Hello Si,
Great motor you've got there, it's very well known on the RB5 owners club.
You should pop over and say Hi
I'm a big fan of RB5's with black morettes (exactly what I've got )

The WR sport version was an optional upgrade available to all UK turbos in 1999 (including the RB5)
It included:
Prodrive High wing
Prodrive ECU, exhaust, and air filter
Inter-cooler piping
And optional suspension upgrade.

However your car (No 183) didn't have the upgrade when it was new.
An easy way to check is the WR versions had "WR sport" written on the clocks.

There is tons of information and history about your car at the RB5oc forum.
We're all obsessed by RB5's over there

Gorgeous looking RB5 you have there allways had a soft spot for them. Just be carefull about disclosing too much information about your security.

Si, I've spoken to the mods and they reckon it might be because RB5 183 is already registered by the previous owner (Dave, nice guy)
Try registering without a build number and see if that works.
Do you know exactly what error messages you were getting? I'll pass these on to the mods too.
