You get used to it tbh. Although it's not a major job so it can be swapped over back to the original within a few hours.
Its a shame that parts are becoming rarer for them now if you need replacements. Silly little things like gear knobs and 2.0 badges, which are prone to get scuffed aren't...
Silver wheels would look ace and if your keeping the ph2 side strips then the silver wheels would match the 2.0 bullets nicely. I think black on black has had its day now.
Still looks nice though :)
I love mine but it isn't mint. Not including modifying it, it will need a decent wedge to get it mint. However it does have lowish miles and is in decent condition for a 13yr old car.
So you settled on 20mm fronts then? Looks cool in pic 7 for some reason :)
Also I've got ph2 interior door handles if you want them? I took them off mine as I wanted the originals on.
Keep us updated buddy. I used a powerflex one recently but I think I'm going to do this trick again just for double strength. Infact I think I have some spare in my tool box.
Any PU sealant will be better than nothing tbh Guy. Once it's dried it will sag less/have no sag as they'll be no gap...
@guysy Guy, I did what you asked in the OP. There is a paint shop in Harlow called Leonard Brooks (next to the dairy crest/nhs walk-in center) and they sell tiger seal and a cheaper equivalent. It's under £10 and I did what your on about in the OP on my old 182. Worked fine and held for ages.
Lol. I will have a look at the manifold first mate. Looked last night and there £100+ for both of the vibratech mounts :(
I have decided to remove the whiteline ARB too. I don't drive it hard enough to warrant it on the car and would be better for the more hardcore person! So that and the Ktec...
Wow! What a complete roller coaster. I've been reading this all over the Xmas period, a few pages at a time. I knew this car on the forum but never took the time to read it.
Infact I had the pic of it with the bonnet off on the IK tests as my screensaver. Loved that look and when it was on the...

@Bobby. is a good lad!
No worries buddy. Yeah the noise was doing it slightly before but not as bad, the same with the movement. It's gotten worse over the last few weeks, but luckily I've been using Emily's car. I drove it today into Harlow and it was doing it then :(
I shall have a look mate when I jack the car up...
Got these turn up today:
ICV - Airbox pipe and coolant bottle lid by Dr-Jekyll, on Flickr
I can now fit my original airbox and remove the Ktec induction kit. I can also put an original lid on my new coolant bottle :)
More good news is that the underlay has stopped a huge amount of vibrations...
