Currently running nankang NS2R's on my 182. Absolutely blown away by them to be honest, ok so they're a semi slick and obviously great in the dry, but seem to be pretty good in the wet when required. Granted I don't drive like a loon in the wet, what's the point. They're running low now though...

A 380bhp Cupra R , How was it off the line in the wet? In fact how did you pull away quickly full stop? I had a Revo'd R ( circa 265bhp) for about 2 years , great car but I missed my old Scoob to much so went back to one of those. But , like the previous post said , CTR's ( Standard ones at...

Cheers guys for the replies! Well the reason I'm looking at a trophy is to try and strike a compromise really. Currently I've got an 04 JDM STi which I love , BUT , It's killing me on running costs & what with a mortgage etc I'm simply looking at alternatives really. I love driving & as a result...

Hello people, I'm seeking some advice really & thought where better, than in this forum ( That I've lurked in from time to time ) Thing is I'm looking to take the plunge & get a 182 Trophy , but looking at this site , loads of people seem to be getting rid of them! Is there something I should...
