Megane Trophy, Golf
ppysjrh said:Hey all. Just bought a 2nd hand 182, black gold with cup packs and Recaro Trendlines. Should get it next weekend...!
Am just wondering what the consensus is on the "basic" tuning options available for the 182, eg K&N air filter, different spark plugs etc.
Anyone fitted any of these modifications, do they make a real difference? What happened to the warrenty?
yeah mate! got a panel filter K & N for me cup and some Denso iridium spark plugs! noticed quite a difference!

Not sure mate! thrown box for the plugs away! they are the ones with platinum and iridium, its seems a lot smoother and better acceleration!

It does slightly misfire til it gets warm! so the NGK plats are the best for it then?
Black Gold 182 Cupped up
Hi, I was interested in the comment about "K & N loseing you power" on a 182, is this for a replacement panel filter or induction kit? why is this? do you think the standard airbox is pretty good to start with?

What about exhausts?

Agreed. Again I haven't heard any bad reports about these guy's exhaust. Don't forget BBPT (BB Performance Tuning in Essex). They've start getting custom jobbas built, through another company.
If like me you want something good (stainless) & reasonable go for a Blueflame Exhaust. Just got mine fitted. Foooookin excellent! Really sounds puka. Pulls a lot better through the rev range in all gears, a little more torque I recon in gears.
I'd go for ITG Filter, Exhaust, Brakes, Springs + Shocks, Inlet Matching, Chip. In that order (this is just my opinion).

Cheers guys, this is the best advice so far. Most places just want to sell you there stuff.
Brakes - What do you rekon? I already have Cup set up.
Springs and shokes - ?
Chip - by who?

you dont say what your budget is.
Brakes - Shed Motorsport Compbrake 4 pot kit on a 2 peice 295mm disc.
Exhaust - Shed Motorsport BTB cat back system
Shocks - H&R coilovers
Chip - no, remap yes!
i am a little biased, but then if you want the very best, then these are the only real options (apart from angleworks exhaust system, but who knows on price and when its ready).

hi haitch, got the call on friday that the prototype kit was finished, so i should see it tuesday or wednesday.
Pad wise, compbrake reccommend Hawk pads, but they are same design pads as another calliper thats out there, so gonna investigate and see whats available!
They are designed to fit under 15's! using a pretty big 295mm disc!
prices need to be confirmed, but they will be about 650, plus pads.
pics and details will up as soon as they come through!
