Firstly I'd like to apologise in advance for the amount of pics for a clean and exhaust bush update but meh pics keep things interesting!
Right so!
It's time to stop moaning about the nigglies and start loving the car again. Although I technically hate the car for it's faults - BSI one is the f****r tbh... the top mounts/drop links and clutch judder are just things that all can be sorted in time. If I wasn't a student it would all be bang on and I'd love it. Tbh I do as it sits their gleaming on my drive @ just over 40k.
Anyways...
Out of all the above the exhaust sitting p**sed since I got it has been one of my hates. It's hard to find a decent straight fitting bush for the 180 : Janspeed. However thus far this bugger has done the job, haven't road tested it yet so unsure if it's going to vibrate on the bumper at times. The exhaust doesn't touch but it's cloooose.
Anywhooo here's the pics.
So here's the before [note] it sits like it's smoked a funny cigarette yup...
& here is a side view
But here we have resolve I tell you!
wooo
Finally, I thought I'd make the car smell of blueberry's mmmmmmm
So there we go, If you have a 180 with a Janspeed and it's sagging like a middle age womans bits go for the poly bush by SuperPro part no SPF2435K.

The exhaust position looks nice but is it touching there? Might start burning the little trim?
Nevertheless, I love seeing pics of your 180. Definately my fav on the site!
