Good show i thought, was well worth the trek.
Spotted a RB182 by the entrance, silver 172, 172 cup, black 5dr semi 182 rep, a ph1 Monaco (?) 172 and a silver 172 with 182 style exhausts
Was mentioned in the Pistonheads badly modified thread. I disagree and think it looks awesome

Did i spy you at the Wilton House show yesterday? Wearing a red Nurburgring t-shirt.....
May have been some complete stranger, bearing in mind the last time (and only time we've met) was at that Porthcawl meet many years ago.:o
Hi guys,
Gave the RB a once over a couple of weeks back with the PC, but didn’t get a lot of the swirls out (although it’s only my 2nd time using it) but did succeed in getting some gloss back. Just wondering if anyone could suggest any better techniques or perhaps a different product I could...
Ok, an eventful morning today for spotting:
1. White 197 driving north on Lake Road West by Roath Park at about 7.50am, very nice young man;)
2. The yellow Widow Maker aka a 993 series 911 Turbo by the Magistrates Court/Prison at about 8.00am. L U S H :o
3. Most disappointing of all, a silver...
Black 182, lowered on trophy turinis.... was dressed in finest winter regalia (i.e. covered in dirt)
...now here's the worrying bit: I can't remember where I saw you parked!:S
I think it was Macintosh Place :clown::quiet:
Whats the SP with getting some spare caps to repaint?
Want to change the colour of mine, but keep the OE ones for when I sell.
All the mirrors I have seen at scrappies/ebay have been complete units so was wondering if anyone knew where to get the caps only or whether its a case of buying two...
Nice blue 172 with buckets and possibly anthricite 2118s?
Came past me in the inside lane near coventry....spitting a couple of flames out the exhaust:evil:
Both about 3.40ish today:
Black 172 by Cardiff Prison, looks good with the recessed exhaust - prospeed by any chance?
Mint and clean RB 197 on Mackintosh Place....need to get me one of those next!:cool:
Hi guys,
Had the H&Rs on about a fortnight, then yesterday when reversing out the drive there was some banging from the engine bay and some weird feedback through the steering.
Popped the bonnet and saw that the strut tops don't sit square in the engine bay, and they move oddly when you turn...
Housemate is selling his mint Lupo Gti due to buying a 330D for motorway use..... Will be a shame to see it go and I know if he could afford it, he would keep the Lupo tucked up in the garage for the weekend.:cool:
Not a swirl mark in sight, makes my 182 look like a right state when their...
Car is due its 3yr/36k service soon, rung Rentech who advised £375 max for the Aux belt kit and service - maybe as low as £275 depending on whether he uses all the pulleys etc.
I then asked about Cambelt change + service which is £660, which although not due till next year, would involve...
Think i'm going to take the plunge and invest in some H&R's for the 182.
Currently got sportlines on it, but want it to sit a little lower.;)
I have searched through, but still have a few unanswered questions:
1. If i get them set up to factory spec, will i need the camber adjusting bolts...
You were parked next to my RB182 in Century Wharf!:cool:
Can't believe how much bigger the 197 is compared to my 182.
Car was looking nice mate, but could do with a clean. Lol;)
Saw you last night on the way home from work. Spotted the CS sticker in the back window. Was in the gf's black mk3 otherwise i would have given you a wave! :cool:
Car looked nice btw.:o
Hi guys,
My 182 is now due for its 24000/ 2yr service and i'm looking for peeps recommendations on where i should take it in or around Cardiff.
I only work around the corner from Renualt Cardiff but after my gf's experiences with them and her clio, i was wondering if there were any independent...
My 182, once warm, ticks over at about 600ish rpm and feels quite lumpy when it does so - and sends slight pulsing vibrations through the car (most notable throught the gearstick). Is it normal for them to be quite lumpy on tickover or does mine need its idle speed looking at? :S
Hi Guys, Newbie here! :clap: (wanted a waving smilie - but couldnt find one)
Just bought a 54 plate FF 182 last week and its all gravy apart from there is a rattle/squeak in the dashboard! :mad: Which has really started to p**s me off. I have tried 2 short term solutions: 1. Ragging the nuts...
