I dont think anyone has heard of this mod? The 182 as far as i know has a different remap, exhaust (inc manifold) and different inlet plenum compared to the 172
Agree totally. I'd still love a non A/C 197 cup on coilovers :) Engine wise there is not alot out there for the 197 at the moment, but there will be in 5 yrs or so. ITB conversions etc
Aye spot on. I've also had the misfortune of Gaz coilovers. Never again. The H&R's are on a different level. Yes no rebound adjustment, but they are perfect for UK roads. Very controlled. I loved them so much i got a set for my 182 (first mod)

Just appeared at our local garage, cc (not a real cup ;)), last of the last. Good condition, green stuff pads fitted. Looks ok...
lol, 172 cup is a much better platform. The 182 cup was only 20kg lighter than a cup packed 182. 172 cup was near 90kg. Weight is a cars biggest ememy when it comes to performance. And why is the braking system any better? And whats this 182 crankshft mod?
They'd sell their granny to sell a car ;)
Everything else is spot on mind. As i mentioned above look through ebay for rear seats and door cards, there are always a few about :)
wheels arent lightweight, just a different colour :)
Just source a rear bench off ebay, there are always a few knocking about. You then get rear headrests too.
Pretty sure when the recaros were specced as an option the leather rears got ditched as the 'leather' (the Recaro's in the trophy and 182's arent!) from the Recaros didnt match. It was also to reduce costs.
Mine looks ok though ;)
its shocking tbh, i cant see how that garage makes money. That A3 has also been there 3 yrs, its a mates old one, thraped within an inch of its life, had a bleed on it ;)
