Mad how nice this looks and condition for the mileage! Where were the struts from? Need some for the Dci not the 182 though unfortunately! Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

It’s been a few years since I did it but I’m pretty sure I bolted it right through... used the existing hole in the sill and then used hammerite on everything. When I finally get a chance to work on it again I’ll renew them with captive nuts and dip them in chassis black to stop them rusting...

I ended up bolting a bit of 1/2” square bar to the jacking points, provides a good point for the jack plate and spreads the load out to stop the sills bending up [emoji1303]

Yer more than likely I think

He would’ve asked so there’s probably some reason behind it but I don’t know what to be honest

Looking for the previous owner of the above car Got a friend who has bought the car but no paperwork or V5 so was hoping the previous owner might still have it? (Was from an auction)

Drop me a whatsapp mate if you’ve still got my number.

You wouldn't think it would make that much difference to the stiffness of the chassis... But then again it was a tight fit! It's basically 'braced' on each corner. Glad you're enjoying it mate and have fun at your track day in the week [emoji1303]

I might've missed it but what brake fluid are you using? I use ATE Superblue (now ATE Typ2000) and haven't had any issues since

That is some of the best man maths I've ever heard. To the wife/girlfriend "but it's ok because the Brembos work out to be free!"

'Fan belt' Melon.

Little tip for the tensioner: use a big jubilee clip

Alright Steve this is Jon, Beth's Fiancé. Car's looking good, I'll have to have a look at it at some point! I like the new grilles, just a thought though it might be worth putting black mesh behind. Looks a bit more 'race car' and stops the stones on the rad [emoji1303]

I seem to remember it was you that told me this a few months ago Martin? Like you say if it's no benefit then I won't bother

Is that with boost? Or just the cams?

Hopefully a nice easy answer Need to do the cambelt on the 182 and thinking of dropping in a set of uprated cams (possibly 197) at the same time However in the future I think I want to supercharge it and have heard the stock 182 cams are the best when going boosted. Anyone able to shed some...

I started mine up at the weekend.... then locked it again for the next 6 months [emoji23]

Bad luck Rob. But being that it's a known issue it was inevitable really! I just rebuilt an EJ25 lump at work. Certainly a bit different to a straight 4...would certainly suggest downloading the service manual from the forum. We got all our bits from Graham Goode Racing. Really good company to...

Just wanted to add to this... I ran AD08R's all last winter and they were absolutely fine. I left them on because I was too lazy to change to the 'winter set up' of continental CS2's! But no issues and I just drove normally and didn't nanny about either (Y)

That honestly sucks mate Gutted I didn't have a chance to see it in the flesh before the prang as I'm a local I know the road you spun on. Nasty one that with a few blind corners. Almost did the same but it was a deer instead !

For anyone looking, this is a very good solid car [emoji1303] Previous owner [emoji4] GLWTS

Shame about the noise issues Martin Like you said though, could well be intake noise now!

Where are you advertising? Just asking for a friend.... Honest...

I'd say have a look at the bearings whilst it's out but if they look good I'd leave it [emoji1303]

What's the mileage? And is it standard power? Mines just hit 100k so gona refresh the top end but the bottom end is pretty bulletproof so just gona leave it...

I'm so envious of that spec list Very well sorted car Rob [emoji1305] and finished off nicely, I like the attitude of doing it right Can't believe I haven't seen it yet !

£90 now...

To be honest when there's no problems they are one of the best most comfortable cruisers out there. Just so easy to drive. But you never know what's going to need paying for next. It could be a fuel filter or it could be one of the many ECU's they have ranging from controlling the engine to the...

Deep pockets. Service often. Check gearbox has been serviced (every 36k) Front lower bj's always go. Check these. Oh and deep pockets. I worked for a Mercedes specialist...

I bet that sounds so angry [emoji16]
