drumsterphil - new ssteering wheel looks very nice, but what if you have a squash & no bag? I'd be worried. These things are there for a reason

My driving lights look different to those. Lens is not as clear. They are PIAA as there is a little box fastened inside the bonet, sort of in front of the radiator. Maybe. I'll look again tomorrow!

Do they need aligning like headlights? My left one seems to point more to verge than road.

 

Nuc' Pond - I think airbags only go off in a (very) small percentage of crashes. TBH, I'm not worried about not having an airbag wheel anymore, I'm more concerned in having a steering wheel that is smaller, and thus easier to user that tells you what the front wheels are doing so clearly - the wheel is the single most important connection a driver has with their car after all.

Trust me, the sacrifice is worth it! The steering is also meatier, requires a bit more effort - these are primarily drivers cars so it suits it well (and, of course, it looks cool! )

I've thought the same thing about my PIAA's as well! (And I thought I was going mad). In real life the lenses are not clear but take a pic and, hey presto, clear lenses! Trust me, your PIAA's are as they are meant to be!

The left should highlight the verge and right should shine straight ahead. You can alter them apparently but I've never figured out how to(luckily they're fine as they are on my car).

Nuc'P. forgot to say that it's pretty hard to find somebody who'll remove an airbag wheel and replace it with a non-airbag wheel.

For much the same reason as you stated these things having an airbag for a reason, my local tuning company were not covered by their public liability insurance to change it in case I was to have an accident and sue them for any resulting injuries (even if I signed a disclaimer saying I understood the risks of having a non-airbag wheel fitted).

drumsterphil - you car looks nice and if your happy then thats th emain thing. If you have a bump just lean over so the passenger bag saves you

When are we all gonna have a meet. An RB5 'Big One' maybe?

 

Looks cool

Is it me or does this thread keep messing up? (Keep seeing a new page added and go into it only to see the AODB error msg).

 

Have just had mine done by Dr Clifford with Armor Guard film (tinted).

Looks great!! I'll take some pictures when I've cleaned it up a bit!

Cost £220 all in.........

 

yes it keeps messing up

 

Phewww - glad I wasn't just seeing things!!

FB - how many windows did you get done for £220?

 

Hi lads

Got some time off soon so can really hammer on with this Club/Web-site thing.

Now then this meeting thing, April was the designed month and as for dates i'm sure most would want it on a weekend! Probably a sunday too. We should all meet and then have some food later on in the day after we have posed around the roads a bit .

How about April 6th. Which is first sunday of that month!? We'd all have to come to some arrangement where its to be held and kinda have it in a fair location so some ppl arent driving hundreds and hundreds of miles. Cant do the 5th as its my aniversary :O, not married yet but she would go nuts if i said right then im off to a scooby RB5 meeting LOL! If the 6th is to early then i thought more towards the end of the month, in the late 20's.

RB5 286, could you e-mail me m8, need to have a conversation and some design advice with photoshop etc! Better still get msn and add me as a contact. Online "there and then" advice would be better.

RB5,

Earlier in the month best for me............ holidays at the end.......

 

Drumsterphil,

5 windows done - 4 side windows are armor guard - rear window just tinted.

Fantastic job - looks brilliant too - (not blacked out - on the legal limit for front windows)

I was quoted £450 by the next cheapest - couldn't believe what I was hearing when I went to have a blackjax fitted and asked about tinting when I saw the Docs cars......

 

FB - that's fantastic value! You must be well pleased!

RB5 286 - go for all windows tinted IMO - I think it'll look incredible.

 

website updated

 

wife doesnt like the tints

wot do u think of the updated site?

 

So??? Are you a man or a mouse??????

The site is coming along v.nicely indeed. Are you planning on having a page were owners can post pics of their cars + modifications etc?

 

We are yes DP...just taking time at getting it right. I'm doing a flash site but time is short as i work lots of hours. Hours decrease at work soon hopefully so more time can be spent then on the sites.

 

R.B.5

The 6th is deffo a no no but 13th or 20th is O.K.

Just be sure to get a central venue coz i'll be travelling from the very North of England and i don't want to miss the first meet. Unfortunately my car will probably be "minging" so to speak due to the 'Central' location being MILES from my house

The Web site looks well done Mark (rb5 286)

Sti rear lenses in time for the meet

 

Bttt for the RB5s

Can't do early April, but 20th is bank holiday weekend so perhaps that would be best?

Laters

 

April 20th it is then! I'll be sure to speak with Mark about the date to make sure it's ok with him as well. I'll also make an announcement in the different location sections of scoobynet so all RB5 owners can be made aware.

 

i'll look to see if the date is ok with us.

i will add the date to my site in the news section so hopefully other RB5 owners will see it.

we just need a good location in the centre of england with a large space for the cars, not on grass!!!!!

gavin, wot do u think of the site so far? its pretty tame but looks a bit better with the title bar picture dont u think?

we have been too busy at work lately too even begin to get the designer to do that tron look

 

think the site is very good ,sad im selling mine now

 

I cant make easter sunday weekend. Going to a wedding back ooop north that weekend in April. Anything else is Ok at the mo, except for the nuneaton thing on the 2nd March.

Cheers.
Paul

 

Turbosport now a chargeable service. So no more uploading any of my new pics i took today

 

That's chargeable to the BBS though m8? They subscribe and we post... Simple!

Or am I wrong?

 

You are not wrong!

 

Cant get it to upload anything?! Shame as the pics are very nice. Oh i forgot to mention the RB5 Club meeting threads are kinda being mocked and hijacked so a helping hand in the events sections wouldnt go a miss. LOL im being flamed

 

Done it :

 

That looks spot on!!

 

More :

 

Those disks are Maaaahhhhuuuuussssiiiivvvveee!!!

Not too sure on the old de-tango and blue bulbs though mate... Still whatever tickles your fancy

I like things to remain pretty standard maybe boring but very
