Just bought and collected it last night
quite excited as back in the day this was the car that I wanted and really got me into how mark 1's can and should look!
the pictures from the beach were how I always wanted my first 16v to be, and it never was!
although its slightly different...
I use 15mm fronts on a 182 cup pack and ET37 15" 7J wheels on 195/50 profile tyres with cooksport lowering springs and they rub slightly on the arches over big humps at speed. so you wouldn't want anything that wide for track imo, if I ran the 182 on track i'd take the spacer off and just use...
i'm not a massive phone person, I can take or leave them
however, and I know it happened a while back, but having an old xperia S its only just affected me, but why oh for the love of god why do I have to use a PC to double up my mp3's to use them as ringtones
that's some epically poor...
eh? your insurer wont let you repair and engine back to standard in a standard car but will allow you to take said engine, boost it, slap on a 6 spd and dump the whole lot into a mk1 shell???? wtf?
beautiful car and an absolute credit to you. as said by others its the attention to detail that really wins it
altho i'm also with the get some Renault centre caps crew ;)
swear it must of been same bloke, nova looked identical and there was single snap of the chevette on the back of a tow truck (personal one, not AA or out)
Right, heres another one!
I bought this on a whim last week with the initial intention of using the heart of the beast for the turbo and dare I say it, getting rid of boost.
So the plan was to strip this for parts, sell the shell rolling and keep the engine/box/wiring for GTT, sell the...
I've had my time with the williams', had a few over the years and they were brilliant and I would consider one again as a daily. but not right now, too many other cars I want to try!
if however I hadn't run one before, i'd be on it! :) don't get me wrong it probably wont be cheap etc, but for...
I've run several Williams' as dailys over the years but always been on the approach to kill them at the end so basically cost me nowt but servicing occasionally.
they don't fall aparts, they run fine if looked after and are no more a money pit than a 20 year old 182 will be when the time comes ;)
old skool cool remember having a doo with an XR4x4 over cat and fiddle in the winter when I passed my test years ago, in my parents G plate cav 2.0 gli. it handed me my arse, looool!
to be honest my head is so full of plans and ideas I have not a clue what to do at the mo.
long term plan is probably to bin the black 182 for parts, strip the RB back to standard trim, sell the bits and then sell it as a whole car.
meanwhile I'll make one track car from all the mk1 bits...
and I ran, I ran so far away........you know rather than having to face sorting through this load of scrap :)
its all got a bit silly, I've basically gone and bought a tatty replica of the pair of clios I already had! another mk1 track car and another FF 182 runabout!rofl!!
