Glad your back and sorted! Can't wait to get mine back as well. Andy is a good bloke, we've all been through difficult times so a little understanding goes a long way.

Awesome mate glad you got everything sorted!

Thanks RDH :)

Nice description haha bet its a laugh to drive!

Cheers James, yea its so much fun to drive, its nice having power below 5k rpm.

Lol it makes way more torque than a standard 182 @ 3500rpm!

Yea the torque makes so much difference over the standard car especially under that magical 5k rpm mark.

Thank God is finally sorted, this reads like a series of watchdog! Can't wait to see it.

Haha thanks bud, im just glad its all finally sorted and I can enjoy it, it finally feels worth it :)

Great news mate, finally happy with it?

Very happy mate, its too tempting to give it a quick blip when im out so I tend to try and stay at home lol.

Quick update nothing much.

My O rings were knackered on my map sensor so i ordered and fitted a new map sensor.

My f/n/s arch liner somehow flew off so i ordered and fitted a new arch liner.

I was checking the car over this afternoon and noticed that i had a cracked n/s/f fog light so i have just ordered a new fog light.

The car is still running brilliantly and i am loving it atm, theres a little patch on the front bonnet and a little patch on the rear bumper that i need to sort, and i need my wheels powdercoating(or new wheels, standard 182 ones or turinis if anyone wants to swap?) because the spray job i had done previously has a few chip marks, and i need a new horn because water has got in it with having no arch liner.

When i get these done i may consider selling it, im 50/50.

Think I've mentioned before but I've got some 182 wheels in my garage you can buy off me as they're just sat around doing nothing. Will need a refurb though as they're flaking.

Tbf it may have been someone else I mentioned it to, I've had them that long!

All have centre caps and have tyres with loads of tread left but 2 tyres are 195/45/16 and 2 are 205/45/16 I think. Would only want about £80 for them but if you're interested let me know and I'll get some photos for you.

No worries dude. I've been meaning to clean them up and bang them on eBay but I've just not had the time to do it as yet.

Glad to hear the car's still running well, definitely need to get a meet sorted so I can see it!

New fog light fitted today as my old one somehow had about 37 cracks in it.

Things to sort..

New breather plate needed, this got posted to me today.
Wheels powdercoated/new wheels.
A 10p sized mark on the rear bumper, this should be free as i only had it painted a few months a go and it has developed a crack in the paint.
A 5p sized paint bubble in the bottom far side corner of the bonnet, this isnt rust, water has somehow got underneath the paint when i had the bonnet painted a few years a go.

Then the car will be perfect, but i will be upgrading/maintaining parts as i go, keeping the exterior oem.
