I'd be happy with that, yeah. Thanks.

The belt.

2004 54 plate RB 182 (genuine) Cup - 74k miles. FSH - receipt for timing belt in 2014 - On removing the engine mount cover, belt doesn't look great so probably best saying it needs changing. Completely standard apart from Apex springs, Scorpion exhaust and I just fitted Powerflex engine mount...

I'm yet to wash it since buying it 7 months ago, so it probably looked like a big dusty poo gliding down the road. :) Yours looked lovely.

I think the plate was either V6 CLE or Y6 CLE, more than likely V6, but didn't want to assume.

I'm in an RB 182 Cup. I'll give you a wave next time I see you.

Hey, man. I've seen you posting in the Wales section, didn't realise you were so close. Saw you again previous to that driving through Fairwater, I'm just in Llandaff. Not far from a Trophy around the corner to me, that I posted in the Spotted section a while ago. :)

Yesterday, on my way to Tesco, saw this. Not sure he saw me, but I noticed a big stick on the right of the tailgate. Wasn't close enough to read it, looked like a club sticker of some sort. Really don't see many 172/182s around Cardiff. No idea why.

I'd be interested in popping along to say hi too!

Hmm.... Nice... :)

Just by KFC, going in the opposite direction at around 2:30 this afternoon. I waved like a "182 fwiend" in my RB Cup, but I guess you didn't see me. :)

Looks like some cheap Ebay item. Filters should be able to hook me up with a standard shifter. The clutch is a little heavy, potentially a cable issue, but will drop the 'box with more time and money when available.

@ADS1982 You'll be pleased to know, you don't have to meet me tomorrow now. I've managed to hook up with Mr Filters this evening, who kindly pointed out many many things that need some work. :) Thanks again for agreeing to meet with me so quickly anyway! You can just enjoy the long...

So, is that a new clutch then? It's really making me appear a right spaz behind the wheel. I'm hoping ADS can confirm this tomorrow. It's just a matter of comparing what we've both got, I guess.

I'll remind you Friday morning anyway. :)

Yeah, ok, that's great thanks. :smile::up:

Friday is perfect, yes. Thank you. Have I seen your car by the petrol station on the hill off the A470?

haha.. I'm in Llandaff. Ignore my profile pic, I'm not completely retarded.

This isn't a bragging thread, but a curiosity thread. :) Other than the awful ride from the Apex springs fitted on the car, the gear change doesn't seem right to me. The clutch is heavy, the change is clunky and I think it has a short shifter, which feels awful too. It seems to grind in any...

Thanks, man. Just ordered a clamp. Pray to the exhaust Gods to not let it fall off!

Apologies for resurrecting this, but it's this thread that has confirmed to me that I appear to be missing a clamp on my Scorpion exhaust altogether! As you can see, it seems to be stuck together with just paste. I'm guessing something like the following is missing...

That is on my radar. I think the cracked front bumper is putting me off. I can't stand having to talk to bodyshop guys around here. :) After RB, I think silver is next on my want list.

And by that you mean, all used car salesmen are liars and can't be trusted? :)

Thanks for the quick reply. The dealer thinks it's more desirable than the black FF 182 he has there because it's a Cup, but from what I understand the 172 Cup is the one the racers go for. I scanned the paperwork for dephaser receipts, so not sure about belts. Will check it out when I visit...

Hello all! I'm new here. Looking for a clean FF 182, preferably one that's had a cambelt/aux and dephaser done, with no more than 90k miles. I've got a maximum of £3000. I've seen an RB 182 Cup for £3000, with 86k miles. No sign of the dephaser being done in the service history, but I'm...
