oh and my car is around half a person lighter than a standard 182 anyway!
and i do find it fun.
its not like im saying 172 are s**t or anything. i think they are great
sorry mate not wanting to start a war or anything! lol. calm down!
take it you have driven both cars then?
not a lot in it at all but i prefer driving my 182 to my brothers ph1 172.
just my opinoin, NOT a fact
i like the look of black cars with white wheels.
you already know what antharcite will look like, do a search for white turinis :)
i would say white, then white front badge and 2.0 side badges ;)
i had one for months. didnt notice any difference at all. not much in noise either. think it messed up a lambada sensor too. when it came to mot time, put my cat back on and i really struggled to pass on emmisions.
i would say its not worth the hassle tbh
MRBILLYUK's way is spot on, its a great help!
i have changed my sidelight a few times now trying to find a good xenon match, but i wasn't happy with any of them...
so like Alan said, i just removed the sidelights, looks way better! pure xenon power :)
i had this! it really confused me.
i was working on my car a few weeks back and had the battery out for 30mins when i put it back in and started my car the auto lights came on!!! lol. i was well chuffed!
glad you got it sorted mate
haha
dave!!! how are you mate?? very long time no see!
good to hear you got yourself a 182. sounds like your enjoying it :)
i will post a pic up of my car so know who your looking for.
but it now has these for a more unique touch ;) so you will know its me!
sorry for hyjacking your...
i reset my mpg meter last week and drove 4 miles pretty steady but not stupid steady and i got 46.8mpg!!!!!
but mixture of motorways and city driving usually averages at 36mpg. it im taking it steady its more like 38mpg
yeah that pipe is basically a battery overflow pipe. its open ended but connected to the side/top/back of your battery at the other end if you trace it back.
lol, first few times was a b*****d! used to it now tho, i change the sidelight bulbs in like under a minute on each one! lol
no sidelight bulbs atm tho, looks ace, no sidelights just pure xenon :)
acoustic removal is easy. its in the passenger side wheel arch, its got a butterfly mechanism in there and its smaller bore that restricts airflow. took me half hour to 45mins to remove. really easy tho, search 'acoustic valve' and you should find an easy step by step guide to removing it!
and...
the diamond is the neaest thing i could find in a rattle can to black gold. its not spot on but very close. the diamond jus carefully pulls off. just be carefull not to break the pins that attatch it. you have to pull the diamond pretty hard to remove it!
easy job tho and looks good. main thin...
hmmm. well we tested that out today too.
both cars are standard performance wise (no engine mods) i had a full tank of fuel in my 182 my bro had a near empty tank in the 172.
i have no rear seats. so it prob makes up for the fuel weight difference.
then there is the difference in drives, gear...
