My Racing Blue 182 Thread..

Thought it would be a good idea to have one thread open that I could update when changes occasionally happen!!

First of all purchased the car beginning of October 07 with just over 32,000 on the clock.

Could only drive it for a few weeks then had a operation that had me stuck indoors for 2 weeks.

Gave the RB its first clean and clay:

Next up came the Silvervisions - they make so much difference for such a small mod.

Even the smallest hands can get cut in the engine bay of a 182:

The 36k was fast approaching so had the AUX belt changed.

Nice thread, interesting you take the pictures of the mileage whilst driving lol

Not me taking the pics!!!
Got another yesterday of car hitting 38,000

nice thread and great pics seems like you've done loads all ready whats next for it ?

I've not really done that much to be honest, just little subtle touches!! Next up is alloy wheel refurb probably - keeping them silver as like standard look.
Before that happens got a MOT, holiday and the service with Cambelt change to save for!!!

I recommend the Eibach sportlines Lou, transform the car but retain the comfort. Oh and a Motherwell FC air freshener! ;)

Was giving the car a wee clean inside and out earlier today when I dropped my keys under the car.
Thought I would take this snap just for Paul to be horrified at!!! :)
