Hey guys, i'm really bored and being on here for a good four years thought some may be interested anyway..
So previously i had a 220 bhp Ibiza cupra which really wasnt all it was cracked up to be, yes it was quick in a straight line, but it was just lacking charcter, sound's sad i know but since my Saxo VTS i've found it difficult to find a car with something about it. Now i feel i have with my 182 
Bought it about 4 month's ago now, 53k on the clock, both cup packs, 04 plate for 5.5k  Very happy with it, espcially the cruise control on the way back.
Anyway enough of the boring chit chat, some picture's video's and mods
Got it home and ofcourse took a few pictures standard as the day she comes
All i had done was the side badges a dark grey with silver lettering.
After two weeks of ownership i was off to Castle combe with WR, which was a great day not just cause of the track but it being a succesful maiden voyge for WR too.
Few pictures from round there, i was very slow due to 3 odd tires and terrential rain  
After that i realised the importance of good tires and promptly bought some good year eagle F1's and gave the car a small detail, also had some eibach sportline springs fitted lowering it 30mm and giving it a slightly firmer ride.
Foam
About a month later i headed off to curborough sprint track where the car performed amazingly, being the quickest there on the day.. Have very few pictures as i was having so much fun but i do have a video
Did about 40 laps and killed my tires

Tires were screwed so needed some new ones, however came across some immaculate trophy wheels and they just had to be bought the fact they came with michilens was a bonus
Need to get some better pictures of it really but you get the idea
That brings us pretty much up to date, ITG filter has been fitted along with a full Janspeed exhaust system and de-cat.
Was disapointed when i bought the exhaust as the centre section was just a tin with no insulating and sounded like this...

So went to my good friend in Stafford and got a new silencer put in and its mucho's better

Moving (although not above 5k where the magic happens)

Few pictures of the exhaust
Finally i designed a little badge and had it made up
And thats it really, hope i havent bored you to much.
H&Rs and brembo's are on order so i shall be updating shortly if they ever arrive !
