Great write up and journey you have had, such a nightmare beginning but looks like your sorted now. Fellow silver 182 owner here, not had an issue yet fingers crossed... By the way, are you using any special exhaust mount as yours seem really low? Mine sit too high at the minute.

I've fixed mine to the base frame using the same bolt that goes through the gearbox turret that affixed the original seat. I'm hoping I'm right in thinking this will be more than strong enough as it help the old seat! I would be reluctant to fit it to the side mounts, this would be like fitting...

Starting to get somewhere now. Stripped bare apart from the dash and door cards, bucket seats and harnesses in. First outing, probably Blyton for the a midlands Scoobies owners day

Damn I thought I did well at £1.20 wedged in the lower centre console :D

Been told this will lose BHP on the track, is this correct?

New wheels fitted

Next up was the wheels, bit scabby and tyres were not up to track action, thanks to cliometrics on Facebook I managed to pick up a tidy set of dark grey wheels with Federal track tyres with lots of tread for £200. Out with the old In with the new Another OCD moment was the wonky rattling tail...

So, long overdue update, been so busy with one thing and another not had time to do a great deal. First on the list was brakes, quick search of the forums led me to George, a few quid later and a front set of HC discs, DS2500 pads, Brake fluid and brake lines arrived. After a monings work they...

Subscribed so I can steal your good ideas :)

Fitted mine last week, love the roar at the top end.

DS2500 and Brembo HC discs fitted on the fronts.

How does the road noise compare now it's stripped?

Never been on a track before! Always sticked to being a bufty then giving it beans on the road at the right times and places. Going to retire the P1 now and look after it as a long term investment so needed something to keep me busy. It's a good example to be fair, had a minor collision and Cat...

Cheers bud, Getting the brakes and tyres sorted first then tracking her and seeing what she needs after. Its going to be a budget build and i will try and do the work myself :) Blyton Park in May will probably be the first outing. Bit reluctant to strip her at present, but might change my mind.

Looking good, any links to the parts you have bought, Im going down a similar route with a similar back story :)

Sacked in the morning.......

Looks fantastic, love looking through these threads.

That's now on my drive. :) Was it damaged down the offside?

Have you retained all the standard fixing methods? What benefit do they give?

Canon finepix thingy

Yes looks like a single back box and a bloody great gap of nothingness with some heat reflective wadding doing nothing :D

Just commenting some can come back and order discs and pads soon :D

Glue back box? Sorry not sure what you mean. I'll get some pics on the Ramps and that should clear things up, always nice to know full spec to compliment further mods. P1 is very photogenic, one for the future they are rising in value all the time, such a great car to drive, so much performance...

Scorpion stamped on the top, very similar to one I had on an old Toyota Corolla :)

That's what my mum said! It's good but not perfect :)

Bit extreme for sure, must be a members off here as it has a forum sticker :)

So this is how she looked after being deemed a Cat D, (see below) not too bad, just replacement parts needed nothing mechanical or paintworthy. What drew me to the car which was for sale just round the corner was the mechanical work it had done, no lumpy tick over, no rocking engine. 98k...

Hi all. Just bought a cheap cat D 182 in a view to making her into a enjoyable track prepared fun car. Currently own a P1 that generally gets polished and pampered and a company Golf GTD as a workhorse. Being a complete bufty this will be my first project which will require a bit more work than...
