I've had to look about and try cobble a full set of OEM nuts to roll on. For a £50.00 set of nuts I'm less than impressed haha. This car does my head in. I'll be fitting some Muteki nuts and ARP extended studs when it's fixed. Edited July 8, 2016 by SamKidney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 6TWO1 Steel extended lug nuts. Plenty run them with no problems, and my wheels are OEM fitment in terms of depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Do 6TWO1 actually manufacture anything? Is it not just cheap rebranded stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their gear is actually really good. Their own brand coilovers have been a huge success, many run them on their track cars. I know Adam quite well and he's always been really helpful so I would hope he gets an answer to me soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I bet they just say "You must have over torqued them". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Surely extended nuts are always going to cause problems if your socket only sits on the top half of them? Especially if using a windy gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 The socket I use is a deep 19mm, it fully covers the nut. Also torqued to factory spec. Is what it is I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I'm not saying you over torqued them, but I reckon that's what they'll say - because you have no way to prove that you didn't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 It has been ages since I last had money to waste on cars, so this little package makes me happy. I kinda messed up though, the steering wheel is a good two inches closer than standard, feels way too close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 The 182 in question that im getting, anyone with a 182 spot anything noticeable i may of missed? So far body work wise, it has a cracked rear bumper, dented bonnet (shut dent?), dent on rear arch, scuffed front bumper. Brakes NEED replacing on the front so looking at the Brembo carbon things that are cheaper than the K-Tecs, and quite possibly K-Tec coilys or lowering springs maybe?

dann2707 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Looks OK. Would maybe give £1000 for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I cut and routed the beech surface and used the left over bit as a back, just needs a little more fine sanding and then some PU varnish to protect it a bit. I did wonder about routing out a recess in the middle so that screws and stuff don't fall off but then I realise I CBA and a magnetic tray will be fine anyway.

MadManMike Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Look on eBay, plenty of varying prices on there... That's a lot of car for £1400! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 It seems the average price for one on egay is about 2k? but most of those are high milage... When he has this car driving everyday, it was clean, and the paintwork isnt bad at all minus those points i previously mentioned. I think it should be a good car once i get it.

What mileage is it actually on? Belts havent been done by a specialist too which would put me off (yes it matters) Forthe shoddy paintwork and bad Brakes it's definitely not worth £1500. Offer him £1300 or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Actually Yeah after checking the mileage it is worth a bit more on 63k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Like Dann says, specialist for the belts does matter. No idea who Origin Automotive are, would be surprised if they had the tool to lock the cams and pulleys for a belt change. Personally would take it to a specialist after purchasing and have the belts done regardless of the receipt provided. Doubt you'd need a dephaser as that was done anyway. So I'd probably say £1300 tops, then expect £400 for the belts to be done. That should give your a solid car with no real worries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Why does it matter if a specialist did them? If they've been done, and the car is still running, what's the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
