I own a couple, can I machine wash em'?? I've got a bottle of Chemical Guys microfibre wash solution, which I normally use when washing the microfibre cloths. Can I place the microfibre's in with the Der Wunder Towels and use the microfibre wash solution? If so 40 degrees c on the machine...

Looking for a good quality metal polish. Autoglym do one, any good or should I be looking elsewhere? Will be using the polish on stainless steel and polished billet alluminium wheels. Thanks.:)

Just started polishing the new car. The body is fibreglass, it's been re-sprayed within the last year in gloss black. Began using SRP via microfibre cloth with minimal pressure only to discover the paint was starting to rub off on to the cloth. This could be because a laquer wasn't applied at...

Once again my car has suffered at the hands of a vandal. Twice within seven days! Last night the aerial was unscrewed and taken. Anybody know where I can get hold of an aerial for a 182 Cup? Not too bothered if its second hand. As long as it's in good condition. Any ideas? Many thanks.:)

Last night some individual took a disliking to the passenger side front wing. Its been keyed.Scored into the plastic wing itself. Can someone advise on the best route of repair please,replace wing,re-spray etc? Also any idea on a rough outline of price. All comments appreciated greatly. Thank you.

Anbody know the exact paint code for O.Z.'s Superturismo WRC's (white wheels)? Or a can give me a code for a VERY close match? Tried phoning UK distributor, no luck. Tried phoning O.Z. in Italy, number out of service. E-mailing them now, but wondered if anyone knows of it already??? All...

So far current mods are ITG Maxogen filter, YozzaSport de-cat, BTB full system. Brembo Max discs, DS 2500 pads, braided lines. 4 x 16" O.Z. SuperTurismo WRC's. Tomorrow sees the addition of Cat 420 cams with matched inlets (manifold sprayed satin black) and fitment of 182 engine cover in...

Noticed the air that's drawn into the carbon air box is from the engine bay. Ok, a cooler part of the bay near the battery, but still not as cool as it could be? Anyone who has the ITG Maxogen kit fitted, are you using a cold air feed system? If so does it work, beneficial? Many thanks.:)

After the cams, inlets and re-map next week suspension will be next months mod. From the praising reports on here about H & R coilovers I think I may follow suit and buy them for my car. Question is, will I notice a difference over my Cup suspension? If so what sort of increase will I...

Having the inlet manifold sprayed in satin black soon when the cams are changed. Fancy doing a few other alterations in the engine bay also, not sure exactly what to do though. Any chance of seeing a pic or two of an already modified engine bay? Will help in getting a few ideas together...

Anyone know the exact percentage of power which is lost from flywheel to front wheels on a 182 Cup? I'd heard it was about 20 % loss???? Thanks.:)

Looking to buy a set of coilovers for my 182 Cup in the next few months so thought I'll start with the research now. Car will be mainly used for road usage with maybe the odd trackday. Many seem to recommend an H & R set up is the best to go for? There are others, are they better? Overall...

Spoke to Ben R at AngelWorks today. Opting for Cat 420's as opposed to 428's. The 420's so I'm told will offer greater low down gains over the O.E.M. cams which is something I feel the 182 lacks. I liked the idea of the sort of v-tech characteristics of 428's but didn't wish to lose any...

The other day I noticed a small amount oil had collected just above the silver bolt below the oil filler neck. Pretty sure I cleaned most of it out so I could see if something is leaking. It also seems to be making it's way southwards and collecting in a recess on the head. An area of concern...

Maybe not the most orginal choice but they suit the car perfectly. Extremely pleased with the addition of them!:D :D

Decided to swap my Exalto's over to my new wheels. When I last took a new tyre to an independent tyre retailer they charged me £20 to fit and balance, valve etc, per wheel. I live in the Braintree area, near Chelmsford and Colchester in Essex. Anyone know of someone else in this area that...

Noticed one of the silencer cans on my 182 Cup had come off it's bracket after a session of hard driving the other night. Clipped the hanger back into it's bracket and noticed that the tailpipes are poking out by 10 mm, and both have dropped by circa 10 mm. All bolts on the brackets checked...

Anyone know if these have become available yet in 205/45/16? If so, who sells em'? Thanks.:)

A question for those with a mild state of tune at 200 bhp. Hopefully once cams,inlets and a re-map are performed on my car I'll be seeing over 190 bhp on my 182 Cup. The car is used day to day for the job I have. Covering around 1250 miles a month. Is the engine reliable at around 190-200...

Soon to opt for a set of Goodyear Eagle F1's. I believe there's two variations of the F1's, GSD2 and GSD3. Does anybody know the difference between the two and which would be the better one of the two and why? Thanks.:)

Probably been asked quite few times before, thought I'd the question anyway. M.O.T. approcahing, not too keen on taking out the de-cat for the cat then de-cat back in again. If I can help it. Anyone know of a garage which is helpful/sympathetic when it comes to M.O.T.'s with de-cats in...

Looking at upgrading the cams soon for my 182 Cup along with inlet matching and a re-map. I've done a search, so I've a rough idea of what sort of price to pay and what sort of power to expect. I'm quite tempted by GDI's cam package, including matched inlets and a re-map. Good price also...

Looking for two pairs of Eagle F1's in 205/45 16. I'm thinking it's probably Black Circles or Camskill. Anyone else know of any others that are cheaper still? Thanks.:)

Looking to buy decent strut braces which do the job effectively. Just wondered what other's opinions are on what type to use? Not used strut braces before, wondered whats involved in fitting? Lastly, price and where to buy from? Comments appreciated.:)

Just recently the steering column controls have stopped working for controling the head unit on my 182 Cup. Also LCD display used to display the word ALPINE, but no longer. Tried pressing many of the function buttons on it in hope that it would work, all in vain. Would check the instruction...

Could somebody tell me the correct offset for 16" x 7" wheels when choosing a set of aftermarket wheels? Thanks.:)

I know this question has been asked many times before. Done a search also. Looked at a few websites already. Comparing prices. After a set of O.Z. Superturismo's 16" x 7 in white. Anybody have ideas of retailers which offer a good price. Many thanks.:)

Asked before I'm sure, already did a search. Anybody using White Superturismo's. If so pictures please. Thanks.:)

Fitted last week to the front: Brembo Max discs, Ferodo DS 2500, Goodridge braided hoses, fluid change. Felt fine when fitted, crisp and keen to bite. Waited 250 miles before giving the brakes a moderate work out over eight miles. After which felt fade. Used the car next morning from cold...

Does anybody have an idea how long this process lasts? Ive done a search and read the thread about it.Does greening only occur when new pads AND discs are used?
