yeah I hated the NS2-R's as well, useless on road and track and loads of noise too, awful things. @dann2707 only tyre for that really that performs well on both counts are the old version of the R888's in medium compound. Not too noisy, okay for road use as don't need loads of heat in them to...

ad08 are a road tyre really, give up on track pretty easily too compared to a true track oriented semi slick. unfortunately you genuinely can't get the best of both worlds really as a proper semi will be uncomfortable and noisy on a mainly road car and a road tyre will give up on track. as...

Rolled home last night to a milestone of sorts

yeah as mentioned the eibach definitely provide a better daily experience but the H&R just perform that much better as an all rounder.

Rear stock size, front stock width and 86mm height iirc matey

Speedo runs off abs hence not working

that first picture, there's no sensor either? just a hole where it should be

i prefer my Janspeed to the my old miltek, better made, fits better and quieter. definitely my favourite system so far, so much so I've gone back to it after testing a load of others so its actually my second one

what a mess

1 and 2 no sunroof (some had dealer fit or aftermarket but none from factory) and 3 all came with sunroofs from factory

great little write up and looking forward to progress presume as not mentioned that the old tin worm is not an issue in this particular phase 1? :)

Cheers lads, yeah she'll be nice when done and used too, won't be a garage queen. As said the car means more to me than just money anyway so thy will be done @Daz. Be reet, where there's a will and all that. Be couple months minimum until it's sent off anyway.

So proceeded to pop everything out the bay And that's progress so far, rear end and underside next to strip. So refitted the lights and panels so the cover doesn't snag, wrapped her back up and went in for a consolidatory beer...... and a cry Things are about to get...

Right, reality just came and slapped me right in the f**king plums. The underside is just not pretty at all and there's little point going any further until it's sorted. I was getting too excited about refurbishing and buying new bolt on parts when in truth I was avoiding what I knew deep down...

Few more parts sorted this evening, track rods, rear shockers, oil cooler and driveshafts. All checked, cleaned, wire wheeled, hydrate 80 treated and painted. Cheers Ben

Let us know how the U rubber works out, amazes me how many more rattles my 182 has compared to the phase 1. Phase 1 is just so much more solidly built

It will be a completely different kettle of fish compared to the point in a straight line and squirt the loud pedal of the vw stuff

Also found my old carbon fibre engine cover set, appears my cf obsession was engrained way before the RB 182

Welcome, get ready to appreciate corners 😜

You mot history checked the reg? Maybe it's alive or laid up somewhere. Miss both my William's, should of kept them too, lol

Yes matey I think you should, original J plate is an enviable one to own

Height adjustability, dampening adjustability, springs easily interchangeable, most have camber adjustment. Basically just lots of flexibility

And get cracking @Sam16v great little car this will be

Trust you did up hand tight so next time don't have the same struggle :ROFLMAO:

Decent coilovers first, gaz gold, BC, or AST if you have the budget then roll kit imo

Plans sound good, sportsters are mega but every day having to up and over into them would be a pain. Ideal for a toy though

:ROFLMAO: if you note good Sir there are side trims on the lawn air fix picture, they've been in the car about 4 years so that's enough side trim, dosage complete

I just lean my leg against it while cruising, fixed

Looking good Tbh those carbon blanks look odd shape and bit bulbous anyway so I think sacking them off is right way to go
