It still has the problem of oversteering to the right, changed bearings,trackrod arm and arb drop links but still does it.Getting fed up with it now.

I dont see why you'd get fed up with it because of that? Unless it happens when your plodding along. Is yours lowered?

Its almost as if you have given the steering a extra yank 1/2 way through a corner, the car becomes very unbalanced. Only happens when cornering right though.

Yes it is lowered but was fine for 6 months before it started happening.

What are you getting to replace it. Im starting to consider what im going to replace the 182 with.

kefkef · 19 Aug 2009 at 18:34

I miss mine too, it's even worse when i see Gilly still being all smug driving it around!

Im afraid its another e46. 330ci Sport convertible.

rare · 19 Aug 2009 at 23:55

I replaced mine with a 330Ci to! The seating position is slightly better...

Would love a go in a 200 Cup mind you, still no faster than a 172 cup far as I can tell from the numbers though? Progress for you!

russ9898 · 20 Aug 2009 at 19:25

Cant blame you for swapping for a 330. I keep toying with the idea of selling my 182 and getting either a 330 coupe or audi tt 225.

Tom|Nbk · 20 Aug 2009 at 19:39

Considering replacing mine as it happens but I think I'll still have it in 2010 so.

Clio gone

noooo

im loving mine, only had it a few months now

I am actuaally thinking of replacing the air filter (when it needs to be done) to an aftermarket one, any differences?

A lot of people put in an ITG panel filter, I doubt it'll make any difference though.

not even any sound differences or better air flow?

jamoor · 30 Aug 2009 at 23:12

I own one of these,

very poor build!
The bootlid feels as though its about to fall off, I have tons of rattles all over, the engine mounts broke, although it's a good laugh.

ShiWarrior · 30 Aug 2009 at 23:14

mines fine, feels good all over, no rattles at all, except a bearing gone somewhere in the engine bay

Airflow difference will be marginal, it'll only sound better if you remove the acoustic valve.

Some people also replace the standard airbox with a V6 airbox (from an espace) + ITG panel filter. That seems to make a bit of a difference to both noise and airflow.
