Just got a 182 and am absolutely loving it, the only downside is all the kiddies in Corsas who try and race me when Im going shopping with the wife! I test drove a few cars including the ST170, Civic R, Arstra Turbo and Corolla T Sport and nothing came close to it for driver appeal and outright performance.
Ive got a few questions to ask?
Do I need to keep the plastic engine cover on, it is protecting anything or can I remove it? do the Cup models have the cover on?
The engine sounds a bit throaty, like an induction noise or as if the exhaust is leaking a bit. Should it be smooth like a Civic R or do I need to get it checked out?
Also the clutch bites very high, and seems as if it can slip in 1st gear over 5000rpm. I know worn clutches normally slip in higher gears so its probably the wheels slipping, can anyone relate to this? The car has only covered 6000 miles.
