What pictures?


No I can't. I'd try the uploader thingy rather than Yahoo.

Right - that'll teach me to be a smart-ar4e!! haha

Gone back to Turbosport - take it that Scoobynet/SDB has a subscription to allow us to use the uploader?

Cheers for the compliments guy!

RB5 286 - I'll pass on the lights as I've spent quite enough recently!!

The front spoiler really balances the car out in real life and I'm very pleased with how it's all turned out!

I love the colour of my wheels (dark anthracite) and they really bring the blue out in the bodywork. Having said that, M18use's RB5 looks gr8 with the silver wheels.

One thing I would say is how much the steering wheel has made a difference. It's 350mm dia and I find the car much easier to throw around now and there's a lot more feel now (no weighty airbag to damp out the vibes).

Nito from Nitosport fitted the wheel for me. Apparently you have to be very careful what boss you use as some have little purchase whatsoever (the boss alone cost me £150!).

Removing the airbag was a bit fraught (!)but it didn't explode (which can be a danger). You then have to make a contact for the horn and create a circuit to stop the airbag warning light from staying on. Most of these bits come with the boss.

It's well worth it in the end though!

Not happy with the people who haven't bothered to reply to our e-mails

Mark suggest we kick this up the **** cause most people cant be bothered. Theres a regular group of us here who post and comment, so suggest we just stick to our own areas and our own meetings.

I'll pay you half of what it costed to register the domain eh Mark, fair is fair. I'll still make the flash site and upload just so there is something there.

If only people would get off their ***** and be more social/involved then the club would take off. My opinion of course. Might seem a little miffed at the owners that cant be bothered but its you lot that have made this all go down hill.

Sad that people cant be bothered, but no suprise

RB5-Black, is that all you think your car is, a different colour!

Ring me asap if you like Mark to discuss what happens next!

R.B.5. - go on, splash the cash!! Life's to short to worry about things (and who knows, the world might end tomorrow:O)

I'm going to be having TEK2 fitted hopefully in the next couple of weeks and am looking forward to the performance increase that will(fingers crossed!)come along with a decent safety margin.

But if you're going full-on mod, new turbo etc then TEK3 sounds like a sound idea. Keep us informed, whatever you do!

Gotta say I prefer the originals - these look dated IMO (but then you can't argue with free!).

If you do get fed up with the look, send them up to me; I'm not the least bit fussy

Can you add a hint of red to the logo border to make it stand out a bit more and to tie in with RB5 colour ?

Looks good though
