Bit high but it's a dealer so to be expected. As above get the rear door cards off for a look. As long as it runs well and you are happy with it that's all that matters.
Looks tidy, front bumper has been painted but panel gaps look ok so assume it just got a freshen up
I would assume that they use a different bottom end so the boxes don't straight swap straight over.
If your really into the car then just drop the engine and box into yours
Your correct you will need to swap the gearstick and linkages and probably the clutch cable
you can use one of these instead of the tunepoint if you just want to listen to music off your phone, but it doesn't let you control it thru the stalk obviously...
Think the original ktec stealth had the clamp on centre mount like that, got a pic of the backbox.
rear sills look rotten on that looking at the bit behind the skirt!
few of mine over the years:
BG 182 I had for a bit
DCi80, had it for 3 years and 40k, longest ive ever owned a car! had 150k on it too!:
my first car....
lovely, love a nice standard looking iceberg. reminds me of my first one. Good being an early one you have no ESP to worry about (one less warning light 😂 )
good call on the cup dampers, make a nice difference especially when the old ones are worn/crap lol Kam racing have a great deal at the...
That was the biggest downside to trophy ownership for me, I had a low millage mint one and I enjoy driving them properly so every new stonechip and blowing the baffles out of the mint standard exhaust used to bother me lol
the rough, cheap ones have been the ones I've enjoyed the most, and the...
This, and also because Fred said so in 2007 lol
As I said above my rear was doing nothing as could be seen from the surface rust on my discs lol but afterwords it felt like the car was hunkering down under breaking rather than nose diving and going light at the rear
Looks good with the splitter, not fancy the skirts to match?
You should look into an akrapovic for it, best sounding exhaust I have ever heard, it's how it should have left the factory. It's the only aftermarket exhaust I've ever owned that doesn't sound like an aftermarket exhaust!
That could be my issue then I didn't try that just used the pressure bleeder. Will give it a go today cheers
I can't remember if it was running at the time, I tried bleeding with and without the engine running.
Evening guys. Having a load of bother bleeding the abs on the 182 van.
The system was fully emptied of fluid before being swapped over to the van.
I've got an rs tuner with the abs module, I can access it and connect no problem and it appears on the screen that the bleeding is taking place but...
I've rarely ever had to do rear pads in any of my Clio's as they last so long but I done a pair of rear discs a few years back and stuck a set of pads in, at the time I was fully aware of the "just fit the std pads they don't do anything" and the only "uprated" pads I could find were EBC green...
id have a 197/200 over the 225 any day.
problem with the 197/200 is they cost a bomb when they go wrong, gearboxes, exhaust manifold flexi, front hubs etc etc at least with a 182 the majority of issues are cheap fixes.
