My new LY 182

[A-Jeffrey 172]

After searching the net for weeks I finally found the right car to buy. Living in Scotland it was always going to be a struggle to get a clean LY 182 at sensible money. This one was advertised about 500 miles away!! Needs a few things done cosmetically (full detail & wheel refurb) but drives without fault!

Spec
53k miles
full history
k-tec cat back exhaust
ITG maxogen cold air feed

Any comments and suggestions are welcome

Are these information for UK only or for the whole production?

 

[Stan.]

I think 73 were built in LY, might be wrong though.

Pilots on the front and conti sports on the back. Seems a strange set up but it grips very well lol

Think this is right. Theres a 74th in inverness that was painted from silver to LY by renault.

Sounds expensive, I wonder how much it would cost to paint my Trophy LY?

Totally different, a lot faster 317bhp/348lbft! But not as much fun but have another cup for that for track

itd be cheaper to buy a ly and swap everything over... That was my plan before getting an r27

 

[Scutch]

Yes. Lovely car mate.

 

[Lal B3N]

Very nice indeed! Enjoy it.

 

[Edges]

Looks nice!! Recently bought one myself and love it, got a load of work to get mine as I want it but the colour makes up for the shortfalls!
