[T3 JDL]

Nice looking car fella keep up the good work

 

[Alex5]

I like that a lot, although i like to be able to see the exhaust tips

 

[Clio-Ell]

Looks really clean. Wheel nuts would look fresh painted.

Im not a fan of the bolt on exhaust tips tbh, but each to their own.

Looks really clean. Wheel nuts would look fresh painted.

i know I think that's the next thing to sort out.

 

[Poopensharten]

That looks stunning Bobby - the stance is perfect!

Cheers Danny, the spring/spacer combo really does work on these.

 

[Gaz85]

[Kelv]

That's a Bobby-dazzler

You spy correct.

Cheers lawro

going up for sale soon though, I want another 1*2

 

[Poopensharten]

Really Bobby? How come?

Mad as it sounds - i will never own a 197/200 due to the mpg/gearbox nonsense :-(

This!!

Car does looks nice though

 

[Bobby.]

A combination of reasons I guess.

I want to put money back in the bank ready for a mortgage.
I've got to a point where i don't want to go any further with it.
I miss 182 ownership and track days.

I really don't find it that bad on fuel, I get about 100 miles to £20 which is what I was getting in both my old 182's.

 

[Poopensharten]

I hear so many mixed reports in all honesty Bobby! If a nice enough AG 200 came up with Recaros and Speedlines i don't know if i could pass it up

 

[Bobby.]

Problem is you would have to change your name

 

[Kelv]

It has a bit Bobby, gives a nice idea of it will look

I've got a plan in my head with how it will end up over the coming months, but I think the misses will end up using up until our ring trip, then it's all mine

 

[Bobby.]

Your R27 with AD08's on with have sooo much grip, it will be perfect for the ring.

Ive got good year eagle f1's on mine and they just seems to never let go, so I cant even imagine how much grip your going to have with the AD08's.

 

[Kelv]

Even better once the AST's go on I hope

ive made contact with custom cages aswell, £1000 for a full cage supplied and fitted, sooo tempting.
Still got the bimarco's and a few other bits from the Trophy aswell, so hopefully it will be a fun track car again soon

 

[Bobby.]

Your not f**king about are you!

Have you thought about upgrading your front pads? (Or a complete brake kit maybe )

 

[Kelv]

Complete kit ideally, I've been in talks with a mate about trying to squeeze a decent AP kit under the wheels.
time will tell I guess, but certainly be doing something in the interim.

 

[Matthew]

Looks bloody great!!!

A Ktec Sprint/Elia spoiler and that would be perfect!

 

[Bobby.]

I want a GT spoiler really but it's a hole tailgate jobby and I've given up trying to get hold of one.

 

[Lawro]

Cheers lawro

How much are you looking for out of interest mate?

 

[Bobby.]

Around 6k

 

[Jekyll]

Whats the plans for the 182? Comfy road car or fast road again like your arctic? I knew the 197 wouldnt last lol

 

[Bobby.]

Won't necessary be a 182, could be any mk2. I'd want a really cheap back ph1 the most.

 

[Bobby.]

And it will go fast road spec to begin with, then maybe more track spec.

 

[Poopensharten]

Great advert bobby! Well layed out and very clear to read - refreshing change from a block of words with no detail/poor grammar and no pictures!

GLWS!

 

[Bobby.]

Cheers mate

 

[Jekyll]

Know where there's a 182 for sale...

 

[Bobby.]

Talk to me mark.

 

[Jekyll]

Lol, well body work isn't perfect and I've got a knocking that is going to get fixed. However got cooksports and wilwoods for that fast road setup for you!

Pros and cons mate tbh. How much you looking to spend? I see you got the ph1 bug too lol

 

[Bobby.]

Tbh mate, I want a cheap one really so I can tinker with it.

How much would you be looking for?

 

[Mr R.]

Cracking car Bobby, you've made it look great.
