agreed about the fading, lots of 172/cup owners complain about fading but on the 3 track days I have done in my 182 I have experienced no fade?

exalto 2s are the best for wet and dry grip and they are very progressive, Lee and I swear by them! cheapest place is mytyres.co.uk

or wait a little while and get a uk non-pre-registered one from carselect for the same price and be able to pick the cup packs!

i wouldnt get your hopes up, they say that to everyone but very rarely deliver!

article in last weeks autoexpress

in the 0-100-0 test the 182 had a slightly slower figure for the 0-60 than when it was just the 0-60 by itself. This was becasue the 182 can do 60 in 2nd just about which means you dont have to change up to third which loses time. In the 0-100-0 test though the idea was to get to 100...

i paid £150 for my 12k on the 182 all in.

not sure sorry but when i had my service they cost me £100 fitted, i think that was 50/50 parts labour. doubt they are different to the 172 ones though

I dont really care about the 172 vs 182 debate, I know what I know about that. My beef is with 182 sport, simple as. I will not post again in this thread as I think I have made my point. Basically I dont believe a word he says. If he would clear his pms I would tell him why. Laters. (oh...

sorry, havent enquired about one but Jeremy confirmed they are avilable in another thread. How come you need one already?

mate, im not discussing the cup and the 182 as they are both pretty equal in handling and speed but i am saying that there is a difference between the 182 and the standard 172 (any excuse for you to post a pic of your beautiful new car eh!;))

well to clear it up, how about you send me a pic of you standing next to both your 172 and your 182 and i will not mention it again?

well I dont believe you as everybody else who has made the change thinks differently!

Yes there is, if you ever get to drive/own a 182 you will know this.

You obviously cant drive it properly then

Give it a rest boy racer!

any speed stats? [Edited by dave182 on 29 October 2004 at 1:46pm]

taken from micronets website: However, some of our new vehicles that are supplied new and registered in the month of delivery will have the supplying dealer as first registered for a period of either three or six months. I would investigate Lloyds TSB Carselect, I have used them and SteveV6...

dont remember seeing any cups in the gravel mate, you couldnt have been following them all the time;)

i dont think this thread is going to be here for long.......

call me the devil, but why not go for the best of both worlds and get the toys of the 172 with the speed and handling of the cup, a 182 with cup options?

yes but this isnt the point, we are talking about sourcing a new 182 not a 172, the market has changed since you bought yours and this is what is trying to be explained here. There is now no need to do the import route as you can source a uk one for the same price.

i went out at lunch to get it and had to go to 8 newsagents to find it and even then it was under the counter! It is spread over two pages and has the big pic of everyone and then smaller pics of everyone with their cars. Gives name, mods, expected performance, actual performance and your...

as has been said in another thread, they use their masssive buying power, I beleive they are one of the biggest suppliers of cars in the uk so get massive trade discounts. The cars are not pre-registered and come from a selection of dealers they use. Mine came from Sutton Park Renault in...

I have just read through this whole thread and I think the above pic above sums it up for me. I didnt even consider an MG when buying the 182 but did consider the CTR. I had a play with a ZR 160 the other day at the midlands meet as his was acting like a d1ck pushing his way into our convoy, I...

toppers, i wouldnt travel long distances either, i just phoned lloyds and they delivered to my workplace and took my p/x away with them, very easy. if you have an import car, you only get 2 years warranty, to get the third year you have to apply to Renault and most people use the letter...
