all shocks are identical prices on the parts system now as far as i can tell

Spax "trackday" coilovers. Because they were my idea :)

£420 doesn't sound bad for what you're getting

I'm £465 all in with both kits and the water pump, all genuine bits Most awkward part I've found is getting to the exhaust cam pulley to angle tighten the nut. No room with the brake reservoir just there

i recon your immobiliser is having a fit. lock the car up, unlock, and try again

Re: 21.7 MPH Something wrong? :eek: wow, thats TOP money for a 182 now, prob about double what I'd pay for a car thats gone 3 years without servicing You need a proper service and get it on diagnostics to see what the ECU is doing/seeing

Re: 21.7 MPH Something wrong? Your oil will be like treacle, and all your filters will be blocked too. All of that is going to contribute. Sounds a completely abused example. I hope it was CHEAP, becuase you'll probably be changing the engine soon if you track that

Re: 21.7 MPH Something wrong? reading between the lines, I'm going to say it's had a noisy dephaser, which was replaced, but at this point the timing was done wrong.

Re: 21.7 MPH Something wrong? lambda sensor You should be easily managing 36mpg, and over 40 if you try It's also possible your cam timing is wrong. Has it had the cambelt done recently?

locktite is only to stop them unwinding when you remove a wheel. Torque the nuts right and they wont come loose, studs are stronger than bolts

says 25mm in the listing, but it's a bit more in reality. Pretty consistent though

think i'll wait for the official update as i like sense

Had mine a couple of months roughly. At first there were a couple of apps that made it freeze up, but they got fixed pretty quickly. It now works without issue. For me it's just like the desire, but without the lack of internal memory. Lovely screen too.

stiff shift would be what I'd go for

77 00 736 647 - Modine sealing ring £7.60 Got it sat here

I've built high comp engines that have donesignificantly more than 200 on the standard inlet, but the ITB's always give a better torque spread

probably needs a thermostat, like most 172/182s

I did mine the other day. Bought the cheapest cat the motor factor had, and cut the ends off to suit the right pipe size, then welded it in using the original 172 flanges

i killed one at the same time as bending a rim and popping a tyre. did a proper job thanks to a pot hole. Was in perfect condition a week before

that IS his neighbour ;)

If it was this neighbour, he's lock himself out daily

abuse and lowering will reduce the life of anything. Have a look at the angle your balljoint sits at. If you go very low, you can be right at the limit of travel when stationary

yes ideally, and a quick alignment check too

that quote above is balanced advice, and I commented purely as I'd spoken to him in person the world continues to turn on it's axis

I sell a fair few PI springs, and whenever they go on with good condition dampers, I have a happy customer. I always used to use them on 205 GTI's and they were great on those too.

eibachs never sit low enough in general IMO, but yours has that nose down thing going on. did occur that it might be the shocks on the front being shorter? (not sure if they are, never measured)

I know I should remember as I had it here for days, but is the back of the car stripped out?

it's a FOB fatty. Now I have to see your sisters boobs
