Default Saying Hello

Hi guys and gals, Just saying hello, I've been around on here for a while and thought I'd best introduce myself,

I have an RB5 which i have been bringing back to its former glory over the last 18 months with a few better bits than before, I live in Herts but not too far from Essex, If you see me give me a wave and I'm sure if I'm looking infront of me I'll wave back, LOL

Wantting to get to a few meets over the next few months, Here is my car,
When i bought her


Now

Hello & Welcome - thats quite a transformation you've done there - looks lovely Well done!

There's quite a few meets that get arranged - keep your eye on the forum - the regular ones are the posers cruise (first saturday of the month), the Half Way House and the Lodge - Halfway house is more of a "man" meet LMAO - whereas the Lodge is more family orientated.

Thanks for your welcome everyone,


Bodywork wise the car is finished, I had a full repaint last year and the WR spoiler was fitted a couple of months ago, Its currently sitting on Koni Adjustable but they are coming off as I've ordered someBC coilovers on the group buy, The car does quite a few track days and was stripped out with a roll cage, However, My wife is giving birth to our first baby in June so have put the interior back in it to enjoy it on the road,

Mod wise, Here is the spec list,
Engine

FMIC
VF23
Walboro fuel pump
exedy organic clutch
Unequal length tubular manifold
Magnex full system with de-cat
Simtek Managment
Antilag

Chassis

Koni Adjustables
Whiteline ARB front and rear
Antilift kit
Fully poybushed
Whiteline drop links
Compbrake 330mm brake conversion with 4 pots
Braided brake lines
Prodrive P1WRC 18's

Think Thats it,

Look forward to meeting everyone
