Ye they are stacked up in my garage awaiting use, using my Turinis for everyday wheels.

Not sure when and where as yet, gunna try for Snet 300 around March time I have a few little bits I wanna do to mine as well before then.

Ah didn't see you mate sorry

Ah right fair enough. Yeah well I did snet 300 a few months back and loved it so will defo be up for it as long as everything goes well, think I might have to get one of those RStuners. That's ok, I was in my euro van haha

That looks pretty good mate. Glad you removed the tint though.

Yeah me two, still some slight glue round the edges I need to shift but makes it so much nicer. Took me a few hours though :-/

Little update of recent purchases

Basically in December I decided I would treat the 182 to a little refresh, so I bought new pagid pads and discs all round, NGK plugs, ignition leads, ignition coil and front strut top mounts. Review of the pagid brakes so far as only covered 100-150 miles so far are great, good bite when cold and even better when warmed up, no squeal or grinding. And added benefit of having the rear discs already being fitted with new SNR bearing and ABS rings and also means I now stop as the old cheapies the previous owner fitted were shite. New plugs and ignition parts have sorted my dodgy starting and misfire problems, but have now shown another unline problem which I think is injectors but I'll doubel check tomorrow down the garage. Anyway a few cheeky photos,

Also I to strike a deal at work so I got all the 3M stuff for free if anyone has used it before, what you think? I'm gonna give the car a good clean this weekend and compound it all over etc. so await more pics to come!

If you dont dare use the 3M stuff on your car you can use mine as a test

 

[KielT]

Haha I did expect to see something from you... I'm gonna blast my car this weekend then I'll start doing other peoples again. I used to use the old meguiars one but hopefully this one will be better. But be good to do yours as love the Monaco blue colour! Got an outside tap at yours?

 

[dmallett]

I wouldnt want to disappoint would I! and yes i certainly do

Also how much did you pay for the rear brakes? As mine are pretty worn and i want to replace them cheaply ha

 

[KielT]

Erm well I got them on staff, but I got all the pads and discs for less then a ton but I can have a look for you when back in work? Sure I can sort something for ya

 

[dmallett]

Have a look for the rears with pads if you could mate aslong as they have abs rings i dont really mind what they are. Be greatly appreciated if you could have a look

 

[KielT]

Ok buddy will do! Did I just see your interested in buying a ph1?

 

[KielT]

Very surprised this thread is still on here! Basically a quick run down of what's been going on since I last updated this..

Sold the car in July 2013 to a mate of mine as was moving out and needed some extra money, he loved it but fancied a a change and bought dmallets black phase 1, so I bought this back in November last year

 

[KielT]

Haven't touched this since November not even gave it a wash.. but decided to finally pull my finger out this week! So got my hands on a set of ktec coil overs and bought a load of parts from work to give a car a overhaul and sort the little niggles.
So jobs done this week;
Fitted the coilovers - need to raise the front slightly as scrubbing and running different rear springs as the ktec were too low for the look I like.
Fitted new expansion bottle and coolant flush.
New front top mounts.
New ramair filter.
Oil filter and Petronas oil.
Pollen filter.
Manifold to decat gasket.
Replaced my powerflex rear exhaust mounts with a different version.
Painted my upper inlet, engine cover, engine mount cover and upper grill.
And gave it a quick clean

So decided I'm going to get the car a little love and care as been off the road since December. Long story short, transit can decided not to look in his mirrors and crash into the side of me.. and then semi repaired that so I could keep driving the car until I got it fixed.. then the head gasket went.. so took it off the road and it's sat in the workshop since until now..pictures to follow

 

[KielT]

Pictures of it so far..
