    Some people see the twin exhausts a bit chavvy and think they are non standard. Just slow down then boot it off into the distance.

    Hope you're enjoying the car.

    LOL I'm lost..

    Do you mean people tailgating mate, or people trying to break in on the principal you've got a system in there with the 182 being a rather nice sporty vehicle?

    If it's tailgating... Either leave a lot of room between you and the car infont of you so you've got extra braking time taking into consideration the d1ck behind you, or pull over and let them through, your 182 is too important to risk a claim

    If it's people trying to break in, reverse closely against walls when parked

    I find the 21mph for a while then engaging warp drive does the trick

    works every time... i usually go a little slower depending what the local limit is.

    30mph = 15mph

    Re: Does anyone else have this problem???

    I noticed the same going from a 1.2 to a 172, mainly from Golf and CTR drivers that think they are faster. Saying that it must be worse for 182 drivers as the 172mk1s look a little bit stealth.

    182 Full Fatt!

    Re: Does anyone else have this problem???

    I get it in the Clio but never in the Subaru.
    I guess some feel they have a chance. I had some guy in a Civic Type R last night driving like a real dick trying to make a point.
    Funny really as they have a better chance of beating me in the Subaru as it's such a hard car to launch right, it bogs down really easily.
    The Clio just goooooooooooes!!!
