Expecting a delivery today

[2001clio]

Ok,so this morning Im expecting a slightly twisted 182 to show up

I spoke to the previous owner last night and the good news is it drove onto the transporter under its own steam and it has been tweeked a bit already. KTR stealth exhaust and de-cat.pipercross filter and a re-map on the engine,its on coilovers but the rear left is goosed as it was slid into a kerb.

This afternoons plan is to strip and assess the damage and order the replacement parts,all mechanical apart from a rear bumper and a sideskirt,and get it jigged to make sure everything is straight. Will hopefull post some progress pics asap

I also have a few interested buyers for it once its back on 4 wheels again so there could be room for a williams in my garage should the right one show up

Do explain?

I never even noticed that's impossible :S

However,the last owner (john) now tells me that when he bought the car it had a custom stainless that was way too loud for him and he swapped it for a stealth tail pipe from his mates 172 :S

Can that even be true??? I would have thought the exhausts would have taken different routes as the 182 is a twin exit.

I bought the car without seeing it and now im starting to wonder whats heading my way lol could be interesting.

Hope for your sake he has got his words in a muddle as you can't put a stealth tail pipe or any other type from a 172 on to a 182......hope it is a 182 that turns up on your door step later....

That's exactly what I thought at first!!

^ lol I remember that!

It sounds to me like this guy either doesn't know his stuff or is trying to tell porkies lol. I'll be interested to see what you get, pics are essential!

 

[Cal182]

Well the morning has passed and the OP says they were getting it this morning. Be interesting to see pics.

 

[SteveS Cup]

It's gonna be a 172 isn't it!?

 

[Soot1e]

Bit of a gamble mate, especially buying it unseen. This kind off thing gets my juices going, if bought cheap, cheap. Hope it is an easy fix for you.

 

[dave126]
