All Racing Blue 182's on the Forum...

[NaplesValver]

So thought I would post a quick post to show my new little toy. 2005 Racing Blue 182 - Scorpion ExhaustView attachment 1357549 View attachment 1357550 View attachment 1357551 View attachment 1357552 , Decat, Matched Inlets, KTEC Induction and Remap, Gas flowed Head pushing out a healthy 189 bhp and 165 torque. Painted dash, trendlines and retrimmed wheel have also been done in my ownership along with most the mods.

I totally thought you had bought the car that was in the ‘Fast Club 2004’ article in Evo magazine, but the reg is slightly different!

As much as I disliked the UniRoyal RS3’s off for their dry grip. The grip they provide in wet and in the snow is amazing! I’ve passed struggling cars that a FWD hot hatch has no right to pass in the snow! Genuinely blown away by them! They will defo be my winter tyre of choice in the future.

i ran those last year, but they wore out so moved to the Michelin just as the winter set in. and don't get me wrong, dry and wet grip in them are great, but snow is genuinely scary

I'm on AD08R's Ben.

[Coops Mk1]

and how are they @Dr Jekyll ? i have some in the shed and if they work I'm swapping wheels later, lol!

 

[Jekyll]

No problems whatsoever.

I honestly can't see why people would be worried these. I use mine in all weathers and never had an issue. Certainly not one that I remember badly.

How much tread do they come with from new?

 

[Coops Mk1]

right i'm swapping then as the Michelin are scary bad, last time it was snowy think i had Pirelli p zero and they were great

 

[Jekyll]

Do it Ben. Only one way to really find out.

Stef, I have no idea. 8mm at a guess?

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah about that iirc

 

[Jekyll]

Few more from the other morning, #picwhore.

 

[wozza182]

That last pic is awesome. Really need this weather to do one so I can clean the 197 and get some nice pics.

 

[Jekyll]

I might adjust it a little more to brighten up the car and make the sunrise light more sharp.

 

[rsdan]

Been ploughing through the snow all week, poor pictures but there is an rb somewhere under all that snow .

 

[Stefan.]

You've done a good job at restricting any air to the engine.....

Did think this my self at the time mate. Tryed clearing it a couple times but it built up again so quick I just gave up and kept a close eye on the temp gauge:up:

The paint looks like a great job

It does, was meant to get it back on Friday but with the snow it’s not really been the time. I’m now going to want the rest of it done haha!

 

[imprezaworks]

What was the need for getting it done

 

[Gaz85]

What was the need for getting it done

Someone had done a crap job prior, so it needed to be fixed or I’d be annoyed ha

 

[imprezaworks]

Good stuff

Will you be leaving the stripes on

 

[Gaz85]

If you had asked me before I got it, I would say no they would be coming off but after taking all the other stickers off I actually quite like them. I think it actually needs them. I’ll need to re do the spoiler one when I put my cup spoiler on it. I think as it’s a track car it stands out a bit more, I had even considered going white on the sunstrip again, but I’m yet to decide.

 

[NaplesValver]

Quick Morrison’s jetwash to get all of last weeks scum and salt off the car. Proper wash this weekend hopefully. Came up quite well to be fair.

What happened

 

[imprezaworks]

I thought I was the only rb in the village

 

[Jekyll]

Few more from last week's white weather.

 

[Cerrone]

Had a bit of spare time today so managed to give the car a bath! Nothing special but after driving it 96 miles last weekend (that’s a lot for my Clio!) it was nice to see it clean again!

 

[gavinf91]

What happened

Crashed it mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

Sad times
