After 5 long months...

[Richyy182]

The 182 is back on the road. New engine fitted with all belts and dephaser fitted, new ball joints, new battery, basically its had £1700 thrown at it. Going to run the engine in for a 1000 odd miles but it feels so good to have the 182 back after so long. I'll get some pics up at the weekend after its had a good bath. So, so happy!!!

Best hot hatch ever

Was it a secondhand engine?

 

[Richyy182]

Do you think so ?? When I say new engine I meant new old one

i am confused....

 

[Bluebeard]

So you've fitted a secondhand engine but renewed the belts etc?

Fcuk running it in, just go and enjoy it! You've been without for 5 months! lol.

 

[Richyy182]

[172Ben]
