Hello

[RSOILC]

Hi all, a newbie here,
I have recently just purchased a 2004 182 49k miles in Artic Blue.
Its in factory form apart from a Miltek system.
I have had many cars over the years from mx5's, m3s, caterhams etc etc,.. but this little thing has me bent over a wall with enjoyment, i purchased my 182 to drive / enjoy and thats all i have been doing since 3 wks ownership, even to the point of my daily has been parked up since it arrived.
Any how i will be doing Oulton and Anglesey a few times this year and no doubt daily driving to the workshop everyday, i have access to ramps etc so hopefully will post some antics for all to read at some point,...Thanks All.

Forgot to add they is a set of eibachs and omp wheel, ive just replaced the rear discs and pads standard pagid, fronts ive done with delphi discs grooved, pbs pads hoses and 5.1 fluid

Eibachs improve the side profile looks dramatically. I've had Sportlines on mine for well over a decade now.

Welcome aboard too!

 

[RSOILC]

Ye it sits well on them, i am gonna order some b14s in the near future but for now they doing fine

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Welcome. Fellow Arctic owner here, more or less standard except for a Yozza sport exhaust and grams springs. I've had mine almost 16 years and still love it 😊

 

[RSOILC]

Nice,.over the years ive driven and worked on many and always been intrigued, this one was in a mates collection of cars and he finally let it go, ive just given it a refresh as wasnt being used at all, belts service etc..its great, looking forward to the summer 😎

yes Anglesey is great, its about a 2hr stint for me but worth it, Oulton is only 20mins away which is a bonus,..

All sorted now thanks,..

Installed the k brace from baf, lovely bit of kit, just ordered some corvette c6 ducts,..just wish i could make my mind up to remove the rear seats 🥴

 

[Bankrupt_drunk]

Did you notice any difference with the k brace?

Did you notice any difference with the k brace?

If im really honest, the car doesnt seem to be as unforgiving with lift off oversteer on the back,..but it may of just be me getting more confident with fwd,..always been a rwd bandit 🤣,..very happy with it, great welds and fits flawlessly

 

[RSOILC]

Did you notice any difference with the k brace?

ill tell you what made a hell of a diffrence was that zpo i bought off you,..feels like im not rushing the syncros as it changes so much smoother even with the longer throw

I live in N/E Scotland, Anglesea is around 560 miles from me. I am there in May, Oulton the following day. Spa in July, around 1200 miles away. When I do Spa, I will be 82 years old. If I can do it, it is NOT too far for you!!. Come on my BD, just get it done.
