Ive had my 2006 182 in BlackGold turboed for just over 5 years. It was originally done by Clioturbo and yes they didnt do a good job but I took it straight to Alex White who fixed and perfected it. Ill admit I dont use it that much, its certainly not a daily car but I do get it out a few times...
Yeah , they are a pain. It only happens when you force the bolt back in, you have to make sure you can get screw it in with your fingers, adjusting the height of the beam with a jack so it's perfectly in line with that bolt.

What I would do to start with is get down to halfords and buy an...

Sounds like it would be possible to make an underseat sub yourself . Take the seat out and get some measurements.
An other idea is doing the same as a Nissan gtr and having the sub in the backseat.
Like Marc says. Thanks Marc !
My advice is don't under any circumstances attempt to swap the handbrake arm or remove the handbrake arm. It's stupidly hard to put back together.
Hi Scott.
Bilsteins for a 200cup are rock hard aren't they! I also had an alien green cup with bilsteins and at times did think they were too hard. I stuck with it and actually really liked them after a while. I also have bilsteins on my 182 too but they feel really soft compared to the 200.
I...
