Ive found if you buy from the Autoglym Van man and get the Tar and Glue in a 5l can its double strength compared to the watered down stuff you buy as a consumer. If you smell it as well you can certainly tell its stronger, same with the glass cleaner - also Rapid detailer, they do it as a...

Was going to say they've one at three sisters in the next month or so, be good to see a few 182 owners there.

mistake, too many windows open trying to type too fast! Do you attend any of the ExtremeBHP meets?

Nice one appreciate it, dropping you an inbox now too pal...

You're northern so will be fine at the likes of Three Sisters, Oulton, Curborough Sprint track?

Cheers for the help!

Car is running splash guards on the front. I'll get the mechanics at work to have a look at it and get it MOT ready. I'll mention the Olive joint to the mechanic and a genuine renault cat gasket too to him and get it ordered. I haven't got a sunroof or any water ingress anywhere so could just...

Blow from the exhaust, sounds like from the manifold, not had chance to get it up on the ramp yet. how much is the gasket for manifold to Cat, is it worth getting a sports cat for back pressure reasons or a decat? Not fussed on noise more for gains and performance will be tracking soon so don't...

Detailing related question guys and girls. Will be buying a Flex VRG3401 and using Microfibre pads, I've gone from machining my 14 year old Black Golf R32 which had paint like granite, talking 5 passes with an aggressive compound and still nothing. I now have a BG 182 thats covered in swirls and...

Apologies, What compound, pad and Machine do you use? Not a rotary fan at all. so would be a DA.

What compound, pad and machine combo do you use?

Buying a new Machine Polisher, Previously had a Black MK4 golf so the paint needed 5 passes before it was even moving swirls. My 182 is BG, wondering what pad and compound you find the best and how easy it is to mop and polish, how many passes with compound etc. I've been recommended Megs...

yes, ball joint and ball joint link to the wishbone

Bent ball joint, its currently in a downwards and lateral crescent shape and it currently jacked up on the driveway being fixed.

don't think its bent all at all as I spun in and it looked true by eye. I'll jack it up and have a look at the track rod end and arm along with wishbones and subframe.

Driving along spiritedly, hit a rather large pot hole, and now my tracking is waaaaaaay out, as in its pulling 45deg on the wheel to the left. not had chance to look yet as it was dark but will be jacking it up in the morning. Anyone give me an idea as to what it could be, tyre looks to have...

11th or 12th February? Now down to time?

There was my R32. When I first bought it and decided to show it at the Unphased show in Preston. Loved the car, didn't love the expense of absolutely everything. If im being honest chaps, I had to fit new discs and pads to the rear as I just bought the car 10 days ago as the discs had...

The brakes on my 182 seem to be for no better word, GASH! In fairness i've jumped out of a VW R32 with huge 334mm stoppers on the front, but a good amount of weight to slow down still and that could stop from 60 quicker than it could get there (or so it felt). But there just doesn't seem to be...

Saturday or Sunday then, which is best? Afternoon, or evening?

I've checked out everything, it all adds up. bigger bolt spacing, xenons, auto lights and wipers, climate control, titanium/grey wheels, Cup spoiler, but oddly no splitter? I'll upload some pictures tomorrow once I've washed it as its currently too filthy to consider uploading anything of...

Friday is a ball ache for everyone concerned, due to the chavs at the car cruise and the "MAJIK ROUNDABOUYTZ" where the cool kids drift their rwd cars. Oh and Friday also seems to be the VW day at KK, What about a daytime mid afternoon Saturday or Sunday meet? I'm near enough certain we could...

Went in to renault with the Reg of my car today for a factory spec list on my car... Full Fat cup packs, made up. considering the lad thought it was just a standard 182 CS. A nice little win for a Wednesday!

Not lowered, still on cup suspension. Im still running standard Factory wheels not turinis or anything fancy like that.

FORGE for the silicone intake hose, just seems daft to me how its £80+ everywhere I look. If anyone on here makes them or knows of anyone thats cheaper than Forge. could you point me in their direction ?

Whenever really, I get onto the M60 where it joins the M56 at Stockport, so I'm flexible with time completely.

Looks like we're building up a little head of steam! Lets keep it going and have a decent amount of us turn up and talk motoring crap for hours on end (y)

Want to fit some spacers to the car all around and fill the outer arch gap out a little bit more. 20mm extra on the rear, is that going to be an absolute ball ache with rubbing on the wheel arch, the inner bucket and throw a huge tantrum with my ABS on the rear, or should I go for 15mm in...

Do the second Thursday of February if that works for everyone? Saves us getting in the way of the rowdy show parking park anywhere VW lot that turn up on a Friday... Be good to hear what as a newbie to owning a 182, what some of you think a year or so down the line what recommendations for...

So i'm not sat by myself just yet! Let me see if I can convince my mate to get his out the garage and get down for a thursday. more looking first 2 thursdays of next month if that works?
