I have just asked that.
Umm, I'm not a fan in all honesty. Looks do come into although it will be mainly a track car (yes it will regularly go onto a track).
I prefer the ph2
True.
I bet I could get it alot cheaper than that though and have it looking great for 2.5k including buying it.
It is a reasonably average mileage 04plate 182. You'd be looking at appox 3k+ for one from Pistonheads/Autotrader from a quick look
Just to add..
Respray = £1k??
Alloy refurb = £200 (would get new alloys anyway)
Wheel bearing = £??
Needs tax soon = £245
New steering wheel + boss = £150 max (omp wheel)
Damage was front n/s..
Also 6x9 holes is no issue as stripped rear anyway, or new parcel shelf is cheap
Any help/advise?

Pros: Seems cheap, decent mileage, some nice mods, probable room for negotiation
Cons: Needs a wheel bearing and a respray and has been crashed (cat c).
What do you think?
Good solid car in need of body work improvements or simply a shed?
Please...
Was only looking up to around 3k as a base for the car?
Not sure I've seen any orange ones below that? A few extra's would be nice, I will strip the rear but I'm not going to be taken 'everything' out by any means.
Oh that's cool.
Do want a track car but I want it to look good as well, looking at 172's now they are 0.1 slower to 60 than the 182 according to autotrader, you could make that up with a decent strip of the car imo.
Bright orange and silver theme :p
Thanks!
I prefer the look of the ph2 alot more tbh.
I know it doesn't matter massively for this instance but I would still regularly use it on the road.
Do 182 bumpers fit the 172 I assume and alloys?
Hi all,
Just joined as I am looking for some advise/want to share my idea's.
I currently have a VXR but don't want to mod it due to the lifetime warranty so I'm after a project.
The Plan-
182 (black/silver)
Stripped rear
Bucket seats
Cage
Coilovers
New exhaust
Lightweight alloys
etc.
Thinking...
