RB182 Daily Thread

[Chris205]

I like this mate looks good, how do you find it with having kids etc? I've just had a little one and think a nice rb182 or trophy would sit nicely on my drive amongst my other toys.
Also have you any idea where the itb cup is these days?

I pile all three of mine in mate - aged 2,3 and 4!

Re the cup, I think liam172 has got it up in Scotland. I made sure I HPI'd this one!

 

[leeds_182]

Well, after putting up with my noisy clutch release for a few months, ive given in and booked in with clioturbo for a new clutch.

Also bought that 3M kit to have a go at the lights.

 

[leeds_182]

Got the 3m kit and had a go. Realised after masking the bonnet up that I could just open the bonnet but there you go.

After;

Happy with the results and reccomend the kit.

Feel like I should take some credit for them nice looking headlights...

Peer pressure.

 

[Matthew]

Yup. Look better now pal...

 

[dann2707]

Nope you did right with the bonnet down. I lifted it up and I still find polish spots all over my engine bay :astonished:

Fair play mate. Hope the weather picks up!

 

[Brookie.]

Looking good Jim!

[Daniel]

I'd love to buy that! Looks lovely.

 

[leeds_182]

I'd love to buy that! Looks lovely.

Thanks, been offered 2k for it today which I may have been tempted to take if I hadn't just forked out £300 on a new clutch and £150 on tyres.

Not fussed if it doesn't sell though as it drives and looks spot on.

 

[Matthew]

Didnt last long! What you replacing it with pal?

You'll get 2,500 all day long so just wait for the right buyer.

 

[Daniel]

^this!! That car is worth £2500 all day long, don't take any less!
It may take a while though as it's Christmas.

 

[Matthew]

Defo. I let my RB go for £2,500 and I regretted it. Was worth 3k all day long.

 

[Chi]

What's the replacement going to be??

 

[Mr Plums]

That would pull 3k easily, dont rush mate its worth more than that.

 

[leeds_182]

Sold.

 

[Mr Plums]

How much you get?

 

[leeds_182]

How much you get?

Not enough!

 

[Mr Plums]

 

[Adamm.]

Bit gutting mate but as you know you never get back what you spend on these things.

 

[Stefan.]

That was quick, hope you didn't give it away...

 

[Matthew]

So.... What's next then?

 

[Stefan.]

My guess is boosted saxo....

 

[leeds_182]

Booooooooooooooooooooooost!

Dont know yet.

Anyone any suggestions?

 

[Matthew]

Kit car. Be ace at Blyton (I can have a passenger ride too).

Not so good for the school run.

 

[Matthew]

They can catch the bus surley?

 

[JMR]

Shame this didn't last long!

I had someone offer £4k for my 182 Cup (05) last week. But wouldn't be til a couple of months time.
Thinking about it :grinning:
Just had full alignment done (after bedding the Cooksports in) and replaced all the exhaust mounts, so its good all round as far as I can see.
Taking the wheels off over xmas for a full detail, cleaning up and spraying the hubs, then will see what Feb/March brings

Like everyone says, I'm happy to wait to get the right price, so if this £4k offer doesn't materialise, I'd take anything over £3k knowing its worth every penny.
That or I keep it another year.
4.5 years I've had this Jim! :smile:
