[Timmay]

beast!

 

[Pete.]

Not too sure about the wheels. Are you tempted to cage it?

 

[Coby.]

Lush

 

[Pep]

Weight saved:

Stripping 33kgs
Wheels 24kgs
H&R's 3kgs

So this puts the bhp/ton at around 174.75, improved from 167 according to parkers weight of 1090kgs.

Edit, cage MIGHT be on the cards, but only if a cheap MSV one comes up or something, also not sure how insurance would take a rolls cage, i thought some had problems with them. But in no rush, spent enough already in the last 2 months of owning it!

Edit again! wheels were done as a mix of lightweightness, and cheapness of tyres. Plus I think it looks awesome personally

 

[Marky_]

Cool. Day to day car as well?

P.S. I like your wheels

 

[Pep]

It is my day to day car, it loves it

[Pep]

I'm thinking about std bump strips (uncolourcoded) some smoothed dark bullets and some matt black mirror covers....

Got my bargain discs delivered just, brand new brembo max's, £48 delivered

Thanks for the replies

 

[172bagss2]

Car & Wheels look superb mate (IMO)!

Edit, cage MIGHT be on the cards, but only if a cheap MSV one comes up or something

KEV at Birchdown is selling my old MSV cage - ask him about it when you're there...

 

[Pep]

^ not cheap enough for me though mate, i'm pretty skint and killing my finger means no weekend work for about 5-6 weeks so thats hitting my pocket pretty badly at the minute

I love the wheels, need to do a proper refurb job on them at some point though.
Thanks.

 

[Tigger]

I like the wheels on it, nice car

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good.

Why have you left the isobar?

 

[makavelli]

looking mint fella

get that isofix bar out that weighs a far wack

 

[makavelli]

lol posted the same thing at the same time as fletcher lol

 

[Pep]

The isofix is only in at the minute as I've got decat, brake discs, fluid and some other buts in the boot which the net doesnt hold down too well, so just trying to minimise the risk of them flying forwards in a heavy braking situation a bit more.

It will be removed once everything is fitted.

 

[Keith185]

get that isofix bar out that weighs a far wack

The isofix bar weighs quite a bit (over 2kg), srcew the fixing bolts back in and use a piece of wire to atatch the cargo net to them.

 

[Ian_182]

A very commited effort

well done

 

[Winston]

Very cool

 

[Mawv]

Very tidy looking 182.

 

[drhowser]

slutty..:approve:

 

[Pep]

 

[paul]

very nice mate!

 

[Pep]

^ Thanks tightarse

 

[drhowser]

shhh. people will talk.....


i'm just looking for the decals at the moment by the way.

 

[r8byb]

look's good Joe, looks really low is that just cause of the 15s ?

 

[paul]

^ Thanks tightarse

 

[Dan R]

Want a set of throttle bodies for it??? Im thinking of selling my car so will be selling my ktec/GDI kit off the car

 

[paul]

^^ sell me the wheels

 

[Pep]

Thanks Doug
Rob yeah I reckon so, I still have the nut in at the back, and the fronts have miles lower to go!

Dan, yeah I do want ITB's but doubt I could afford them!

 

[dzm]

There's a D-loops under each front seat. Unbolt them and rebolt them into the ISOFIX mounting holes and you can still use the cargo net, even without the ISOfix bar.

 

[Fletcher]

lol posted the same thing at the same time as fletcher lol

Great minds think alike

 

[Pettsi]

Looks prettyy damn good Joe.

 

[clio_mad]

Looks pretty good!

Have you thought about putting a pin stripe on the alloys in say silver just to break up the blackness between the tire and the wheel?

 

[Pep]

The refurb I did was completely rushed, so they dont look as pretty up close.
I'll do them properly over christmas i think. Unsure on going Matt again, or Satin or Gloss though...

 

[wolfclio182]

Certainly will be a beastie on the Tracks!
