New 182 owner.....love it :)

[imprezaworks]

Sorry mate. When you have been here a while you will notice the love for turinis, every car needs them. Tbh they do look good but I'm from the dark side and will resist the force.

 

[Chr15 86]

Impreza works, is that blue one yours ?

Looks smart, What wheels are those and what size ?

Just got the sheep comment

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks proper smart that mate. That's the colour I would of gone for had I known it was going to be a keeper.

Sticker is proper naff.. its a new trend from one of the clio FB pages. Get 16' turinis, and lower it if needed, boshh

That style of the sticker looks oo:, the better ones are the ones in the trophy font.

 

[imprezaworks]

I have contemplated selling it but can't decide on what to get next. Clio is spot on, looks ok, goes well etc.

Not a fan of watching cars go round and round....and round for 24 hours then.

Understandable I suppose:tearsofjoy:

Back to clio's, how big of a job is it to fit the cup spoiler and splitter?

No mate, hate every type of motorsport there is. Splitter, ive got a fabia one (£12), screw/staple it to the underside of the bumper. Spoiler is 6 screws, and a slight change of the wiring for the brake light, or use laguna wiring.

Hates a strong word, how come?

Is it something a normal garage could do (the spoiler) or best to go to a specialist?

It's very simple. And swear away.

Its a cable mate from the laguna, so you could literaly just unplug it if you didnt want to chop anything

Is there a how to on the site anywhere ?

 

[Louis]

It's seriously easy. Go inside the car and there's 2 screws on the left, 2 screws on the right. (Torx). Remove these, and then there's two screws in the middle.
The spoiler then lifts up, you can unplug the connector, and then pull out the washer tube.

You may need to then extend the wiring on the car/buy the extension cable, and also get an extra bit of hose for the washer.
Then it's just reverse.

 

[Stay Puft]

@Louis' i thought it was a different plug??

Edit: depends which car the cup spoiler is from.

If I buy the extension wiring what is it I'm buying, as I what would I search for ?

Sorry, like I said I don't do anything electrical

It was literally an extra plug that goes into the brake light, and then goes into the loom on the car. To be honest if you buy a cup spoiler it's most likely to already have this. Mine came with the connector, which then led to it being a straight fit to my 182.

Cool, I'll keep an eye out for one. Got a few more important bits to find first TBH but can't hurt looking.

 

[Chr15 86]

Just realised I don't have a rear wiper, is this normal ?

De-wipered. Fairly common, I just did it myself.

Ah ok. Would I still hook up the hose for the screen washer if I put the cup spoiler on ?

Welcome. Definitely swap the wheels for smaller ones. 17" wheels ruin the dynamics of these cars. You need some tyre to lean on. 16" is what came on the 182s, the first 172 had 15s though. Either will work but I think on the shape you have, 15s look a bit small unless the car is lowered.

Any idea how much I could lower the car on 16's without running into any issues (rubbing etc)

 

[Louis]

Cooksport springs lower it nicely, or go for coilovers. Bilsteins come highly recommended from those who have used them.

Mine in the pic above is 30mm eibach sportline springs.
