lovely little project, keep up the good work
as above though, don't risk the fun with those sheep plates for fools, get some nice pressed legal ones with legal font, they look the danglies!
i always use second hand performance parts, and stainless exhausts are a definite worthy second hand purchase, none of the depreciation of new and wont depreciate again either really, buy one for 250 max sell it on for 250, no loss for using it
RS192 is pretty much like standard, as is janspeed silenced version, yozza/scorpion etc are a bit more on the......rowdy side shall we say, sound awesome but really grate after a while ime
as above, just slap it in the garage if you have one or park it on the drive, in gear with handbrake off. I wouldn't even disconnect battery, just start the thing once a month to keep it topped up and that way your cars still alarmed if any scrotes try to nick it
I will try again one day, preferably in a half a grand crapper I don't care about, which is what i'm hoping the new track car will be.........sorry Danny ;)
it is weird driving other stuff, toy clutches in them in comparison, I like a nice heavy one but when they wear they do go a bit silly heavy, the RB is getting to the point of being a bit stupid really so needs doing. its far far heavier than the mk1 and that's got a 4 paddle helix effort in it!
I have one still, had it fitted 2007 and still working lovely simple alarm, does exactly what it says on the tin and during setup you can make sure installer turns off the crap you don't want like the proximity beeps etc. that's what I did
rain? stop? think not!
I have one of those centre section rubbers in the shed somewhere, how come they are red instead of the normal black? I acquired mine somewhere, no idea where from!lol!
check inside the airbox, if its full of bits of crap downstream of the filter, its that
I had this, emptied the bits of rusty tumble drier tube from previous owners cold air intake that had rusted away and been sucked in and done, noise gone!
don't get hung up on mileage either, look for service history, belt changes and general feel of the car and owner. I bought mine for 2.6k on 103k and it drives and looks better than some 60k ones I tried in the search
ai, 80 odd squid for two new rear shocks and you'll be set for years, imo no point messing about....well unless you want to buy my rear shocks from the cup packed 182 i'm breaking............shameless plug ;)
2.5k will get you a reasonable 182 but not a minter.
personally I love the look of the 182, the exhausts do it for me, and the Full Fat is my weapon of choice as I like all the toys and half leather etc. the only improvement from the other specs of 182 is to nick the seats out of the trophy :)
ai don't remove it!! seen a mk1 on a rolling road go up in smoke as a result of no heatshield. less extreme if the cars moving but will easily ruin cables and strip paint/coating from the brake lines
