripes come to think of it.

all day from 9am. loads of races clio cup, formula renault, ginetta's, and 3 touring car races

Are they red or black springs?
