Absolutely mint! Loving the engine bay and interior lighting.

Annie · Mar 11, 2006

Lovely car, really like the dash lights.

Same colour calipers as me, you must have good taste, hehe

id_doug · Mar 11, 2006

Looking really smart mate. As mentioned dash looks really cool, but lose the seat belt covers in my opinion (very M.Power'ish)

Just out of interest, how did you polish your engine bits? And was it hard / take long to do?

Annie · Mar 11, 2006

I was going to mention the harness pads but didnt think criticism from a female would have went down well!!

Alan · Mar 11, 2006

Very very smart indeed!

Adam · Mar 11, 2006

very niced indeed mate....
love the rs badges on the wing...
only thing for me...loose the sparco harness pads

Scott · Mar 11, 2006

E-ray_172 · Mar 11, 2006

RussZS · Mar 11, 2006

Stunning engine bay

Loose the harness pads though

Guy · Mar 11, 2006

what else you got planned for it then?

wish the mk2's had the coloured lines under the renaultsport

Rich · Mar 11, 2006

Looking good. Inlet looks spot on, and liking the blue dials.

Not sure on the RS wing badges though.

is it hard to do?

Tyson-182 · Mar 12, 2006

Mint pic, awesome engine bay! Need to lose the harness pads though..They look cack.

Tyson.

RichMcc · Mar 12, 2006

Sorry about the harness pads folks they're functional as opposed to being there for looks, Seat belts always pull really tight around my waist so I have the pad there so I dont get cut in two lol. Its unconfotable without em

Anyway they dont match.... yet!

Im doing a guide for the LED's and its almost finished, will post when completed. As for the manifold do a search for "polished + manifold" Im sure Ive explained it in a post or two before.

Coming soon is: -
Blue samco's, few bits of engine bay bling and struts.
16" turini's + 215/40/16 toyo's
Spare wheel well removed, custom 4-2-1 manaifold, de-cat, 182 style prospeed zorst.
mk2 rear bumper and cup spoiler.
Black with blue alcantra recaro's as in the F1 megan with retrimmed dash and door cards in black leather/blue alcantra. Stripped rear and decked out with a spare turini in the back and rear roll cage.

Not saying what Im doing to the engine

Cant wait for my pay rise so I can speed things up lol

And thank you all for your kind words, I didn't expect such a good response

CHRIS172CUP · Mar 12, 2006

Please lose the Seatbelt pads. They ruin a lovely car.

$torm Rider · Mar 12, 2006

Car looks tidy mate, you know you want to drop it more. Slam the b!tch i say

. Engine bay looks wicked and I so want a blue lit dash!

Neil82 · Mar 13, 2006

LMAO at the blue theme, you think that looks good? Are the seat belt covers a p?ss take? I just noticed the RS badges hahahaha

Baby D · Mar 13, 2006

Relax man they're just there for comfort which comes before looks!
no need to be offensive.

With a something like this, retrimmed dash, door cards and stripped rear. My pads would look at home on 3 point harnesses :rasp:
Also with my spare wheel well removed, stripped, tidy seats and turini's it will weigh about the same as a cup. :rasp:

anyone would swear I stuck some multi colour neons and a mahusive fast and furious spoiler on!

Its velcro.... they come off lol

It won't weigh the same as a Cup even with all that stuff removed.

lol at Neil. I dont think I have ever seen you say anything on the forum that isnt slagging someone.

You must be a very angry young man.

PS. where your "14.1 pre-maxogen" gone. Cant live up to the hype anymore. :rasp:

Leeshez · Mar 13, 2006

recaro182 · Mar 13, 2006

ah, so youve got an S2000.

Made any friends on the Honda forums yet.

I assume the S2000 you bought is also faster then any other ever made.

Ali · Mar 13, 2006

Neils Penis was injured in a nasty s-melting accident hence his abuseive and sour nature

Looking good mate, but the LED's look awfull bright and outwith the bits there supposed to be lighting up. Could just be the pics tho

Not a huge fan of the blue wire covers but it's nearer i suppose. Strut brace, batt cover strut covers, Crome bonnet lifts all needed

Ali

al · Mar 13, 2006

Engine bay looks sweeeet!

Bitter your "205" hp is slower than my Cup was with less than 800£ worth of mods? How much have you spent on your 182 again, chuckle chuckle.

I call it how I see it (the guy asked for comments so he got some) this guy obviously has chav tendencies from the mods hes done to that poor car. Couldn't give a toss if you agree with me or not.
