In all honesty I tried half heartedly 2 years ago and since then with it being a daily just cba.... may try that though, good tip!

Old and dirty matey, even autosol and the wire wool doesn't bring her up anymore

Quick bath for the apocalypse :cool:

basically echo on all the above, you need to drive the right one on the right road and you'll get it then. I bought mine as a logical progression from mk1's when they became less available and not so reliable to daily. It was a stop gap car before I 'grew up'...…. that was 8 years nearly and...

They're incredibly rare, expensive option paint that's very marmite. Personally I think they look incredible.....but I prefer my RB as I just think it suits the car better. But that paint, such a good colour

Looks lovely, nice save!

Keeping it in primer then 🤪

Welcome back, car looks tidy I personally think the standard tips look lost, I'm on a Janspeed, very quiet and fits lovely imo. Excuse ditched car, 212k daily life :ROFLMAO:

it's not, hence not sold

as above, mine doesn't use washers at all, just the proper alan bolt terminal connectors supplied

Tbh @0ss looks about 15 🤷‍♂️

I'm 36, I think, at age now where have to work it out from year I was born, flol. Still blat about in a bright blue 182 with the wrong rear badge on it..... Don't give a f**k as I'm smiling the whole time and to me that's all that matters

welcome, car looks lovely. Can't beat RB :)

As above, one of mines been welded and additional brace bolted on and been fine years

not so much gains as just insurance against hitting duty cycle on the standards, 182 injectors works pretty hard up around 200bhp

edit, just seen you're going to split bottom end anyway. i would still personally stick with standard pistons and rods etc and no balancing as then if something does let go, replacing the bottom end would be cheap. that why i've stuck relatively stock for the actual engine itself.

as above really, you're on right track. it's all budget dependant though. my ideal setup would be: - ARP rod bolts - supertec valves - lighted TTV flywheel - 197 cams with 8 degree inlet advance - 182 exhaust manifold - remove PAS, A/C etc - RS2 Inlet - 197 injectors wouldn't worry about...

but also technically the tester can only test what is there, so if there is no airbag they can't fail it on it as its not there to test hence interpretation of the rules can lead to different MOT testers providing different results

not read all this, but my 182 gets 12k a year stuck on it, I've run it daily for 8 years nearly now and no way i'd sell up for another car the same on lower miles. 100% better the devil you know. 212k on her now and plenty of pep in her step I also have some bills imminent and corrosion issues...

ai its one of the relays on the 'UCH' (not really a true UCH in the phase 1 cars as pre CAN) but either way have a wiggle at them located passenger side under glovebox area

Note, still no 211 vomits

nice :)

Big Steve to put da RB in da weeds, mint bruv ;-)

152 :love:

Mine made 212bhp peak and nice flat torque curve (159lbft peak) with 197 cams with 8 degree advance on inlet cam (no idea what group n means, actual degrees is what you need to know) supporting mods of rs2 inlet (original version) 182 exhaust manifold and 197 fuel injectors Chris @efi mapped it...

Thankfully I had all the parts in the shed waiting, radiator think I paid 15 quid for, coolant was 15 quid and header tank was a tenner then about two hours of my time to fit it

I think I agree, the clash of OEM and motorsport for me just doesn't quite work. As mentioned though, mega effort and as ever fit and finish superb Mark

So weather just about held off enough yesterday to work on the cooling system and replace the knackered radiator. In bits Old radiator out, see the split where it's let go New radiator with fan assembly mounted and new header tank Fitted and area cleaned up a bit New type d...
