how does that work?

is this the speed limiter / cruise control override thingy... its on all 182s, nothing to worry about [Edited by Big G on 6/15/2005 12:22:24 AM]

You can manually adjust the height of the xenons on the 182, i had to do it because my right hand light was pointing a bit too low. If anyone needs a piccy, ill put one up.

Nice pics, i dont think the bug eye is ugly - can get nice upgraded lights for the bug eye from Prodrive. A nice burble exhaust, some sl*gged mud guards and a performance prodrive pack and itll be quite a machine i expect. What were servicing costs like?

ding dong, that sounds like it was one capable car! What are your feelings on the Impreza and Clio having clearly owned both.

Ive got a HiFi test CD with a whole myriad of test tones at different db levels and obviously different frequencies down to 2 Hz. If anyone wants any, pm me.

I understand that if its a handheld hairdryer affair then they need to pull you over there and then to book you.

That model WRX 0-100 in 16.9, the STi version is 0-100 in 13.5 so I see your point. Can you sort out the WRX with an exhaust and remap to squeeze more power from it?

http://brdwd.co.uk/cgi-bin/details.pl?v_vin=XD52SBB Look at the price, think of the tuning options.

I was going to get those but bought Focal Polyglass instead. Wattage isnt everything, you need to know what the sensitvity is too. A very sensitive speaker with a lower wattage can be just as loud as a speaker thats not as sensitive but has a higher wattage.

Didnt clock the plate closely, but i think it may have been private. There was a mini celtic strip window sticker hanging in the drivers side rear window.

Saw a V6 today at lunchtime coming into the gyle shopping centre in Edinburgh. Looked like aftermarket rear lights and a carbon bonnet. Sounded fcking mint, never seen one up close in the flesh - didnt realise it was so low and small. I think I heard it go down the Edinburgh city bypass...

http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/meganecup/ totally wasnt expecting this?! I get the impression this is old news :-P [Edited by Big G on 6/7/2005 11:30:08 PM]

nice car mate! What exhaust is on that? Didnt look stock, nicely sized tips.

Arctic blue 182, tints, bigger bore exhaust spotted on A899 travelling North in Livingston, flashed the hazards as I went past (silver 182, both cup packs), got a flash back! Anyone on here?

You do get used to the 182, as i have found. When my old Fiesta Zetec-S was in for repair (had the 182 at the time), i had to drive it back from Edinburgh on the motorway - christ it was so slow, no kick in the back. Got back in the 182 and it was like "wuhhhhho!" - speed is all relative...

Not to mention that Banana clio scoriching a 270 bhp Cupra at York dragway. Simply no problem for the P1, huge amounts of traction and 100 mph in 12 or so seconds.

Arent the Type Rs jap imports? Possibility of more expensive insurance/parts/servicing? Just a guess.

My mate has a P1. The acceleration and performance is absolutely breath taking, i felt the blood in my face being sucked out under accelerating - its fcking rapid! Handling is also good. It looks smart with the two doors and anthracite alloys, finished off in that nice metallic blue paint and...

Silly question, but any noticeable difference? Its a lot of money, and id like one, but not just for noise.

My sisters Civic Type R engine blew up when it was nearly new, needed a rebuild and five weeks of a hopeless dealerships time.

Anyone know where to buy the above 5W40 oil? Seems to get a lot of mentions for 182 oil changes, but i cant seem to find a UK supplier. Any ideas?

Dont you take the 182 at speed round the ring Tom? If so, i thought it wouldnt be unusual for things like this to wear/break prematurely?

The best price reg vardy renault would offer me without cup bits was in the £13k bracket. I told them up front i could switch for it there and then, but he simply refused to match £12500 i was offered down south with cup bits. I had the smuggest look on my face when i drove up to the...
