how many of you own RB5's, lets see um

 

I got one

 

I had one but a jeep wrote it off.

 

Here Sir!

Mine is currently parked and getting upgraded with a rcm fuel pump, 550c injectors, VF37 and matching equal length manifold, exhaust, remap, panel filter, spark plugs and ECU remap.

It's a bit of a project and requires plenty of other stuff too!

I'm hoping to get it all done and back on the road in the coming weeks as I miss driving it!

 

You bought an rb rob ?

 

Here's mine:

 

that looks awsome

 

I like the Archies , I was thinking of doing the same to my car . I was wondering what size wheels and offset you were using ?

 

18x9.75 et20 perfect fit

 

How does affect the steering and feel of the car? how wide are the tyres and do you get any tram lining?

 

Lush. And in the best colour
I envy you!

 

Only ever had 18's to compare to but these handle and ride the same as any normal width 18inch, if anything more grip. Tyres are 265/35/18

 

Ouch, I bet they hurt your wallet.

 

Peccy im doing exactly the same thing to my rb5. Selling my polo just to get the wheels..what route did you go down when fitting the arches..bonded. bolted or both?

 

They are bolted. What wheel did u go for? Look forward to seeing a similar one. Spoilerless too?

 

Im thinking between xxr 527's . I have had them before and really like them. Xxr 521 or a set of jap race jr 3 or 5's.
I have a mid level spoiler which I wil keep I think...is there any chance you could get ne a few pics of wheel / arch clearance ?

 

Be interested to see to please.

 

sorry keep forgettin to park on the level to take some accurate pics....

 

what engine/power is it running now peccy?

 

*RB5s show yourselves

 

RB5 #027 is in Jersey, I exported her nearly 5 years ago from a private collector. Been serviced every 6 months from new and currently looked after by The Mansell Collection. My pride and joy that I use for hill climbs, sprints and track days in France :-)

 

Great to see these knocking about.

 

Mine is currently a lovely shade of mud, i'll post some pics after my abw conversion mid December

 

Seen this in person and its a stunning car!

Any more mods since last time?

 

M3 boot lip spoiler fitted.

ROOF FLAP coming soon!

 

Classic purists will probably tear me to shreds for this one but hey ho, spent a bit of time owning an E46 M3, S2000 etc but couldn't stay away forever. My first classic impreza.
I wanted a short project to build up for the Nurburging next year, but gone a little further than expected.

From this.



To this.


Thanks

 

At the immigrant wash earlier today.. needed a clean before going in for abw arches on Monday.

 

hope you got a quote first!? what wheel have you gone for?

 

Yes I have a quote I'm happy with. I went for XXR 527's 18x9 et20 with 255/35 profile tyres... It will look close to yours...im afraid to say :-)

 

Keep us posted Dan , mine will be off to abw in the new year too , will look spot on imo
