I swapped my ff172 for a ff182 with cup packs . Mainly because the 172 was 4 years old and i wanted a new car . The 182 does seem to handle slightly better imo than the 172 , whether thats down to the cup suspension , exaltos or a combination of both i'm not sure . But i don't regret it .
There are 2 cup pack options . One with the anthracite wheels and cup suspension and one with the slightly different rear spoiler and front splitter . The anthracite and silver wheels are the same wheels , same fitment etc but obvously different colours .
Like peperami says . Use the stalk , thumbwheel to change the numbers then press the validation button under the stalk until it beeps , then it's set .
Is it standard ? You could be looking at anywhere between 170 - 180 , maybe even a little less like Ben_p says .Seems like the power varies alot from car to car .
If the filter is choking your engine you'll definitely lose power . I had a k+n apollo which did this . I now have a k+n cone filter in a custom made enclosure , the filter itself has a larger surface area than the original panel filter . Definitely pulls as hard if not harder than the oem filter .
If you get wax on any black plastic trim its a sod to get off and over time goes white . All the black trim products you see mask the white wax marks rather than remove it . To really remove any wax you need a solvent like turps . I use new look trim gel from carwashnwax.com , autoglym bumper...
I tend to buy alot of stuff from here :

He's a cliosport member R9DCG aka David Graham . Usually delivers within 48 hours plus you get 10% discount as well iirc :)
You definitely need some form of lube , i.e. shampoo or the clay will mark your paintwork
Leave your car wet after you wash it , and use a weak mix of shampoo and water in a spray bottle instead of the clay lube .
You want plush microfibres for removing polish and wax , a waffle weave towel for drying your car .
For polishing i prefer the german applicators , they give more...
Like rich says Flux will be any quote , obviously it has to be the same terms . I've just renewed with them again , had a cheaper quote from churchill so they beat it , no proof required as well this time .
Steer clear of the k+n apollos . I had one on my 182 , it choked the engine so i ebayed it . That was after the engine stopped and the AA had to tow me home .
Like Pettsi says , Nero . Sounds like your trying to burn the songs as audio rather than mp3 .
You need to burn them as data ( iso ) On a 700mb cd you should easily fit on 200 songs .
My Michelin PE2's lasted 8k on the front , put the new ones on the back and old ones moved to the front so i expect around 12 - 13k out the the set on the front ( fingers crossed) contis on my old 172 lasted 7.5k on the front

Like lei69gh said . If the panel is accessible from behind .Try a seam roller . I used one years ago and removed 2 dents from a rear quarter panel ...
^^^ Yeah and loads of people waiting to bid i would imagine . Most people only bid in the last few minutes of an auction anyway . Plus they have 55 negatives in the past month :eek:
