Anyone fancy posting this thread link to their enquiries email address?! :cool: "Look guys - just look at all of the positive feedback out there! Those CS mob guys have even emailed us directly. Gee, were great arent we? Lets open it up and see what it says! [double clicky, followed by 5...

I dont think the leadtimes have changed much. I had to wait well over 6 weeks for mine through Car Select, last December. To be fair, they told me that amount of time before I even ordered it, so I couldnt really grumble. Trust me, the wait will be worth it. I was smiling like b*****d the...

I think the 172 had a private reg starting A20 and the 182 - not sure on as it was on the other side of the carriageway. Anyone here? Just after 1pm this afternoon.... D.

That close to home on a smooth stretch of tarmac, eh? I was on that bit at around 10.30pm last night - would have been funny to compare my boggo 182 against a top-notch LAD version..... ;) When I went down South the other week in that stop-start car park that is the M6 - I was alongside a...

I take it that that touched a nerve, dave??? :p D.

Ive started noticing a lot of new shape Corsas (usually 1.2s) that try to out-run the 182. They are the usual blob of black on the road - black paint, heavy-tints, smoked lenses - only the reg plate and Vauxhall badging stands out! ;) Im just not sure why its the Corsas though. Maybe they...

Probably not quite up to Brazos and R-Jays standard, but I gave the wifes car a decent wash today...... after mine, of course! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/DSCN1639.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/DSCN1640.jpg...

You need a larger CS sticker in the rear screen. I almost couldnt see it... ;) D.

Probably not my cup of tea m8, but the only thing I would definitely take off would be the Sport badge off the boot. Thumbs up to you though - youve come on here and asked for honest opinions and took both the good and bad points on the chin. :D D.

182_cup - Id be interested in a replacement exhaust too. Not so much in terms of any power/performance gains - just purely from the acoustics alone. Given the nature of the 182 and what it represents within the market, the exhaust note of a standard car is bloody awful. Even the twin...

Just get the below from eBay. Point it at your drive....... and wait for the scum to return.... :cool...

Lee - I wouldnt worry m8 - mine does the same. In fact, sometimes it splutters and stalls. I always let it idle for a good 20-30 seconds before setting off though. D.

Good thread this. :D Given the choice, I would much prefer a cheaper/slower car & instructor combo than a much more powerful car with just myself on the track. Gimme a three-week course in a Saxo VTS avec le instructeur, rather than me on my ownsome in a Cosworth anyday... Anyone who thinks...

30, 54 plate 182

Christ - no wonder our premiums are sky high for sod all. Leo, your compo claim was way low from what you were saying - and that I agree with. But others? ....£800 because someone wasnt wearing a seatbelt? :confused: ....£450 anyway (Big G) - even though you said it was only a slight pain...

Ah, I wondered why that cover had a "Sinclair Spectrum 48k POWER" sticker on it.... Oh well - the next time I hear a clatter and see bits of spinning ECU out the rear view mirror, I know its finally worked itself free. :p D.

Common problem? Another Reno design classic.....! :cool: D.

How CLOSE does he get to that Scooby about a third the way through?! D.

Noticed it when I refilled the washer bottle today. Leeshez - I had to hijack one of your piccies m8 - hope you dont mind! :oops: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/Doofer.jpg That black curved casing (what exactly is it?) has a bracket running up to that silver screw & washer...

Nice day for it, Lee! Was it a special event today? I bet some of those old-timers were a right handful when the track was a little wet! D. [Edited by Darren S on 29 August 2005 at 10:06pm]

No probs with mine - they are superb, imo. The full-beam is pretty impressive too.. D.

Would it purely be suited for rallying and not track-days? Wouldnt mind taking that out around Oulton! D.

Feck - this has got me worried now. Set off this afternoon and felt the clutch judder like a right mofo. I always take it easy with clutches (managed 65k on my GT!) yet my 182 hasnt even done 9k.... Whats the next stage of the Dodgy Clutch Lifespan? Should I be expecting total failure soon? :o...

AutoGlyms Intensive Tar Remover is great at getting rid of speckled tar. Not sure how much your car got covered - needs pics m8.... D.

Put an R32 side-by-side against any Vee and the R32 would look like a chavved-up, over-priced, overweight Golf. Ooops - was I pointing out the blatantly obvious?! ;) D.

Good luck with getting a Mk2, Bailey - you know that 99.9% on here would do the same! :D D.

Has some pikey been off with the exhaust already??! D.

I bet they dont do em in black - Sparco Blue would look sheeeeeiit on a black gold car. Were the set you got a "one-size fits all" that you trimmed to fit the Clio? How did you mount the flaps onto the bodywork - via scrws & bolts or clips? D.

The car is secondary - its your age and the postcode thats important. Id hazard a guess that both Griff and R-Jay live in a decent area due to their quotes? Abridge - that seems about the going rate, in all fairness. Im around the £760 mark, aged 30, with 10 years no claims. Just live outside...
