They just snapped in. Although we had to take them out to check the alignment and each cap snapped slightly, so I don't think they're what you would call over-engineered ;)

Thanks. I'm not an aftermarket alloy person either, but saving 12kg of unsprung weight makes me wet. Cooler brakes and a slightly wider track are a nice bonus too.

I felt that black was a bit on the dull side, not that I'm the king of bling or anything, but the gunmetal and polished rim just works well in my eyes. Having said that, the black suits that yellow civic very well.

Thanks for the comments guys...good or bad, its interesting to hear what you think. The 'spoon' style wheels aren't the obvious choice for a French hot hatch in Europe, and I wasn't 100% sure to start off with, but everytime I see the car it just looks better and better! Its the style of wheel...

I bet, its been damn cold down here too, but thankfully fwd is a little more predictable (or is that just being boring ;))

The hubs are completely different, and it would be much cheaper and easier to simply get a big brake kit from Brembo or equivalent.

lol, is that because you've been driving too fast! ;)

Nice work. Very impressive power figures :)

Got them on today, I'll have some decent pics tomorrow. Amazingly light. Very pleased. Mint conditioned 182 wheels will be for sale soon.

Ideally yes! lol

Aha, then I have a suggestion. For the exhaust, phone Charlie at Pro-Speed who made the backbox for my old V6 (now owned by another forum member I believe :)).... And for the induction kit I would seriously recommend the BMC CDA. It makes quite simply the most electrifying howl above 6k...

Great 3 minutes of fun there!

Phew, I'm glad its not just me. Until I get any heat into the brakes, they're completely useless...I can not even get ABS to engage (on a dry road, straight road). Once they're warm, they are fantastic. The cars done 11k miles, and I'm changing the pads tomorrow for DS2500's. The fluid has...

I have a mk1 v6 airbox in mint condition if you're in need of one? (you didn't specify whether you meant aftermarket of oem?)

Good idea mate :) Try The Z forum, they're a good bunch, always up for a run.

I realise its a sensitive subject for some people, but I'm making an observation from what I've seen when driving. Frankly I think its a bit dangerous.

That's right, its a car forum, that's why I'm venting my frustration about car-related matters. Have I broken some rule?

You sound like one of the Soprano's! ;)

Lets be honest here, how often is it really foggy enough (sub-100m visibility) to warrant using them?? I can't think of any fog that was that thick in the last 12 months. They are put on cars for the same reason as spoilers and splitters - to look like a fast / rally car. I don't think the...

Yes, amazing increase :)...is the car completely standard in every other respect?

You feline lover!

lol. Is that a k-tec one?

Any idea how much weight your bonnet saved you?

From what I've seen, even lowered 182's often have a larger gap at the front than the back. Mine did with standard springs, and still does slightly with Apex's. Guess you could dial it out with coilovers.....but maybe its like that for a reason!

That looks proper bo.

Bet you a beer he knows if engine needs to drop out though! Where's my beer?

Looks very cool. What suspension are you running?

PM AndyGDI, he'll know.
