Ive got to say I've had this out almost every dry day after work. In all my days of driving 172/182 I've never had so much fun as I do in this. It's comedy as when your in a genuine 182 the young lads in the slow cars leave you alone and the boys in the golf R's bully you. But in this, tip it...

i never understand people struggling to get it, my local scrappy has at a guess 20 non RS epas clios in, as does most of the others close by

I've not done it before but they look the same externally to me except the starter motor is on the front on the jb1 and rear in jb3. I would take a good guess that you can use the current shafts

I will own a kei car at some point, I must!!! However, as cool as I feel they are, I bet in reality they are pretty garbage lol Checkout the mighty car mods videos of Marty's daihatsu Mira

Looking forward to the update post when you have taken it above 5k lol

What causes the brake pedal switch to cause this??! Sounds very odd

Surprised its not been stolen in Whitburn.

I don't have any experience with aftermarket seats so can't give an opinion. I've removed the spacers that go between the seat and carpet on the standard seats and dropped the seats a few mm, feels much nicer!

I was never that impressed by the seats in my trophy, they looked nice but I found they were no more supportive than the standard seats, which are also cumfier. I never found they sat any lower, at least not enough that it was noticeable.

As above sill, unless it's a V6 🙊

They will tramline on full throttle on the 16s over rough surfaces but not in a way that feels in natural or takes away from the drive. If it's wandering about the road, assuming the basics like good quality tyres and tyre pressures are all ok then have a look at the track rod ends and inner...

My mate had this issue on his twingo with the same ARB using the recommended part number. I ordered a different part number from him and they were perfect. They listed I think 3x part numbers for the 172/182 when they all use the same ARB! Unfortunately I don't remember what the part no was 😂

Following! I've had an itch for one for a few years and never had the balls to do it. All the people building them, loving them then selling them a few months later with no explanation why always plays in the back of my mind. But there does now appear to be a few long term owners now that it's...

Yeah tuition is a fantastic idea and worth more than any mod! I've known standard dampers to be shot after a few years depending on conditions and use and springs so it's worth looking at. For a dedicated track car there will be better options I'm sure for replacements but the stock ones are...

Remember bodyroll isn't the devil. While it's not a race car the 182 out the box makes a good fun track car, more so with a set of springs such as the ebachs you have fitted. How old are the dampers? A lot of People buy their desired car as a track car then spend thousands on mods having done...

must be, all my mk2s have never had any rust, including the current van which is 19yrs old with 150k odd on the shell

i take it RS cars are rusting a lot worse than the non RS cars then? is it mud and damp sitting behind the side skirts?

I've got the little 063 which was smaller than what it originally had, its the cheapest the motor factors listed too, none of the fancy yuasa stuff. Starts fine when its been sitting for a few weeks, powers the xenons fine etc AND everyone told me you need to connect a charger when bleeding the...

Sticking caliper? Do an emergency stop outside your house then jack up and see if you can spin that wheel freely

it should just be a 2x pin connector on the fan so you can just wire it into the cars existing fan wiring? if you want it really tidy then just raid the scrappys for a connector that fits the fan from another VW and connect that upto your loom?

This, at the rear on the van I've got fresh callipers, lines, fluid and a set of standard discs and pads and after a good blast the rears are getting HOT! so they must be doing something lol

so how do you want it wired?

what fan are you running?

you really need to do a good 50-100 miles to get an accurate reading of your MPG once reset as every time you lift off it will read 99.9 and when your on the throttle going up hill it will drop into the teens

I think my repair ended up cheaper than the pump and injectors would have cost lol....

if your getting it in neutral it could still be a driveshaft/bearing put it in neutral so its making the vibration and give the car a rev and see if the vibration increases with revs, that will tell you if its somthing after the gearbox or somthing before it

as above, wheel bolts and check the front drive shaft nuts to make sure they are tight, play in the bearings can cause a vibration although its noticed more during cornering

I had the exact same problem when my high pressure fuel pump died and started taking injectors with it, the rail wasn't seeing enough fuel pressure so would crank all day long before it eventually would sometimes fire sometimes not. Brake cleaner would always start it. leakoff test will take 5...

Do an injector leak off test

Big spanner or shifter on it and give it a kick, it will go.
