My lovely 182 gone :(and replaced with ph1 225:)

[The Russian.]

Well after 5 Brilliant months of ownership with my arctic 182 it sadly comes to an end.


The 182 is a fantastic car and it really suprised how well it handled and shifted, its one of the best cars I've owned with how cheap it was to run and modify, and will definitely buy another in the future, I won't be leaving this forum as you lads have been a great help since day 1 and to the forum users (just buy the sodding membership it comes in handy and saves money in the Long run.

Enough blabbing here a pic of my arctic

And here's a pic of the beauty I pick up tomorrow

i will be doing a project thread with this car has I have a lot planned or it.

Mods include

Recaro trendlines
r26.r spoiler
Clio v6 Airbox
forge actuator
Forge recirc
630cc Siemen deca injectors
2.75 Full stainless
Forge intercooler

A big list I know, but chatting to a few people I should see around 300bhp or near

I keep you guys updated and like I say I'll will be staying so any more info or criticism welcome.


Thanks for looking cs'ers

My Clio was written of the other week but with minor/minimal damage, just need a new boot and bumper, but got talking to bomber on here thanks to Gray and we worked out a deal.

 

[bmh.01]

Add a hybrid turbo and a decat to that list if you want to be seeing 300bhp. Otherwise no point in the injectors and you'll be looking at circa 270-275 depending how good it is.

 

[The Russian.]

Im am know the onwer of the ph1 above, me and gray had a trip to gloucester to pick it up of bomber (nice guy) amd it drives brillinatly.

Im on megansport bmh.01 been speaking to Mj no hybrid turbo needed and it will be de-catted.

 

[Tomas]

nice upgrade, plans sound good look forward to seeing progress

Thanks for looking.

 

[Gray]

Much better.

It's screaming out for PH-2 rear lights

 

[The Russian.]

Haha I know mate, ive pm'd ads to get prices and coley is spraying it. Yessssss

 

[Ash87]

meg looks nice, tasty mods on it too

 

[bomber]

Nice one Jacob, actual christ will only know how it got so much tar on it recently, they haven't resurfaced anything local?!?! PH2 lights and a decent spoiler will set it off, glad its gone to a decent owner too

Now its decision time on the 182 eek...

edit; dont forget it's got Trophy springs too, 15mm drop apparently

Cheers bomber, I try my best to keep it looking clean, the ph2 lights and spoiler will change the back end completely.

The wheels, tyres and suspension give really good handling.

 

[mjf93]

Looks very nice, these always look very smart. How do they compare to the Clio? Are they much quicker or just more grunt from the turbo? They must be a Astra VXR rival? Although i've heard the Astra's suffer from turbo issues and weak gearbox's.

 

[The Russian.]

I'd say it's a lot quicker, thing is with the Megane there is hardly any turbo lag, and picks up speed like you wouldn't believe, I was sat at 75mph and felt like I was doing 30mph and that's at 2,500rpm in 6th.

 

[-KarL-]

Very nice, have a look on the forsale section over on MS for the short shifter, must have mod

 

[The Russian.]

^^^ already know about this mate, my previous 225 had it, it makes so much difference.

 

[bmh.01]

Im on megansport bmh.01 been speaking to Mj no hybrid turbo needed and it will be de-catted.

You won't see any more than 285-290 tops. Hybrid is needed to get to a solid 300bhp. A decent stage 2 will make 280 with a cat still fitted, far less hassle and expense.

 

[The Russian.]

Bmh.01 could you tell me the actual code and name for the colour of my car, you seem a man to ask? Thanks

 

[Nafoff]

hmmm...... must stopping thinking about these,
great purchase, i done a fair few miles in this one and it truly is a real nice car to drive,

 

[The Russian.]

Little updates, I've treated myself to a forge air intake kit, forge recirc and short shift mod, panel filter will be coming soon, along with r26.r spoiler.

Should be fitted one day this week.

[The Russian.]

[The Russian.]
