    to be honest mate, you were doing 120, you obviously know the law (or found out at some point) because you have posted a likely sentence for the crime. ultimately you made a choice, im not sure how you can be gutted, you chose to put the pedal to the metal knowing the law, you get caught thats...

    182 - bizarre rear wiper activity

    rev limiter coming in early

    nice one, just make sure you are careful, quite enchanting that rev counter, hence why i said straight road which is better than a bent car that i nearly had when i cooked up the idea on 8 miles of b road twisties on the way home

    Anyone used www.carselect.co.uk for 182

    i bought both my 182 and 2 previous CTRs from car select. they are excellent but you have to be a lloyds customer to get the benefit. i paid 14788 for my 1st CTR and 12788 with both cup packs for the 182, all the cars are UK spec as they are supplied by select uk dealers who have an agreement...

    I want to get back into a 182 but...

    £13K is a lot for an 02 even with A\C check the trader and some of the honda forums, they are going a fair bit cheaper than that, my 02 CTR went for 11400 6 months ago no A\C and 28000 miles

    rev limiter coming in early

    Noticed today, engine was nice and warm (had been in the car for about 30 mins) and hit an empty bit of road, thought id stretch its legs to blow away the cobwebs etc. Never paid too much attention to the rev limiter but im sure i never used to hit it just shy of 7000 rpm. Im sure it used to...

    oil useage 182

    well, why not ask the people you so obviously trust about an oil change? would make sense to me and apart from that it gives you piece of mind as you so obviously trust them. im not interested in getting into arguments about engines although i still maintain that the science holds - four stroke...

    oil useage 182

    didnt mean to offend in anyway with the run in stuff mate, to put the record straight the things you read on the net with motorbike engine were all four stroke / four cylinder, the science holds ... and i got a 2:1 in metallurgy and software engineering and what i was taught tends to suggest the...

    oil spillage in boot

    didnt fasten the top on oil bottle properly and was greeted with the pungent smell of performance ST 10w/40... not much leaked out but enough to saturate a small area of the carpet in the boot. took carpet out today and the oil has perished the glue between the carpet and the felt bit on the...

    6000 mile update

    well, after doing the rag it to death run in (first 25 miles) as suggested in various places on the net, thought it may be worth updating on progress with the car so far. took delivery with 2 miles on the clock, delivered on a transporter. did the "text book" rag it to death run in period...
