182 Cup upgrades/mods...which?

[Dave H]

I have fitted 182 FF seats,a ff steering wheel and had a re-map carried out. What other modifications or upgrades would you recommend? The car is never tracked so l don't need brake/suspension mods doing as its well suited to my driving style as it is.

sorry well off topic mate but whats the differences between the cup/ff steering wheels ?

exhaust ? Xenons ?

Decent exhaust

FF ones melt less !!

I thought about Xenons.How easy it is it to fit ones from a FF 182? Can it be done DIY ? And how much? And secondhand xenons or new?

 

[Dave H]

Decent exhaust

Happy with the OE exhaust but l guess with engine mods it would be better to change.

My cars on 24k ...not too bad for an 05 plate and TBH apart from a rattle or two and 'that' noise from the o/s/f it's not missed a beat.

What bulbs are available for the headlights that are whiter than the standard ones?

Xenons are a straight swap. Not sure about your 182 cup, but on my Dynamique the adjuster cable wouldn't fit the Xenon plug (as they have auto-adjusters and mine's manual) so I just left it.

Lol - it will still rust. My Trophys one was blowing and that had only done 14K at the time.

I got some Osram night breakers and some decent philips bulbs and they are really good

I don't know who told you that, but it's not true. They both melt equally. In fact the FF wheel is arguably worse because the rubbers split. Both ugly, oversized wheels IMO. Granted the FF looks more sporty.
